Religion is regarded by the common man as true, by the wise man as false, and by the powerful man as useful
Yeah, if the pagans are so smart, why did Jesus invade Pagan-land on the back of a dragon and kill them all!
Life for the sake of life means nothing.
The other day I fried up some bacon, then grilled burgers in the bacon juices, then put the bacon on top of the burgers.
I'll stop eating beef lamb and pork the same day they start letting me eat vegetarians.
It looks like I'll be moving out to Colorado Springs, CO by the end of the year. So wild caught hippie might be doable.
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
When Moana is released on November 23, 2016, the title character will be the first Disney princess of Polynesian descent. However, the look of the heroine’s sidekick, the demigod Maui, is creating a firestorm of criticism months before the film’s release.According to New Zealand politician Jenny Salesa, the body shape of Maui is cause for concern. “When we look at photos of Polynesian men and women from the last 100-200 years, most of our people were not overweight and this negative stereotype of Maui is just not acceptable,” she writes on Facebook. “No thanks to Disney.”Salesa calls Maui’s depiction “obese,” and thinks children might get the wrong message about their bodies. “The environment our kids grow up in and what they are exposed to have a role to play. Disney movies are very influential on our children. It is great that Moana is the lead. However, it is disappointing that Maui, one of our beloved historical ancestors from hundreds of years ago, who was a very strong man [and] a skilled navigator, is depicted to be so overweight in this kids’ movie.”
QuoteWhat do you think about safe, consensual BDSM? Where both parties have receive sexual pleasure from the acts being preformed. Not talking about rape BDSM, just like slapping and handcuffs and stuff. BDSM romanticizes physical abuse and power imbalances within relationships to a dangerous point. Regardless of whether it is consensual or not, it is still harmful.To borrow from bbrightstar:“The WORST part is women buy into this shit and don’t think 50 Shades represents the fundamental roles *that BDSM is built upon* which are utilized to indoctrinate women into the oppressed class on a global scale. This is the reality for females regardless of whether or not they “consent”. You cannot have “equality” let alone liberation when you celebrate toxic systems of masculinity and femininity, powerful and powerless, rapist and raped, abuser and abused, dominance and submission, masochism and sadomasochism, oppressor and oppressed. ”
