Inherit the wind

by truthseeker100 in

has anyone seen the movie inherit the wind?

i just got done watching the 1999 remake of the original 1960.. it's about two lawyers arguing in court about the guilt or innocence of a school teacher, teaching evolution.. it's about as pertinent today as it was in 1999 or 1960. it's really a good movie.

American Woman - Lucky 'peggers

I think it was meant as anti-big city and anti-draft for the Vietnam war.
How the whole country's women, urban and rural, get targeted for those, esp.
when a big percent of the young ones more likely to be buying records were
protesting Vietnam, I have no idea. It just comes off as nationalism against
American women which is a dumb expression of those complaints and generally.
Enjoyable jam, though.

The Atheist Ten Non-Commandments

by AndDontCallMeShirley in

according to a number of studies though, religion is in trouble.

a survey by the pew research center in 2012 saw record numbers indicating a huge upswing in atheism, with 20 percent of americans now identifying as agnostic, atheist or "unaffiliated" with a religion.

this was the highest percentages ever of "nones" or those who are unaffiliated in pew research center polling.. so with more people considering themselves atheist, what do they believe when it comes to the rules to live by?

Believers or non-believers in the basic god/God concept, kept in mind as a possibility you might hope for or not, can be right by science or ethics

I'd discourage conservative belief stances as I would conservative social stances as matters of misinformation and needless harm. Ethics dictate harm would by unjustified for a possibility--it would be arbitrary--sadism and murder. And kept in mind as a possibility beyond what science determines it wouldn't make for a reason to change the findings of science.

I would then just add that you don't need to not believe in god/God to live by the things listed, either--to be a nice ethical person up to speed on things

And, whichever your choice, try to be friends and not 'centric or intolerant either way. 'Centric intolerance has caused the most harm by believers or non-believers.
