...I'm not really sure you understood my point.

Is that even remotely possible? They put more funding into their military than any other country, and prioritise it over everything else in the country. It's the United Fucking States. They don't need help.

I don't really know very much about the Afghanistan war, but from what I can tell it has been ineffective and unnecessary. We shouldn't have gone there in the first place and it's about time we withdraw our massive global first-world dick out of the affairs of other countries. Having said that...

Agreed.

Wait, what? A "non-theistic" God? A God is, by definition, theistic. The definition of "theist" is one who believes in a God, or Gods. I think you might mean a "non-dogmatic God", which I would interpret as being the notion of a general higher power. Correct me if I am wrong. I was not trying...

I have stated in an earlier post my reasoning for this (quoted below). The Bible was written by men, and it is the only "evidence" supplied for the existence of God. But as I said, it is not evidence. "In order to prove the existence of God, one cannot cite the Bible as a reference. The Bible...

Absolutely not. Statements like this are what keep religion alive. This is what gives it the weight it doesn't deserve. "God" is a man made concept. Given that, it is infinitely unlikely that "God" is the correct answer to the problems and uncertainties of the world. If we take the supernatural...

1: Why? Complex things don't need to be created by an intelligent entity. Science has explanations for this. 2: Science doesn't fail to explain. Science is yet to explain. Science is constantly investigating and researching for an answer, instead of dismissing it with a cop-out "God did it"...

Tim Minchin on theories:

It doesn't matter. You take your morals from an archaic work of fiction, and treat the stories as fact or gospel. You label everything as plain right or wrong, and thinking no further. You allow institutions and theology to think for you, eliminating the need to think for yourself and raising a...

Sure, why not

No.

I think Pauline Hanson will take us down the road of nationalism and blind patriotism, and I think that is a dangerous road. I looked up on the One Nation policies a while back and I remember thinking how much it relied on those schools of thought. I don't believe "Australia First" is a...

Yes, it's true. It may not be deliberate, but over generations Christian values have been influencing the way our society conducts itself. It's more implicit in Australia, but it's there.

Well, no, actually, God only exists in the minds of the people who believe it.

Haha

Lol okay, fair point. I don't like their personalities from what I can tell. Most of them tend to just regurgitate the same shit like every other politician. Predictable, disposable and worthless. I suppose I shouldn't really expect much better, but whatever.

People lie all the time. Always be cynical.

Is there a limit to how many immigrants we can have? At what point do we have "too many", and why do you get to decide the arbitrary limit? Any why is it a problem anyway? I still don't get that. Sure. But should we be saying that "asian people must have X amount of non-asian friends" or...

I think he was the only really likeable Green. I support most of the Greens policies but the people suck.
