Fellow Unbelievers,

A small self-correction: You dial 811 before you dig. 711 is for Text Telephone Telecommunications Relay Service for the deaf or hard-of-hearing.

Of course, since the little Zealots in Crown Heights are morally tone-deaf to the consequences of their ‘Messiah’-motivated digging, perhaps they should first call 711 and then…[Read more]

Unseen and Fwllow Un elievers,

Here’s the latest news I’ve found out about the sit-rep in Crown Heights:

Fellow Unbelievers,

Volition and causality are not opposed to each other. When we say that someone chose to do something, we are saying that they are casual agents that acted to produce an effect.

And if Determinism is true, then whether we can know whether anything is true or false is outside of our control and everything is ultimately…[Read more]

Jake,

Notice how the language suggests dualism?

We can’t really conceive of anything but our own agency. Where are we? WHERE, GODDAMNIT TO FUCKING HELL!

Are you on a beach staring at a smashed Statue Of Liberty? I can’t see from being water-hosed in my cage! IT’S A MADHOUSE!! A MAAAADHOUSE!!!
😡🦍😉

Unseen,

Not meaning to ignore the possibility of child abuse. It certainly can and does happen with any community that is isolated from and secretive to the larger world. But with stories like this, it is best to wait and see further details as they arise.

What is already clear is reprehensible enough. The mere act of digging under and into…[Read more]

Unseen,

This is an ongoing story and who knows what kind of horrible thing is happening here, but one thing is for sure:

These jerks wouldn’t be digging tunnels and jeopardizing the property, safety, and lives of people above ground if it wasn’t for religion.

What Unbeliever would go to the trouble of digging a hole to a house of worship…[Read more]

Jake and Fellow Unbelievers,

Here are more details from the Crown Heights tunnel story:

Basically, a bunch of modern-day Zealot Lubavicher Sons-A-Bitchers who wanted to expand the Headquarters against the consent of the owners and whose tunnel jeopardized the property, safety, and lives of their neighbors.

Again, another case of believing in…[Read more]

Jake,

That’s all right. We can go back and forth on this or any subject later. I was preoccupied with this bizarre story last night:

The mechanics of how this could be done unnoticed in a high population area like New York City is the real head-scratcher, much less the rationale of the obvious…[Read more]

Jake,

Enco, so i assume you are fine with the voters deciding?

Then why should we care where the candidate is born?

Well, technically, politicians can act against the nation and give aid and comfort to enemies whether the politicians are home-grown or naturalized, but Trump is a U.S. Citizen and not (yet) barred from serving in office, so…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers,

All these opponents of Israel occupying “open air prison” Gaza and The West Bank sure do love occupying the streets and bridges of New York City and imprisoning all who depend on transportation and commerce:

Jake,

Occupational licensure has little to do with assuring competency that can’t be addressed with tort law, but has everything to do with existing professionals using government power to supress competition from newcomers, as is the case with this North Carolina group of paralegals:

North Carolina Nonprofit and Paralegals Sue State Over First…[Read more]

Jake,

We don’t allow people to become professional anythings without getting a license. Once having earned a professional license we insist on maintenance of certain professional responsibilities the violation of which results in suspension or revocation of license.

So a license to be President???

I think watching the horses round the track h…[Read more]

Unapologetic,

Putting a gag on Faux Opinion channel would go a long way to calming shit down.

No fan of Trump, but you’re advocating censorship in the name of stopping a would-be dictator? And censoring a network that has probably given Atheists more of a voice than any other network? I hope you are reading your own words. The cognitive…[Read more]
