Mx (pronounced “mix”) is getting more common

Also, Dr

Why? This is a scene from a satirical movie parodying fascism

Spacetime is a lie.

I use simple science to evidence the existence of the gods. Richard Dawkins is actually responsible for the scientific breakthrough that proved theism.

See, Dawkins came up with this model of the “meme” and the field of memetics. The core concept is that ideas spread through the human population like germs. They reproduce, mutate, and some ideas are fitter than others. In other words, they’re subject to evolutionary pressures. They behave just like living organisms. They grow and change in order to secure their own survival and dominance in the ecosystem.

So if ideas are alive, and some ideas are the gods, then the gods are alive as ideas. They act to secure their own existence. Take the cultural genocide enacted by Christians on the rest of the world during colonisation. This is easily explained by an idea that wants to be the only god anyone believes in, and which can act to this end. Because the strains of the meme which propagate the most are blind and hateful loyalty. The Christian god really is alive and he really does control Christians. He’s an idea, and he wants to be in everyone’s head.

Every god worshipped by some religion, no matter how small, is real. They are made real by worship.

The Bible was written by humans, it’s not an authoritative text.

Sense is made by the observer. Let me illustrate with an example. Suppose I were trying to determine whether pills can really cure illnesses. So I ask my friends where I can get some pills to do this experiment, and they refer me to their ecstasy guy. I try experimenting with ecstasy to find if it can cure the common cold, covid-19, and cancer. After rigorous trials, I correctly determine that ecstasy cannot cure any of those illnesses. And then I read the incorrect conclusion that pills don’t cure illnesses. My mistake was over generalising. It was a bad methodology.

Likewise, many people experiment with only one religion and determine religion is bad. Just like in the example I experimented with only one pill and determined pills aren’t useful. It’s the same mistake.

Yes, I’m a scientist, and my scientific views have lead me to adopt religion. I’m always interested in correctly applying the scientific method to find the truth

It sounds like the sum total of your experiments with religion were experiments with Christianity. That isn’t a very sound methodology for experimentation.

I want to reduce abortions by providing easy access to sex ed and free condoms. Abortions should still be 100% legal and easy to get, but there ought be less of them cause they suck to go through.

Anyway, hail Satan.

Coal fire powered electricity is a fad.

For code I use chagpt for first pass questions. Then I try compiling it and see if gpt is telling the truth

Moderators and users don’t always agree on what hate speech is. For example, people often use my mental disability as a pejorative for people they don’t like. Half of them claim they weren’t really talking about my disability and it’s just a coincidence they used the same word. The other half will say they 100% intended to accuse the other person of being disabled. To me, both are unacceptable.

Can we get a transcript for visually impaired users? I can’t read this.

The outlet that posted this is conservative and intended to rile people up on purpose.

No, in order to believe that’s true I have to believe that the definition of “cult” is “a small religion”

It’s not a cult if everyone believes in it

Well you see, vegans are people who don’t like slavery, and don’t eat meat or milk or eggs that come from slaves. Because vegans think eating the corpses of slaves is wrong

Kryten!

I don’t think a dog is capable of agreeing philosophically with veganism, because dogs don’t understand what slavery is. But dogs are capable of living healthy lives on a vegan diet
