i always find it odd that people bash religion. Having a belief in a higher power is detestable? I just don't fucking get it.

There is a reason that mankind has survived for hundreds of thousands of years and IMO a lot of it is based on hope and dreams of a higher power.

eheathLets keep the trolling to a minimum, this is a serious topic that I think almost all of us agree on.

THe only thing that bothers me is late term abortion. I'm just not sure what the cut off should be. Aborting a 6 month baby has to be pretty fucking brutal.

And to be completely honest religion hasn't taken many lives in the last 100 years compared to the same 100 years about 5,000 years ago. THe last 100 years were WW1, WW2, Vietnam, etc. None of which were fought based on religion.

I just wanted to point out that the crusades were in the year 1095 - 1291. That's less than 800 years ago. While I agree humans have taken much more lives since then not for religious reasons, its really not ancient history as much as we like to think.

I don't think it's the belief in a higher power that's the issue. It's moreso when you're belief, or faith, is inarguable and absolute that it is a problem.

If your belief is that anything you do is the decree of God, then even the most evil things you could want to do are justified within that system.

I think that helped societies organize but killing people because they didn't pay the Catholic church, or wanted to read the bible, or because they wanted to talk to other people besides just their husband are probably not a great things. But if you are a religious fundamentalist then these are inherently all completely justified. As it is the interpreted will of god.

And when there is more than one religious system, conflict between systems is almost necessary. This has been true throughout history and remains true today, though to a smaller degree.

I will say though that religion is not as bad that the reddit atheists make it out to be.

I think part of the reason why we see some of the social issues we see today is that the quick shift away from religion has really broken apart local communities, and we haven't really figured out a replacement yet. 100 years ago you knew everyone in your community, and that was at least in part because everyone went to some sort of religious gathering. Whether it was Jewish, Muslim, or Christian the church was where you got help, met spouses, got involved in the community etc.

Craw_DaddyIt wasn't constitutionally protected... The Roe v Wade decision was based on a weak argument. Congress needs to codify the right to abortions and we need to have some actual regulation around it. Late-term abortions shouldn't be legal but everyone should have access to them.

I don't know about weak argument. I read both opinions and basically my understanding of Roe is:
- 14th amendment says a state cannot deprive any person of liberty without due process
- SCOTUS used that in a bunch of cases to recognize rights not explicitly mentioned as still protected, and the other example they gave is privacy (which makes sense, liberty is pretty vague and definitely open to interpretation)
- So SCOTUS used that same logic and said a women's right to do what she wants with her body is also protected even if not explicitly mentioned
But they didn't stop there: they also recognized the right for states to protect the potential for life (unborn child), and how these two interests were in conflict, so they came up with a compromise: first trimester - the woman's right prevails, third trimester - the potential child's life prevails. (as for the second trimester, government can regulate it)

This seems like a sounds argument, and a balanced compromise that recognizes the two conflicting interest (not everything is black or white).

The new opinion, on the other hand, basically says that you can't interpret what goes under liberty, and since abortion is not explicitly mentioned, it's not protected. It also says we should therefore revisit everything else that has been previously put under that same umbrella: gay marriage, contraception, interracial marriage, etc. (there are a LOT of other rights that have been put under the 14th amendment)

I still think the right to do with your body what you want falls under liberty ("the power or scope to act as one pleases") and therefore should be recognized by the constitution, I think it's a sound argument, so I disagree that Roe is weak.

But I agree with you that congress should now codify abortions, no way around it, and democrats and moderate republicans certainly had plenty of time to do that in the past 50 years, it's a shame it had to come to that for them to now more seriously consider it.

Literally every genocide the world has had this century has had some sort of religious or ethical influence. Way beyond wars man. Ffs 500+ people were just murdered in an ethnic cleansing type of way in Ethiopia last week. People are murdered all the time for their religious beliefs by other radical groups who think their religion is top titty.

The Armenian genocide was carried out based on a sect of humans. Armenians are Christians, muslims and other.

This was a genocide completely non religion based.

The crusades were based and the 21st century isms killed more people than the 1000's of years of Catholic rule. 20 - 40 million people were executed or were shipped off to the gulags to die a slow painful death because they didn't worship the Bolshevik state or professed Christianity.

Hitler didn't want to kill everyone, he just took the fad of eugenics which was founded in America and Britain and applied it to his National Socialist ism. He hated Jews because a bunch of rich financiers, some of whom were Jews, screwed Germany after WW1 and he used a Straussian myth to blame the Treaty of Versailles on all Jews, while waging war on high finance. That is except for the 150,000+ Jews who fought for the Reich and a certain Rosenberg, who has Jewish ancestry and was the creator of the ideology of Nazism which persecuted not only Jews but the Church and proclaimed a racial irreligious ideology not unlike Zionism today. Many of the early concentration camps were guarded by Ashkenazi Jews who were Zionists who were members of the SS. “In 90 percent of the cases it was the Jewish police who uncovered the hideouts [of Jews]. First they found out where the hideouts were; then they passed the information along to the Ukrainians and Germans," and this was before any persecution began. “In some of the various Judenrat, elements from the underworld volunteered to help subjugate the Jews. Even if there were some people within the ranks of the Judenrat who meant well, from an objective point of view, they could still be considered traitors since they diligently followed the Nazis’ orders.” “During the first period of the Deportation, which lasted for several weeks, only the Jewish Police rounded up the Jews to march them off to the Umschlagplatz at the railroad station..."

And the Polish citizens fought the Germans and hid Jews from persecution and they got in return a Soviet-imposed Communist puppet government in Poland dominated by Jews.

"Crypto-Jews were especially prominent as leaders of the hated Communist security forces–the U. B. (or Bezpieka), and filled many other top positions in the Soviet puppet state. Consider (pp. 99-100): Roman Romkowski (Natan Grinszpan-Kikiel), Mieczyslaw Mietkowski (Mojzesz Bobrowicki), Leon Andrejewski (Ajzen Lajb Wolf), Jozef Rozanski (Jozef Goldberg), Edward Kalecki (Szymon Eliasz Tenenbaum), Leon Gangel (Lew Gangel), Ludwik Pzysuski (Salomon Przysuski), Michal Tyboryski (Mojzesz Taboryski), Feliks Goldsztajn (Fiszel Goldsztajn), Zygmunt Okret (Nechemiasz Okret), Roman Garbowski (Rachamiel Garber), Jozef Czaplicki (Izydor Kurc), Julian Konar (Julian Jakub Kohn), Leon Rubinstein (Lejba Rubinstein), Aleksander Wolski (Salomon Dyszko), Bernard Konieczny (Bernard Bernstein), Waclaw Komar (Mendel Kossoj), Marek Fink (Mark Finkienberg), Jozef Swiatlo (Izaak Fleischfarb), Henryk Piasecki (Izrael Chaim Pesses)."

I honestly wonder how little historical knowledge you have to list “the holocaust” as your shining example of religion being responsible for atrocity, when Hitler was at best a private catholic who disliked the decadent excesses of what the church had become. Leopold II was an order of magnitude more brutal and killed far more people, while being a literal catholic king. Chairman Mao laughs at your pathetic excuses for mass killers in just a couple of years.

None of these people did what they did in the name of religion - these are narcissistic tyrants. They do what they do because it serves their own power and ego. That's why someone like Trump is so scary... That dude doesnt care about religion - he just intends to use its power over people to achieve his ambitions. They are their own religion. These people think theyre bigger than god. They all established personality cults in some way shape or form...

These tyrants didn't kill people due to fucking buddhism, catholocism, or marxist ideology or whatever... they killed people because it served their power-goals... Nothing Marx or even Lenin ever said should compel someone to kill all the birds and ignite a giant famine... Nothing they said called for sending everyone to the Gulags and replacing them with people who don't understand how to farm in order to force agricultural collectivization. Nothing in Buddhism says start a war with China and Russia and the USA to expand colonial ambitions. Nothing in Catholocism promotes enslaving or violently coercing people to collect resources for your colonial ambitions.

These are all dictators and tyrants. Regardless of their religion or lackthereof, they were going to do what they did under any system if given the power to do so.

You found a really nice way to cope and deflect from the facts that godless, 20th-century regimes driven by ideology have killed more people in history than anyone else. Funny also how all these leaders you point the finger at realized that religion serves as an opposing and balancing force to the state and so must be destroyed in order to bring about total subjugation of the target populace. It's almost like you could even connect that to what another powerful autocratic state on the up and up today has to think about religion... but maybe that's just me.

The Greek Sacred wars, The late-Roman and Byzantine conquests, The Christian Crusades, the Muslim Caliphates, the Spanish Reconquista and Missions, and the Puritanical Witch hunters all called... theyre asking if they could have some 20th century weapons and population totals so they could kill more heathens...

Organized religion is hardly a balancing force that opposes tyranny as much as it is a cheap tool that can be utilized by tyrants for power... make them all believe that you were chosen by God to be ruler, and you and your family are fucking set.

If you seriously think religion is a balancing force that opposes tyranny, Explain Henry the 8th lol.

Hell, even better... just look at Pope Urban II who started the first crusade... which was a DOUBLE holy war as he found TWO common enemies for him to rally western Christians to fight for, and then pardoned anyone who agreed to fight and promised them a place in heaven - pretty sweet deal at the time...

''Hey, so the Seljuk Turks are making it hard for Christians to go on pilgrimages in the Levant, and the Byzantines aren't seeing me as pope and are therefore kinda like, heathens... lets go help out Byzantium and maybe they'll acknowledge my awesomeness and me pope again for saving their bacon, and while we are at it, why dont we just go ransack the holy land and take back Jersusalem from the Turks!''

Don't understand how the worthless trolls on this site are never banned. They aren't sharing a different perspective they are just saying shit they hear on the media, they have no original thoughts and add nothing to this site.

Despite what is in their gospels, most religions have a base practice of controlling and repressing women. At the beginning of land privatization and wage labor there were tons of violent rebellions against the concept. After those involved were executed, women leaders, often doulas and healers, continued to organize and fight discretely. The witch trials served the double purpose of removing those leaders against wage labor and destroying generational medicinal knowledge including safe effective abortions.

I think the religious justification to end abortions is a facade to secure a cheap domestic labor force to avoid major societal change. Abortions will still be legal in some states meaning people who have the means will get them. Forced births help poor people stay poor and poor people are the lifeblood of the prison industrial complex. Increases in police presence confirm this future and minorities will bear the brunt thanks to historical and systemic inequality.

I get that it sounds a bit conspiracy theory-esque but the people in charge aren't stupid. Anyone can see the data of how comprehensive sex education and access to abortion/contraceptives leads to an overall decrease in abortions. Big picture, the people already in power stand to benefit a lot from this. With lobbying and murky campaign donations I don't see it being that much of a stretch.

Charlie_KellyWhat’s your idea of a big turbo? Also move to a state that doesn’t give a fuck lol.

67mm. It’s nothing to do with the state. Cobb got all their access ports locked. APR discontinued a ton of tunes.

It sounds like many liberal women are now discussing a "sex strike" to protest this. That's kind of what the evangelicals wanted in the first place so good luck with that lol.

Hey bro let me give you a little tip on getting with liberal women since they're going to be refusing to fuck you for the foreseeable future. If you really want to get them going then take them to the gun range to do some shooting. Showing strength with an element of danger really turns them on since they're so used to limp-wristed liberal soy boys. You may want to do some wrist exercises and stop eating soy first though.
