  1. In the pantheist worldview (many gods), the presence of evil can be explained, but at the cost of making evil an eternal principle that’s just as strong as good. There can be no final victory of good over evil; they simply coexist in constant conflict & balance each other out. But if evil is just as necessary as good, then is evil really evil or is it just different? There’s no moral standard or judge who is superior to the conflict & who can decide whether something is truly good or evil. In the Star Wars saga, the thought comes up at various points (especially in Episode III: Revenge of the Sith) that good & evil are only points of view; what’s “good” according to the Jedi is “bad” according to the Sith & vice-versa. There’s no final authority outside of one’s own opinion for deciding what’s good & evil. This is relativism. It is the belief that truth and right and wrong can only be judged in relation to other things and that nothing can be true or right in all situations. Marxism, then, from the atheism (deism) worldview, is in conflict with the pantheist worldview of moral relativism. Marx would have argued there is a way, and must be a way, to judge right and wrong in order for the society to move forward. As such, there must be a judge. That judge, for Marx, was government to run the economy.
  2. The extreme form of deism (a god that just shrugs his shoulders at the world and allows it to run on natural laws and doesn't get involved in its affairs) is secular atheism, where God is pushed so far from our thinking that we don't believe He exists at all. The advantage is we aren't accountable to a higher being and free from God's authority. But, it leaves us as nothing more than a cosmic accident in a world that cares nothing about us and won't miss us. In the USA, atheism isn't popular. But, as mentioned by the op, atheism has been extremely influential in geopolitics over the past century. Marx taught that all of reality is the evolution of matter. All human history is shaped by the evolution of economic systems. In the modern period, this evolution has resulted in various problems. People try to solve these problems through religion, which (Marx says) tells people to endure the economic problems of the present in exchange for the hope of a perfect world in the afterlife. Marx says this is a false solution, not only because God doesn’t really exist, but also because religion acts like a sedative drug, tranquilizing people so that they don’t try to make the present world better. Marx said the true solution is for the poor and oppressed to take up arms and revolt against their oppressors in order to bring in the next stage of evolution, which is a perfect Communist society in which all private property is abolished and everyone works for the good of others. Marx’s ideas were put into practice throughout the 20th century, resulting in a massive loss of life (because any action that promoted Communism was considered justified, no matter how violent). Source of “cost”: The Black Book of Communism. 25 mil died in USSR; 65 mil in China; 1.7 mil in Cambodia; etc. Revolutions inspired by Marx led to the establishment of Communist governments across the globe in the 20th century. By the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, however, many of these governments, especially in Eastern Europe, collapsed. Marx’s philosophy proved to be unlivable in practice. In modified form, however, Marx’s philosophy lives on in East Asia, most notably in China and North Korea.

    Coronavirus - Doomsday

    No, you didn't note dosage. You should publicly apologize for lying. It says the proprietary ingredient in the duramet product is classified as a carcinogen. That isn't about ivermectin. Geezus dude. WHO says vegetables contain over 100 carcinogens. Cut the stupid s**t. You're part of the disinformation.

    Need a link for this that doesn't speak of dosage. Yes, the vet dosage is for a 1250 pound horse. That makes for 6 doses for a 200 pound human (for $12...that's $2 a dose). The ivermectin ingredient is the same in both. If it was a different ingredient, it would be labelled as such.
  5. She colluded with deeohjay. Shocker. As did Smith and the old dude who posted his dik pick on the internet. Get your s&+t together.

    Plenty of info out there for those wanting to learn. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7536980/ Why did you allude to a "human" ivermectin? Are there patents for different versions? (that's rhetoric, of course. ivermectin is ivermectin.)

    Coronavirus - Doomsday

    Yeah, that's why. "with 445 confirmed cases of VITT, 81 of these fatal in the UK alone." It's time you don the hat of tin foil and use your superpowers to help rid the planet of these bioweapons.
  9. Killer (previous offender of reckless neglect) receives commendation.
  10. Right? TDS keeps people like the dozer from making cogent replies. Plus, he is you. There can't be more than one of you on this bored with all these stupid democrat replies.
  11. This is called a "poisoning the well" fallacy.
  12. Well, except for the part where it was the capital officer that murdered her.
  13. This has to be one person with 30 personalities on the bored. There aren't this many tards walking amongst us.
  14. You're a lost soul. Best you vote for Joe again.
  15. Dems already have their summer riot plan moving along with the protests by the jew haters. Oddly, both the terrorist sympathizers and Jewish people vote Democrat.
  16. Remember when the Lincoln Project founder was outed for soliciting gay sex from the men working at the Project?

    So, we're going to Manhattan this weekend...

    Ride the train for a Nathan's Famous Ride the train for cherry juice in Brighton. Buy a fake Rolex off a street seller so you can say you did. See if you can get one under $100. Canal street for a fake D&G purse. Wall Street is nice on a weekend. Nobody else there. You should see the garment district, but probably pretty quiet on a weekend. Times Square at 2am is still busy.

    Your favorite sport to watch?

    I enjoy the saddle bronc part of rodeo. I would add horse racing, too. The big races are fun, but the horse racing channel on tv is steady entertainment.
  20. Just another tard on our bored.
  21. It's the end of the semester. All that is left is finals. Clearly, if these people were real students, there is no time to stand around and protest other students who are also studying. What do Jewish teenagers in America have to do with what the IDF is, or isn't, doing? Further, what do pro-hamas-terrorist students have to do with what is happening with terrorism in Israel? These people aren't students. All of America is tired of these people.
  22. " He did not call for a specific course of action, such as repealing or watering down the law. He did say that “ideally” abortion restrictions should include exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother." Of the options available, for whom, exactly, precisely, do you believe conservatives should vote (name the person)?
