  Guilt and self-flagellation

  A child messiah

  Unquestioning dogma

  Ironically the environmental movement is fundamentally anti-capitalist and yet an increasing number of major companies are dishonestly using 'green' issues to sell their products.

  Disclaimer - I do believe climate change is a reality and that human activity is a significant factor.

  Evolution or Creation Poll

  evolution is how we got here.. demonstrate that you believe that all species evolved from a single cell over/within 3.5 billion years by tapping "like" below.. demonstrate that you believe in special creation by tapping "unlike" below..

  Does believing in cell to man evolution require faith? - Vander

  No of course not. That is an old canard that creationists use in order to pretend science is no different from religion. Only somebody who has no knowledge of the facts could take refuge in such a facile idea.

  I listen to some math scientists etc and they stated that jumping from one type of species like reptile to mammal is mathematically all but impossible

  Life has never 'jumped' from one species to another. If you could hold hands with your mother who held hands with her mother who held hands with her mother and so on and on back for thousands of generations you would not notice any change from one generation to the next. But if you compared your mother to her gx5000 grandmother you would see that they were very different. And then as you come forwards you would see another branch of a line stretching forward into the present day that evolved in a different way and gradually became modern primates.

  Also never listen to mathematicians about evolution or to taxi drivers about politics. If you want to know if speciation is possible talk to a biologist or a geneticist.

  Boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates

  now i think i may have seen everything.. "boy crowned prom queen by schoolmates".

  i'm all for people being entitled to wear what they want and live as they please as long as they're not harming anyone but - a male prom queen?

  maybe there wasn't much competition in his school?.

  Have we learned anything from that? - iwantoutnow

  Yes I learned not to fall for ideas that rest on ideology and dogma rather than reality.

  Would You Stop Buying A Product Because of Political Differences?

  by minimus in

  would you stop buying nike products because you didn’t like their politics?

  conversely, would you give business to a company because you liked their political stand on a matter?

  would you stop watching an entertainer because you disagree with their political perspectives?

  Like thousands of other men I have boycotted Gillette for their misandrist advertising campaign.

  It is satisfying to see that they wiped $8billion off the value of company last week.

  " The Origin of Life" -- Using the Bible

  by Doug Mason in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i am preparing three critiques on the watchtower's "the origin of life".. the first critique considers the scriptures that their brochure uses, and is available at: https://jwstudies.com/the_origin_of_life__the_bible.pdf .

  i expect to finalise the next critique some time next week and i hope to complete the third critique a week or two after that.. as usual, please help me, especially with typos and grammar (australian spelling in my comments needs to be tolerated.).

  If they used their resources to provide good homes and medical care for the Palestinians, the wind might have left the war balloon by now.

  Such naivety is incredible.
