Who is this intellectual class, that makes this organized assault? Can you name figureheads and their organizations? " Not only do we have the truth on our side, ..." That sounds very extremist to me. I have my beliefs yet would

1) because you are Christian ... 2) do you consider how Jewish people feel, who were prosecuted, discriminated and killed by Christians, when you refer to Judeo-Christian traditional values? The early massacres in Europe on Jewish people we

Christianity, Judaism and Islam make constant references to each other, as they are the Abrahamic religions. They share similar value systems, prophets and texts. Read Natan the Wise for a nice fable about that ;) I think you didn't me

I am raised catholic and go to church regularly. Universal human rights do not come from Christianity alone. If you take the tree example, let's make a mix of citrus, lemon, and orange. If you say it's just orange that's hidi

Neovim user here. I also use VS Code and especially the Jetbrain products for IDEs. Yet, Neovim is for me just an editor. - I like I can use the same editor on any platform. I'm a wearable computing nerd having several HMDs and small d

agree with some of your statement, not with your sentiment. I find your comment slightly off topic. I asked the original commenter if they read the thread, because they answered with a link to a horribly weak rebuttal of the first paper and

My point: There was and there still is a lot of racist, misogynistic stuff published in the past and today. The trials were just an example of that: assuming informed consent does not apply to Black people is racist, isn’t it? If you don

The Nazis were not about Ethnic conflict, they believed to be the master race ... that's very different. It's interesting you bring up Blank Slate and the Bell Curve. The first I agree with the second I find horribly flawed. For [

As it is inevitable that there is an influence, should we discourage or encourage misogynist, sexist, racist views? (or should we be very careful when we make claims about such views, in the past authors weren't careful and it led to a
