    The Meaning of the Bible

    ok, it might be summed up that way, but i suggest that there are better ways to grok the meaning of the Bible.

    Should Fishing expeditions be legal?

    Im no apologist for Trump, but it is striking me as kind of obvious that many in the US PTB/Biden/Dem camp are working overtime to basically negate him, and it seems like they have basically taken control of the US? Which is why im skeptible that any standardization would be effective there...

    Is anti-rationalism the biggest problem in Christianity?

    How does one define “Christianity?” As humans we are big on redefining (relabeling) concepts to update them, or more often to make them more palatable, and i think most ppls definition of Christianity would include the belief that one might become an immortal after they have died, with the...

    Featured Is Atheism good for society and individual well-being?

    Atheists and Fundies have been compared before, and while that is generalizing i think many of the comparisons hold up. I would expect a believer to trust someone with a caduceus on their lapel bc they are both in the world, and neither understands the advice of the Bible there. Personally i...
