I find sex distasteful because I find humans disgusting.   Maybe tomorrow will be different.   Sigh.

Pleading is a fool's game. The democrat party knows it. They created their monsters: BLM, SJW, etc, etc... It is their problem if their creatures bite the hand of their master... Already happening with bernie, now with Apple, etc, etc.. You can't control them.

Popcorn time if this happens... For me anyway

I think it is less pleading, more warning them what will happen...

If Bernie wins the popular vote by more than 5%, they can't give it to Hillary without throwing the election to Trump and destroying the entire democratic party... that's just how it is

If it is a close race, and Bernie is only up by like 3%, they can throw it to Hillary without too many butthurts


Could you imagine the republican party if Trump won the popular vote by 10% and the party nominated Marco Roboto?

They can't run Bernie because he's a Jew and the blacks won't vote for him. They may have to make the superdelegates bail her out. Republicans don't have many superdelegates and can't do things like that.

Since when don't blacks like Jews?

I just mention the fact that we have that whole slavery and attempted genocide in common... then we have a beer or smoke a blunt

Besides... Bernie has been fighting for black rights for over 50 years... he's always supported blacks... when he was in college, Bernie got arrested while standing up for black rights! (in 1963!)

It's all good brother

Wasting $ on Bernie?...

According to the latest national poll, Bernie is up by 6 points brah

Bernie is a lot cheaper than Hillary... he's up by 6 points using 1/10th of the money!


http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/22/us/politics/delegate-count-leaving-bernie-sanders-with-steep-climb.html

Do you have any idea what would happen to the democratic party if the popular vote was 55% Bernie and 45% Hillary, but the superdelegates pushed Hillary as the nominee anyway?

The democratic party would split in 2...  Hillary would lose, Trump would be president... there would be no democratic party in 4 years

I wouldn't be surprised to see riots over something like that


I already saw a petition about just such an occasion... pleading to the superdelegates to not do this... it got the 150k signatures in around 30 hours

As an atheist living in South-east Asia, I have never faced any discrimination from anyone. In my opinion, Buddhists, Hindus, Taoists.etc are more tolerant about atheism, when compared to the Christians and Muslims. In the United States and the Middle East, you may face discrimination for being an atheist. But in South-east Asia and East Asia, there is no such thing.

The Middle East is much worse than America... they openly talk about murdering Atheists, and many of them feel it is their duty as a Muslim...

Though, that may only be Apostates, a person who used to be Muslim... if you were never a Muslim, you might be ok (don't quote me on that)

Manny never made that second statement. The writer admitted he added that. ESPN made an official statement saying the author admitted he added that, So boys and girls don't believe everything you read.

Some pro-LGBT retard lied about Manny in ESPN, and we are having a 10-page thread bashing him in the Bitcointalk forum. The people who called him all sort of names should be ashamed. These pro-LGBT guys are really shameless. They can stoop to any lows, to demonize and insult someone who doesn't agree with their views.

All of his statements were shitty, not just the second one...

Do you have a source for the claim that anyone lied about Manny?  I can't seem to confirm this via google... it looks like Manny said all that homophobic bullshit to me

Would you like to see the video?

For this part, you could convert EasyBitcoin from php to javascript... it's only a few lines of code (mostly declaring variables, etc)... just change the curl to $.ajax

...

I am what I am. But if someone can prove to me that there is a god, I'll become a believer. And if someone can prove to me that invisible pink unicorns exist, I'll believe in them too.

Instead of looking proof consider asking yourself a question.

Are you willing to embrace a worldview you cannot empirically prove i.e. requires faith if you can prove that adopting such a worldview improves both your wellbeing and fertility and likely the wellbeing of your children and grandchildren as well?

What is the point believing in anything without proof?  That just makes a person look foolish... particularly when they claim to know it as fact, and they can't prove shit...

Why would I waste 1 second on religion?

Don't give me Pascal's Wager, because it's a bullshit argument... basically a fallacy... you could say the exact same thing about Hinduism, or Islam... what if they are right, and Christianity is wrong?  What if the great Ju-Ju of the mountain is the real God? I can't possibly follow the thousands of different religious beliefs, hoping one of them is true...

Why waste time on speculation without a shred of evidence?

Just because studies are available doesn't mean you should use them. You're making a very strong statement that requires equally strong proof. Lots of anecdotal evidence != strong proof.

If I was to write "Religion is poison" I can guarantee you my arguments would be watertight, and the only studies I would use to support my argument would be published and peer reviewed research with a valid methodology and adequate statistical analysis.

What I have shown is that there are are studies that show a correlation between atheism and reduced wellbeing and fertility.

I have seen several studies that show Atheists have higher well-being, quality of life, etc...

This type if thinking represents the misguided and horrific idea that embracing evil will lead to good.

BADecker I do not know if you are a misguided zealot or a clever atheist promoting his true beliefs by deliberately peddling falsehood.

Religious. I cannot believe that someone could be so keen as to keep up this sort of charade for so long. Only some very motivated person could keep posting the way he does. Also, BADecker's views are actually pretty tame compared to another forumite BitNow, who actually promotes murder of atheists as a a net positive and not a sin.

In the end it does not matter. In the 2+ years I have followed this forum I have seen many bad posts. However, prior to you my ignore list was empty. Congratulations you now have this space entirely to your yourself.

I wouldn't. You're missing out on a bunch of fun. You just can't take him too seriously, is all.

I dunno... it really is a waste of time even reading BADecker comments, much less responding to them...

I imagine those hours are better spent elsewhere
2078  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Anti-Atheist Bigotry: Atheists Are As Distrusted As Rapists on: February 25, 2016, 02:00:51 AM
Interesting. I wonder if that's typical of religious people?

If it is, it means that a proportion of the people attracted to religions are those that have no moral compass and need one supplied by a religion in order to fit in with society. Not all religious people, of course, just those that give religion a bad name (ISIS raping captives, Christians killing non-Christians, etc)

It always amazes me how many Christians say something to the effect of, "If I knew for certain that God didn't exist, nothing would stop me from becoming a rapist and murderer"

It blows my mind how close murder some religious people claim to be...

I always refer to Penn Jillette who says, "As an Atheist, I have raped and murdered exactly the number of people that I want to rape and murder... that number is zero"

Actually, that is man's interpretation of the data. People forget (intentionally) that there is no way to take into account natural C-14 activity in the past, because nobody was there measuring the C-14 data as it happened. In addition, because of the carbon dating that has been proven to be false, the best that carbon dating might be is a better interpretation of things that we know the near date of through other methods.

In other words, carbon dating is all guesswork regarding the dates that are being interpreted from the results evidence.

It's not guess work! It's statistics! And that's why we do the experiments few dozens of times and we take into account a margin error! But you'd want us to be wrong about millions of years wrong? nonsense!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiocarbon_dating#Errors_and_reliability

Sounds quite reliable to me... the example they use to show the possibility of error using only 1 standard deviation, is still only off by like 5% at most... still super accurate

Quote
This was demonstrated in 1970 by an experiment run by the British Museum radiocarbon laboratory, in which weekly measurements were taken on the same sample for six months. The results varied widely (though consistently with a normal distribution of errors in the measurements), and included multiple date ranges (of 1σ confidence) that did not overlap with each other. The extreme measurements included one with a maximum age of under 4,400 years, and another with a minimum age of more than 4,500 years

Problem is not even accuracy!
No matter the accuracy, when you get ONLY results between 5 millions years old and 4 999 500 years old, it's hard to believe that the real result would be 3000...

BADecker thinks God put less Carbon-14 in older objects... just to trick us into thinking he doesn't exist... if that makes sense?
(makes no sense to me... why would God hide any/all evidence of creation?)

Takes someone who doesn't even consider that God might exist, especially in the face of all the cause and effect we see, without anything other than cause and effect being known, to ask why God would do things, when he wouldn't understand the answer if it walked right up and scratched him in the eyeball.


Are you just here to troll and be a douche?

Really poor representative of Christianity

Of course I have considered whether or not God exists... I spent 30 fucking years researching the subject!  How about you ya little shit?

Yes, I am just here to act like I'm 12, and makes all Christians look stupid

That's what I thought
