Re: Stats prove when women are safer

If 46% of sexual assault perpetrators are under 25, then that also means 54% of sexual assault perpetrators are 25 or OLDER. So by your very own reasoning, women are safer around men under age 25. Touché No, that's not how the numbers work, unless you could also say the 46% of men are under 25. If ...

Re: If Trump WAS Sent by God...

One person says there is a God, another says there is no God. One or the other is wrong. One person says there is a God, another says she disagrees. I haven't heard that many people declare there is no god, likely because that's just as baseless as saying there is one. There's a huge difference bet...

Re: If Trump WAS Sent by God...

You should stick with that, and insist on a definition of absolute truth that doesn't trivially circle back to "God". When most people say "absolute truth" they have no idea what they are talking about. Very good point. When Schmo said he believes in objective truth I find myself translating that i...

Re: If Trump WAS Sent by God...

I believe in the resurrection and second coming of Jesus. I realized long ago that there were people smarter than I am but also that I am not dumb. Christianity, or any other religion, has always had smart adherents. That's undeniable. The question, however, is whether they are applying the fullnes...

Re: If Trump WAS Sent by God...

It seems to me that you agree that there is absolute truth. Depends on what you mean by absolute truth. I definitely believe there's an objective truth. Without that, we couldn't have schedules or appointments where people show up at the same time and place, for instance. Are you agreeing that men ...

I also believe that what can be known about God has been made plain to men, yet men suppress truth in their unrighteousness.
Ironically, I agree with this. The only difference here is that the people suppressing the truth are theists. But yes, what can be known about god, nothing, is plain to see.

Re: Collaboration Between Artist and Audience

I really don't like the term atheist, and refuse to assume that label. It's partly due to the wide misunderstanding of it's modern use, but the main reason is why should I assume a label that describes something I'm not ? I wouldn't assume any other label which told someone else what I'm not, becaus...

Re: An odd case of liberal intellectual honesty on COVID

I honestly have trouble believing mr A-H is not the sock of one you "libruls" making fun of trumplican, double cultists who get all their information about the world outside their crappy little holler from right-wing rage bait for simpletons... Well if so, he's kept the act going consistently for y...

Re: Just be a guy for 5 seconds, okay?

Why would I lie about this? I wasn't trying to be safe (have you ever known me to pull punches?) I considered your question and what I wrote was the answer running through my brain. I've got no reason to lie about my opinion. One thing you alluded to that is absolutely true: I assess all individual...

Re: Just be a guy for 5 seconds, okay?

What about hair color? Do you guys have an opinion about natural vs artificial color? What if your female loved one decided to make her hair pink and purple. Would you be on board with that? My daughter has had almost every hair color you can get (well, probably not, but she's had a wide variety), ...
