I have. Haven't followed any conspiracy theories, so I had no reason not to. You know, @Led Zeppelin, not vaccinating yourself cause it "only kills the elderly" kinda means you're willing to sacrifice them. After all, you might catch it, and not be overly affected by it, but spread it to someone...

Well let's not forget that most people's memories are tinted by nostalgia. They remember the decades past from the point of view of a carefree child, knowing little of the struggles their parents had in the same period. So take it with a grain of salt if someone tells you a period was great.

No need to exaggerate it in the opposite direction. It's quite advanced. But homophobia and transphobia are "a thing".

You don't read a lot of 9gag comments for example, do you? There are plenty of Europeans on there, and yet the comments always gleefully joke about trans people killing themselves, and calling them mentally ill. And homophobia: remember Russia? Some more examples: (Interesting you didn't...

Racism, homophobia and transphobia still seem to be getting better as time progresses, so times are probably still getting better and better. But these are obvious factors, which we might ignore to make the question a bit easier. Also: no internet, and computers were pretty crappy too. And...

It's amazing that he says "You probably heard this argument" several times and doesn't realize this means it's probably been debunked. Personally, I'd start by sending him the link to Talkorigin's Index to Creationist Claims and asking him to check all his arguments there first, and then only...

I don't get it. What's wishy-washy? Do you want me to fight against God? Do you not like that I'm correcting mistakes on my own side?

Well...I'm kinda pointing it out to the atheists? Cause they care about getting things right, and won't use the example anymore once they know?

AronRa uses the example often, in his videos. https://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/ lists it too. Anyway, saying people using the argument are "misrepresenting" the bible is already too strong.

One example of a biblical error we love bringing up, is that the bible falsely claims that rabbits chew the cud. But actually, this statement isn't as false as we think it is. Rabbits, like guinea pigs, eat their own droppings. The internal stomachs of cows, rabbits etc. are so badly designed...

I kind of assumed this was a thread that makes fun of US gun laws, to show how silly and unsafe the USA is. With the word "awesome" being meant in a sarcastic way. You meant that unironically?

Your quotes are a bit weird. They only reference a single word from Aron's post. That's gonna be hard to follow later. Why not add the complete (relevant part of the) quote?

I think we need to distinguish between what scientists call macroevolution, and what creationists call macroevolution. A creationist's definition will be something like "Microevolution causes the diversity between different kinds of cats, macroevolution is when a common ancestor diverges into...

What, even a birth is already macroevolution? What's microevolution then?

Why is it inaccurate to say "macro is just lots of micro"?

I've seen German-speakers who believe QAnon. One of my Facebook-friends was following a channel that posts(and believes) all sorts of conspiracy theories, and people reply to them and write "That's so horrible! When will this stop?" seemingly in all seriousness. I've also heard of a friend of a...

Well, what Jesus/God is portrayed as in the Bible is of course not the same thing as what he's portrayed as in modern Christianity. In the Bible, God is often not all-knowing, has regrets, acts stupid, etc. In modern depiction, he very much is the omnipotent being that came into being on its own...

Ooh, I like classfication. For types of magic I was gonna say there is also you tapping into a supernatural-but-not-godly power source. But I see you included it under types of magic (9.) Those two lists are pretty similar. How do you classify mana, though? What exactly is it? One thing I...

1. We kind of have no choice, if God is all-powerful. We just have to hope he's a good guy. 2. I'd ask him to explain all the religions, which of them are true, and what his moral laws really are. 3. Probably same as before, as long as he doesn't give specific orders to do otherwise. 4. Yeah...

Sounds good. So how do you vote against someone? Do you give them negative points?
