Sunday School 1 year, 5 months agoEnco,
Yes, I agree. The motto of Atheist Ireland is “You have Rights, your beliefs do not”. The problem happens in places where political parties have a theocratic foundation. A country or State needs to be Secular to negate this. People of any religion or none should have equal standing under the law. The role of government should be to act an…[Read more]

When someone expresses the belief that they are not the gender biology gave them, like most beliefs, it is either true or false is it not? Maybe the best approach is to offer these folks therapy. How far do we give in to this “I identify as” phenomenon. For example, do you remember Rachel Dolezal, the white woman who identified as black to such…[Read more]

Frankly, fuck the trajectory of sports. The commercialization, and the “win at any cost” and constant effort at cheating.Right now, the main controversy isn’t at the pro level. It’s at the high school and college level.

Before I begin, I recognize that Trump and MAGA come at this issue from a either a hate- or religion-based angle. Let’s set that aside and realize that it’s a real issue that would eventually come up without them.
How seriously to take gender identity is becoming impossible to sidestep in the world of…[Read more]

Sunday School 1 year, 5 months ago@Enco – Coincidentally, I was reading this Quillette article yesterday. I agree with what you say.
I was very deliberate and careful in my wording of the post 🙂

Sunday School 1 year, 5 months agoI seldom spend time in the Southern States during the summer months. I can handle 80F – 85F in many countries as I tend to spend a lot of time outside. The humidity gets to me and I find it very unpleasant especially if I want to go for a run. I also don’t like the atmosphere created by air con units unless they are properly maintained. I spent 2…[Read more]
