Ouch.

Just found out another person I know has covid, turned into pneumonia. That brings the personal count to 7.

Indeed, akin to a woman's excuse as to why she stays with her abusive husband.

Sounds sort of codependent to me.

Because, apparently, "god's love" outshines the abuse condoned by the book.

While I'm no feminist by modern interpretations, why any Woman would follow a Book which blames all problems ever on a Woman, in the first damn section, is beyond me.

Misery exists because it's one of the many costs of sentience. Which I guess is a complicated way of saying ignorance is bliss. But such statements always come with some truth.

Alien: "so you're telling me misery exists on my home planet millions of light years away because of a primitive event that happened here on your planet? Bitch, you be cray."

Oh no! Alien species are angrily combing the universe in search of a planet which caused all the misery in the universe and that is Earth where Adam and Eve ate the apple from a wrong tree.

You should see the trolls on the Reddit atheism sub-forum.

I'm guessing lots of christian forums have initiation ceremonies whereby the theists must troll an atheist forum, and ours just happens to be more popular because it's one of the top options in an engine search.

There is something about this forum that makes some people come here to manifest their anger and bitterness toward the world like some angry God, knowing they'll get banned.

And that's why he talked about Islam in the past. While today Muslim scholars & preachers are freaking out because of apparent high numbers of apostasy, video: https://fb.watch/2kpWx6ckwd/

There are 50 muslim majority countries out of which 13 have death penalty for apostasy so I don't think that is it. There is more to it.

At least this Muslim scholar, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, is honest when he says that Islam wouldn't exist today if Muslims got rid of death penalty as a punishment for apostasy https://dai.ly/x7y0iaj

I usually gift myself with whatever I want whenever I want, rather than waiting for a particular time of the year to do so.

I love chirstmas. All of our boxes are unwrapped and have the amazon smiley, but the kids don't care. Christmas is true because boxes of gifts showed up. OTO, that makes me worry that the rest of the year sucks, with no gift boxes.

Perhaps it's the limitations of the shoutbox. If you want a real debate, create a thread.

why are you two so bad at this?
