Non-christians and Christians alike seem to think the existence of multiple stories about a particular person written down after all first parties were dead means a historical Jesus is a certainty. I actually like Christianity and many of t

I don't want or expect you to do a book report for me :) but would you mind linking a thread or two here that an enthusiastic moron could pull at for more detail?

Zero-sum profit certainly requires taking from someone else to succeed. This doesn't make it immoral as such but it creates malevolent incentives.

Yes, the one bordering Russia, that was contemplating joining an organization which aims missiles at Russia. This doesn't excuse the invasion but your reasoning is self-defeating.

Who were the founders, again? Why do Palestinians have to care what those founders think of anything?

Meant to reply with this here and not on the child comment, but either way here is something truly bad you can start with that may meet some of your needs: https://github.com/gatlin/valet If you make it less bad I wi

That's the entire point: to force you to see a problem they feel is ignored. Go tell them your feelings on free speech, I'm sure they'll listen.

What's disappointing is that even if (sticking with your example) "high school boy" isn't a distinct gender in the way you mean, there is still potential for anthropological investigation into the phenomenon of a person&

Some of us aren't as enthusiastic about the idea of giving these amoral companies access to our children, regardless of how polished the product is or how many times I reread the article. I hope I am qualified to dislike this service.
