    I've heard this stated in a way before: the media and other actors want you to think that these are Left vs Right issues, purely to distract us from realising these are Top vs Bottom issues. If you think about it, much from both the Left and the Right want success, but their masters are more concerned with discord.

    You have to stop measuring strength of Christianity by quantity. There are a ton, and I mean a ton, of people who attend church on sunday and identify as Christians but, if there was to be persecution, would readily deny their faith. This has happened countless time in history, and if anything, has only increased the strength.

    As for the bit about "if people stop believing on their on accord" that is nothing new.

    Christianity is not like a political party, where strength is measured in numbers, but is rather a faith, separate from man, unkillable. Nothing can eradicate faith.

    wtf is this monkey thinking that violence is gonna solve bullying. Depending on how the fight goes, either the bully is gonna exert his dominance and completely own the victim after, or the victim will be able to hold his ground or win and the bully will have to stop. How is violence gonna solve the problem if a victim gets completely bodied. This is monkey thinking at its finest. The point that establishing limits is reasonable, but violence isn't the only way to set limits.

  5. Bullies do what they do because no one fights back. Yeah okay, try making friends with the bully or crying to your parents to save you. See what happens. That "monkey" is probably smarter than you are.

  6. It's always the "betas" in the human dominance hierarchy that make the assumption that if a guy is big, strong, or athletic in some way, he must be stupid. Anything to take them down a notch to protect their insecurities.
     
  7. How will it naturally lead to more suffering? I want specifics.
    Atheism is just a position or opinion on a question... It has nothing to do with whether or not human life is meaningful or not, so it's wrong of you to conflate atheism and the dignity of human life since they have nothing to do with each other. Also there's an ideology that atheists created known as secular humanism which regards human life in the highest esteem, so many atheists do view human life with dignity.

    If atheists also reject the cultural boundaries of moral authority toward liberty, which used to be protected by theology, yes.

    I mostly agree.

    If atheists reject traditional boundaries of personal liberty, to the point that the "guarantee of welfare and good experience" outweighs the free expression not to support social programs the individual disagrees with, then you will have a system in which free expression is considered "divisive," and free association can be seen as serving a counterproductive force against socialism or imperialism. It is totalitarianism by egalitarianism.

    And when atheists are asked about abortion? They knee-jerk to every theory that can potentially support "freedom of choice," because they must deflect all critiques of atomized individualism so to protect an egalitarian view of society that proritizes experience above existence.

    ...Is this where you tell me you have a great time share in Malibu?

    ...Or is this another socialism/corporatism/syndicalism idealization?

    Standing up to bullies is the right thing to do, but to say that violence is the only way and the best way to solve bullying is just asinine. Fighting with fists is one way to solve bullying, but not the only way and that's why what he says is stupid af. That's like saying if a kid was calling another kid names like "idiot, stupid, retard" the best way to react is to go and punch him in the face. To teach kids that violence is the first and best answer to problems. Yeah that's monkey thinking at it's finest. I'm not saying violence can't solve some problems, but it should be the last resort not the first.
     
  13. Jesus man. Have you even seen the commercial? He's not talking about calling people names. The kids in that scene were chasing that kid and physically assaulting him. The dad came along and broke it up. This guy is a strong man. Making fun of people is not bullying to him. Can you imagine the 300 spartans getting upset because the persians were calling them names? He's not a monkey, you're just overly-sensitive and got triggered by what you saw.

    WTF is that example about spartans. If that is your example of bullying I get why you think this guy isn't a monkey. How is one kid fighting a group of bullies gonna solve anything? At best he's gonna get a few hits before they fuck him up. Yeah that's really gonna solve the problem. You're just triggered I called him a monkey.
     
  15. LOL...He's getting beat up anyway. At least this way he's fighting back. That dad just ensured a future for him getting triggered by other people's opinions on the internet...

    Lol so it doesn't solve the bullying problem, but at least he's fighting back. Wait didn't the monkey in the video say violence would always solve bullying. Isn't that what we're debating. Whether violence will stop bullying in that instance. You're so triggered you forgot.

  17. LOL....On the contrary, this is giving me a really good laugh! It will solve it. If more men become good, strong men, we can stand up to the bullies. It wouldn't if you did it, though, because you refuse to become a strong, good man.

    So because I pointed out what he said was wrong, I can't be a strong, good man. LOL Nice jump in logic. Nice talk boy
     
  19. If you look back, you'll see that I said that that kid was gonna become someone who gets triggered by people on the internet because he wasn't taught to be strong. Who could I have possibly been talking about? Maybe if you weren't so blinded by your ego, you would see? You probably think you're a nice guy. Have you run nofap on hard mode? I found it extremely helpful in dealing with my snowflake tendencies. Maybe you would too?
     
  20. Did you ever play that game "telephone" as a kid? That's what it reminds me of lol.
