Hi! :) I registered here a while ago, but haven't posted for quite some time. Just wanted to stop in and say "hi" again; I'll be posting a bit...
The homeowner in this case wasn't defending himself, he took a knee-jerk action that resulted in a child's death. He was likely filled with hate...
The homeowner needlessly killed a child. He ended that kid's life. Yes, what the child did was wrong, but it was not deserving of death. The...
I've been a vegan for about five months, for moral reasons (I believe it's wrong to kill other animals for food). I'm certainly not thin, gaunt,...
Nazis were not atheists. Abortion is not murder.
The title says it all. Young-earth creationists often try to poke holes in evolutionary theory in order to bolster their own beliefs, but the...
I'm not a Christian or Muslim, so I find both gods and holy books equally nonexistent and irrelevant. As a Christian, it is your responsibility to...
How is the Christian example any more valid than the Muslim one?
I would never commit such an act unless it was specifically legalized AND the person, being of sound mind, wished it to happen. Why are you...
No, you haven't. You've set a sophistic trap, but you haven't gotten me in any philosophical sense. This is a fallacious appeal to emotion. The...

It's not murder in that case, but an act of mercy. - - - Updated - - - Please provide evidence for this assertion (keep in mind that you'll...

Both the Paris Commune and the Ukrainian Free Territory were very close to what I described in the OP, and they worked beautifully (until they...
The alpha male tendency would have to be bred out or culturally trained away. It is detrimental to the species.
Why would inserting a god make you less likely to kill him?
It sounds like (within the example!) you're set on murder. Morally, you shouldn't do it, but if you don't care about morality, then I don't see...
Murder is inhuman, cruel, and unkind. You should do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do, nothing more. I'm an atheist,...
I'm very familiar with the double-slit experiment and the measurement problem, and no, it doesn't mean we "aren't real" or that there is no...
This is circular reasoning -- fallacious.
There is no such thing as "Darwinism." The theory of evolution is not an ideology centered around Darwin, but a scientific theory backed up by...
This sounds like Bostrom's simulation hypothesis (which has not been empirically verified) or something like Berkeleyian idealism (for which there...
Dogma is not evidence, neither is faith. Please kindly provide some evidence that your religion is true.
Science knows that consciousness is produced by physical brain activity. This has been confirmed through numerous lab experiments, case studies of...
