RichRaelian,

All well and good, but where’s the Atheism angle to the story?

Unseen,

One good thing about a fridge, cupbords, and a “panic room” full of tin cans, Ball Jars, Mason Jars, and Food Saver vacuum bags of your favorite edibles, plus tool boxes and pockets of multi-tools with openers and knives: none of it depends on anyones promise to pay.

They’ll fill you if you fill them, they’ll fill you longer if you eat…[Read more]

RichRaelian,

Even the most powerful AI in the world still needs humans to maintain it. Take it from one who baby-sits 9 registers on a self-checkout. SkyNet’s not ready for Prime Time yet. And don’t get me started on that UBI nonsense!

Robert,

The bank’s investment in low-interest, low-value T-Bills instead of loaning it’s capital for higher interest combined with the the high insurance of $250,000 per account is precisely why SVB is in the mess it’s in! That’s what created the bust!

What created the the boom that led to the bust was all these subsidies for “Green Jobs and…[Read more]

RichRaelian,

I’m not sure where the Atheist connection is with that incident. Sacheen Littlefeather didn’t speak of Atheism.

I did see a video where Brando refused to swear on God in a court:

Robert,

I hear ya, but I believe that raising the quality of life for the most unfortunate quartile benefits us all in ways you couldn’t even imagine. And inversely, keep them down and you pay for them 10 fold.

And I also believe there are catch-22 scenarios for many who simply need the experience to qualify but don’t have those life sit…

Robert,

After now going on 3 years of labor shortages in retail and food service, and supply chain problems from trucker shortages and manufacturing shortages, and the train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio, and the SVB crash, and a dementia-riddled codger presiding over it all, merit and ability should be the only rational consideration in hiring,…[Read more]

Unseen,

Whether a person “identifies as” some immutable trait or actually is some immutable trait should not matter in a world with even just a smidge of rational thought left in it.

If Michelle Yeoh (and parenthetically “Yeoh!” is my interjection 😍) does a fantastic job of portraying a character in a motion picture, her accidents of birth are…[Read more]

Unseen,

Just to let you know: If you are genuinely playing Devil’s Advocate with your postings, I will, in my infinite mercy, spare you the Sanford Dummy Reel.
😁 🌥

It’s just that sometimes it’s aggravating when you don’t know somebody’s doing that.

Now, “peanut gallery?” Mumbo Jumbo?” When did these become verboten? One of the Lefty…[Read more]

Jake,

The video?…What the Hell, man? 😁

Rhonjon,

If I were describing a character in Greek mythology or popular fiction, I wouldn’t leave a disclaimer letting people know that character doesn’t really exist. Maybe I should do that when I describe god. I just figure that at an atheist website, it goes without saying.

This is true, though as you can see from Forum activity, we som…[Read more]

Rhonjon and Fellow Unbelievers,

For real-life example of a psychopath, here is Exhibit A ripped from the headlines:
