People who tell their own government to stop killing innocent people make the world better.

industry

An industry that utilises real resources and to make… nothing?

I will wait for humans to decide to feed hungry children.

There is no careful use of language that can stop people from preferring hatred. Humans are machines for making the world worse, and they will continue to do so, and while they do it they will rationalise doing it, and while people get hurt (including themselves) they will blame the victims.

“It’s not fascism!” they complain as minorities are scapegoated and children die. Just get used to the fact that anything that is pointed entirely towards harming people for fun and profit is going to attract a range of derogatory words, and maybe think about how to stop humans from hurting humans instead.

I never watch any Fox News content, because I don’t hate myself.

In fact, I avoid video footage of Trump in general. He’s creepy and gross, with a whiny annoying voice.

Yes. Hatred is not logical.

Why are US ‘pro-Israel’ groups boosting a far-right, anti-Muslim UK extremist?

And, remember, there were German Jews who supported Hitler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National_Jews

Let gravity do the work!

Everyone who wants to bring child marriage back should be put in a dumpster and fired at the sun.

I assume JD Vance hates children that have not contributed to America by having their own children.

Can the door be in the exosphere? Can he leave at escape velocity?

There’s more evidence that Jesus existed

Go on.

If anyone told me “Zeus was actually based on some guy from early Greece that we have historical evidence for” my reaction to that would be more along the line of “Oh, that’s interesting” instead of “Your evidence better be pretty overwhelming!”

You might react to tomatoes with an intense dislike, this does not stop them from being food. Your psychological preferences have no sway on facts.

In a similar way, do not assume your own excessive open-mindedness to statements made with a lack of evidence means that this is ‘correct’. Your preferences are not moral laws.

I’m autistic and logical. I don’t identify as a human. I don’t care what the majority thinks. I’m not going to go along with something because of the status quo. The status quo doesn’t feed children, it creates and exploits an underclass, it victim-blames for structural inequality. I distrust the status quo.

Every historian in the world could say we accept that “Jesus existed as a real man.” I don’t believe that without evidence.

Open-mindedness means being receptive to evidence, not being receptive to belief in the face of a lack of it.

It’s weird how it’s always the religious fundamentalists…

Yes, keep talking about yourself, dear.

But you saw a post disagreeing with your religious beliefs so you plugged your ears

No, it’s more that I’ve come across a truly obnoxious person, so I block them on Lemmy. Bye.

Why else would you be so offended

I don’t think the horror film character Candyman exists, either, but that’s not because I’m offended by a horrifically murdered black man becoming a personification of vengeance.

Therefore I question whether it is necessary that not thinking something always exists denotes being offended. How many gods and religions do you not believe in? Do you find those offensive? If yes, that’s your problem, not mine - do not hold me to your standards in this regard.

I don’t think you exist and are a wholesale invention. There’s no proof to the contrary.

Seek psychiatric help, you’re being rude to people that don’t exist. Also, you (for some reason) invent figments of your imagination that are more rational than you, which is messed up.

Just keep using the term.

don’t forget Biden throughout his whole career is on record saying he firmly believes in the Catholic Church and his politics do reflect that

I’m not American. Did Biden limit abortion?

The Christianist wing of the GOP just don’t get that bodily autonomy is a fundamental human right

Illiberal Conservatism is a real and growing threat. And ‘human rights’ are lesser, and entirely insignificant, compared to what those in power say God meant in the Bible.

Since I realised it, I have never forgotten that applying basic decency to all living beings is a revolutionary act that will be resisted in various ways, including violence, by those who uphold a status quo based on forced inequity.

Shit we need to enforce: being ostracised from society for purposefully trying to make the world worse for other people.

Historical evidence of a Jesus of Nazareth acting in ways that resemble a non-magical version of the New Testament is extremely underwhelming, to me. I don’t have a pro-Christian or pro-Abrahamic bias.

I don’t think any such figure existed, and was a wholesale invention.
