Why do you persist in posting examples of stuff most people find abhorrent? Stuff that most people are NOT VERY INCLINED to approve of.

I'm confused. Are you or are you not sufficiently trained to tell people they are wrong? Oh, well in that case Im as qualified as you to talk about the topic of PAS. If this is an argument about bodily autonomy, a person doesnt need a reason to end their life. And it's allegedly their...

I question whether they would still want to die if they had access to sufficient pain relief. Why would anyone care about the supposed stigma? You can't make everyone approve of your personal end-of-life choices so why care if they think there's a stigma? Expecting affirmations all round and...

@Spacetime Inhabitant Are you saying this thread isn't visible to you? https://iidb.org/threads/humans-are-very-inclined-towards-mistakes-delusions-lies-self-harm-ignorance-stupidity.28256/

I didnt claim that. I said "There's compassionate ways to alleviate pain that don't involve fast-tracking a person's death." Feel free to compare humans to animals if you must. As for me, I don't think taking the life of a human is on par with taking the life of an animal.

Oh look! There's Mt Everest

Insofar as you brought up incest, we were talking about incest. But it's OK. Society is finally becoming woke enough that we don't single out minorities. Love is love. Love wins. If two brothers want to call themselves married...

Surely she wasn't saying abortion is THE cause of breastfeeding cancer. There's lots of other suspected causes.

Democracy. What a bummer, hey? If that's true, it explains a lot about folks who "really wish religion would die off".

Personal incredulity isnt an argument. I realize youre just expressing a sentiment but it doesnt exactly persuade a person who does think the story 'makes sense'. Not even if God did a miracle? ...leaving aside the fact that the text doesnt say rain alone flooded the earth. ...leaving aside...

That would mean their decision was smart - not stupid. This is contrary to the claim they are stupid. TomC uses examples of behaviour which most people think is stupid, evil, deluded, mistaken etc etc. This is kicking the ball towards my end of the soccer field. TomC should find examples of...

⏫️ Here's the response you didn't read. ⏫️ Take a few minutes to think about how disingenuous it is to ask someone, (whose posts you don't read because you think their answers are bullshit, weaseling, equivocation,) to repeat their answer to you..

Noahs sons had wives. Those sons procreated with their wives. Pretty basic stuff. I'm sure the bible would have mentioned it if this had occurred. *rolls eyes* The one thing we can be pretty sure of is that everyone on the Ark was heterosexual. You seem to have it the wrong way around...

The Talk Rational Stopper?

Building cathedrals and temples is NOT the goal of religions. Terrestrial politics, racial division, mammon worship, power, greed, 'othering' is not the wheelhouse of religion. The largest religion in the world teaches the exact opposite of such. I knew eventually someone would show their...

Most people, most of the time? Would you say "very inclined" to avoid doing so? Would you say that supports the idea that humans basically want to avoid mistakes, delusions, lies, self-harm, ignorance, stupidity... Would you say we're inclined to do so? This thread seems to be an opinion...

Do you want to stop living because sometime in the next million years there MIGHT be an asteroid which MIGHT be big enough to MAYBE wipe out an unknown percentage of life on Earth? The Tunguska object/asteroid impact event happened in 1908. We're still here.

He has the ability to know. I dont think God is confined to being inside or outside (what we call) time. I don't think God needs to choose one way or the other. He already knows, in a universal way, the causes and implications of pain/pleasure. And since He knows that everything in the long...

Of course it is. The question is about our response. There's compassionate ways to alleviate pain that don't involve fast-tracking a person's death. (Or making a person think that's the best outcome for all concerned ) Elderly, vulnerable terminally ill people should not have to have their...
