magicaldorkface: OK so, I’m trying to figure this out. I’ve googled, but have yet to get a good, straight answer. Jesus’ Hebrew name was Yeshua. Not Jesus. Jesus is the English translation of the Greek translation of Yeshua. Yeshua is the Hebrew name for Joshua. So why then do people insist on calling… Good question, I never thought about it, but since you mentioned it i became...

extwofour: Morality without God, and God without morality.. Let’s take a look at a few things. What is existence? Existence is obviously the state of being. In opposition to the craze of post-modern existentialism, I believe that we do in fact exist within one objective realm. We live in a universe… I think we have a natural sense of morality. This stems from humans evolving from...

whitepeoplewithbraids: There are still white people putting braids in their hair. Today. Now. Why?? Maybe because it’s their hair and their choice? Why is this such a difficult concept?

The line is clear

dignifiedp: Right and wrong is always black and white, if you truly feel your straddling the line then I promise you your not on the right side. Morality should not be dictated by time nor by money nor by political stance but by every mans own moral compass that points them in the path of loving, protecting, and defending innocent lives to the greatest of there ability. -Alan Bartlett E Jr...

Ravings of a Madman: Theistic Belief →

guy1060: Let’s get this straight: Not everyone is an athiest who doesn’t subscribe to a specific church. And two different athiests could have different beliefs, etc. So Let me outline the simple terms so you can call yourself what you are: Apathiest: “I don’t care whether or not there is a God.” … I like this. I’d divide agnostics into hard and soft too though. Hard Agnostic:...

dumblrfeminist: It had been a long night. Police banging on every door, the streets filled with booms of gunfire and bombs.

He, as they described him, was the reason behind… I wonder if this girl happened to be the older sister of Martin Richard...

SJW: I actually don't like masculine honorifics.  If you could please refer to me as zesuir and ze for my pronoun?
Interviewer: Uh, ok... right then  Well Zesuir.... Caleb.  I reviewed your application for the position and I had a few questions if you would kindly answer them?
SJW: Certainly.
Interviewer: First and foremost, the position does indeed require a degree in a medical field and when calling your univ-
SJW: Medical science and health are social constructs designed to oppress those who violate conventional, white, cishet norms.

yourdadsfavoriteblog: I’m not even religious but the word “terrorist” infuriates me. Most people don’t even know the definition of terrorism. And that really pisses me off. You make a good point. The common definition of the worst Terrorist is; A person, group, or organization that uses violent action, or the threat of violent action, to further political goals; frequently in an attempt to...

youngandsweatpants: do people refrain from murder because it is illegal or because it feels morally wrong? does it only feel wrong because it is illegal? if murder was legal could more people kill without feeling bad? I think we have a natural sense of morality. This stems from humans evolving from community animals. Community animals rely on members of the pack to behave in a manor that...

Pro-choice versus Anti-choice

In the abortion debate the terms “pro-choice” and “pro-life” don’t accurately portray the different viewpoints. The opposite of pro-life would be pro-death or anti-life, but this would tremendously mischaracterizes the position of many pro-choice people. I consider myself to be pro-choice but that is not because I support abortion, I don’t. I consider myself to...

The fallacy of Privilege

The main fallacy of accusing an individual of having white privilege or not recognizing their privilege, results from applying something that is true on a macro level but totally in accurate on a micro level. I’m speaking here of white privilege but this applies to other privileges as well. On a macro level it is absolutely true that in many countries white people are in positions of power....

Dzokhar Tsarnaev

dirty-hips-and-perfect-lips: So you’re trying to tell me he is a horrible person? It is very unfortunate for Jahar that he had an older brother who became radicalized and convinced him to take part in the Boston Marathon bombing. My guess based on everything I have read about his life is that on his own Jahar would have grown up and led a normal life. Now due his older brothers influence,...

d0aner: i don’t understand why they don’t make him take a lie detector test? First, you cannot “make” someone take a lie detector test against their will, it violates the 4th and 5th Amendment protections. Second, even if they could convince him to take it, lie detector evidence is inadmissible in court. Third, they have so much evidence that Jahar participated in the murder of...

It is very unfortunate for Jahar that he had an older brother who became radicalized and convinced him to take part in the Boston Marathon bombing. My guess based on everything I have read about his life is that on his own Jahar would have grown up and led a normal life. Now due his older brothers influence, he has killed innocent people.

camilagrowup: Imagine you got a new outfit and you’re so excited to wear it. When you get to school or work or whatever everyone makes fun of you for it. They call you names and tell you how ugly the outfit is. Now imagine that one of those people snuck into your room one night and stole the outfit. They wear… This is not at all analogous to cultural appropriation. If you own an outfit...
