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.
Playing devil’s advocate, a person could provide false testimony, contrary to earlier truthful testimony, if they feel guilt over causing this person’s execution. In no way saying that is, or is not, the case here.
Regardless, the death penalty is a profound failure. It is more expensive, innocent people can be executed, and studies show that it provides no deterrent to criminals. There is literally no benefit.
What I said is absolutely correct. If you have a disagreement perhaps you should be more clear and less snarky.
That very well may be part of it, but I was commenting on what I believe to be the very real situation of a plurality of union members supporting Trump.
Is there any chance that a second Trump administration wouldn’t be markedly worse for organized labor? This is a textbook example of not voting for your own interests.
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.
If guns are good, and more guns mean more safety, why are they shooting at someone just because they have a gun?
Because I’m being sarcastic. I’m not actually advocating for shitting on poor people, I’m not Republican.
We’re Number 1! We’re Number 1! USA! USA! USA!
Sure, but if we don’t means test these things, how can we hurt the “right” (poor/minorities) people? /s
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.
I believe they’re confusing the term victim with the word volunteer.
Don’t worry, at least there are two pizzas for 50 people!
The protests should be louder, more numerous, and more in their face.
What’s the goal of the protests? For fewer people to vote for Harris or for Harris to change her position? Coming out against Israel, even if it’s the proper position, is going to turn off a lot of voters. It seems these protests will, if they have any effect at all, cause fewer people to vote for Harris. A Trump reelection is a fundamental threat to every issue I care about. These protests are flawed at every level. Perfect should not be the enemy of good, and Harris is, unequivocally, a positive for Palestinians.
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.
