Theism is belief in a god, atheism is a lack of belief. Atheism is not necessarily a belief that god does not exist. Gnostic is about knowledge and not belief, which is why you can have an agnostic theist. Agnostic is not a middle ground between theism and atheism, there is no middle ground. I can correct you, but I can’t make you understand it.
What I said is absolutely correct. If you have a disagreement perhaps you should be more clear and less snarky.
Atheism is the belief that there are no gods and out right rejection in the belief of any gods.
No, not quite. Atheism is not believing in a god, it doesn’t mean you claim there is not a god. A subtle difference, but it is the difference between not believing, and believing not. Also, agnosticism isn’t a middle ground between theism and atheism, there is no middle ground, as it is dichotomous. Agnosticism speaks to knowledge, or what you claim to know. So, a person could be an agnostic atheist, or an agnostic theist.
You see, it’s just a coincidence that he is running against someone who is black and Indian and he just happened to pick the two most racist and stereotypical dishes associated with each.
We’re Number 1! We’re Number 1! USA! USA! USA!
While I guess areas may be different, the high school I went to, and also the area I now live in, have varsity and JV teams. You had to be good enough to make varsity, but no one got cut from JV. Just belonging on a team is enough for some kids to make it all bearable. Everyone mentions scholarships, but how often is this honestly actually an issue?
What do you need to know? It’s a high school team, not the Olympics. Why wouldn’t the default always be inclusion? High school is a tough time for a lot of kids, and I’d imagine it’s more difficult for most trans kids. If participating in sports makes it 5% easier, then so be it.
There is, it’s the constitution. You can’t be a member of the House without being 25 or a senator without being 30.
Buried lead:
It’s LEDE, not lead.
It took me 40+ years to learn this, just passing it along.
Don’t worry, at least there are two pizzas for 50 people!
Dems not catching up to other left parties in other countries isn’t Dems moving right. The examples I gave demonstrate a clear, if only moderate, move to the left. Their move is barely perceptible, but certainly not to the right.
Your argument is that the Dems have moved to the right, but I’m struggling to think of any examples of that in the last 30+ years. During Clinton’s term they passed DOMA and DADT, and now they’re in favor of same sex marriage and trans rights. The ACA, CFPB, attempts at student loan forgiveness, lowering prescription prices, etc. I just don’t see how the left has moved to the right, although I agree that the right has moved right.
I never understand people who make comments like this, what were you expecting going into Twisters? Citizen Kane? I watched Twisters today, it was a mindlessly fun little movie, exactly as expected.
The main question seems to be why is the birth rate declining. Presumably people not wanting kids have existed during all times. But even if we assume that there are more people per capita who don’t want kids, the question persists, why is that the case, and how much of the decline is attributable to it.
I call myself “Top Lover” but if you talk to my wife you’d get a different story…
Acting like she wasn’t a “cop cop” is disingenuous.
I think the word you’re looking for is accurate. She wasn’t a cop.
Haven’t you ever seen an episode of Law & Order?
In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.
as a former cop
When was she a cop? Thought she was a (assistant ) district attorney and then AG.
‘this is the most important election of my lifetime’… Bunch of bull.
I don’t know, because of 2016 a lot of rights got stripped away by right wing justices. Their rulings will have a lasting impact. Roe is in the news, but overturning Chevron deference is absolutely huge.
Project 2025 overturning civil service reform and returning to patronage would be terrible, not to mention Christian nationalism.
The people who want to do evil shit don’t take elections off, so if you care about anything at all, you shouldn’t either. I don’t know why it’s so difficult for people to just vote.
Yes, I’m on one side, with dictionaries, etymology, and the majority of atheists, and you’re on the other side. I would agree with you but then we’d both be wrong.
