  • The murder-to-save-babies community is entirely faith-based

  • Despite having nuclear weapons and not being a party to the NPT, Israel has never threatened to use them.

    Unlike Iran and most of its neighbors which threaten to destroy Israel every chance they get.

  • Illegal, maybe. But... Unjustified? Maybe the author is unaware of Isreal's recent divulgence of Iran's plan to sprint for a nuke while its militant religious zealots in Hamas and Hizbullah are hobbled? Or how openly the mullahs state that they will use it?

  • "Atheists" who make themselves, or the State, a swap-in replacement for God(s) are not much different from purely religious authorities who abuse their positions. It is apparently a common kind of power-seeking Dark Trait.

    The Leviathan theory of the state -- the Motherland who is greater than us, who we would die for as cells die to preserve the body, and whose Exegeses come from the Great Leader/Supreme Council/President for Life.

    It's exactly the same play on faith and credulity and servility that religions use.

  • Bingo.

    I have way more respect for ravers at Burning Man who OD on Ecstasy while dancing naked and copulating for 14 hours straight.

    At least they enjoyed their completely unproductive dalliance

  • Atheists don't need to disprove theists any more than they need to disprove Leprechauns. The burden of proof is on the one making the positive assertion.

  • Geez Donald wouldn't it be awesome to have kickass fighters like that on our side?!?

  • However it divides up, I want to be on the side that has scientists and vaccines

  • It plays to his anti-intellectual base: "See? We are finally pw0ning those effete libs and putting the money into the trades."

    (You know you could put a lot of people through trade school for the cost of one big military parade, and not have to give up f'ing cancer research)

    Trump Wants $3 Billion in Harvard Grants Redirected to Trade Schools

    the president mused about redirecting $3 billion in research grant funding that his administration has frozen or withdrawn

  • TBH if the economy crashes HARD for the next 3.5 years that may help wean some MAGA away from their FOX/OAN/RT propaganda bubble

  • You don't need to be in the USA to fight.

    The fight was won by Russian troll farms operating in Iran. https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/07/magazine/the-agency.html
