    do you agree with charlie kirk, it’s worth having a few (tens of thousand) deaths a year to be able “protect your god given rights”? (makes perfect sense, if you don’t think about it) the onion title is not “funny” imo, it’s upsetting and true, which is kind of a black comedy when you see people genuinely argue for it

  • Belief just means standing for something.

    let’s not pull a jordan peterson and redefine basic words, belief means accepting something as true (critics would argue, without a basis)

    I believe in generosity, self control, avoidance of violence, the proper treatment of women and children, etc etc.

    all good things, none of them require a belief in any god. although the “proper treatment of women” … is that limiting what they are allowed to do or enjoy, maybe that’s not quite good enough. also, do men not deserve “proper treatment”?
