  Not.

  An atheist who believes in god is like a vegan who regularly and knowingly eats bacon, they are using the wrong labels. Those both have narrow and clear definitions, unlike religion where there are a ton of things that vary between local practices and traditions that can be used to say that they aren't really X religion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  What you are doing is saying they are not really Christians because they do or don't do X and that is exactly what the fallacy is.

  Are priests who molest children not real Christians?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Also Jews refused to become Christians and Christianity wants to convert people.

  The most entertaining part for me is that Jesus was a Jew, so Christians hating Jews as a group means they hate Jesus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  If we can examine and understand the 'supernatural' then it just becomes knowledge and natural, or at least our perspective of it does.

  The easiest example is natural phenomenon like flooding, volcanoes, storms, fire, and tons of other things were or are seen as supernatural and had beliefs and religions built around them. Some were considered supernatural, or to have supernatural causes.

  Did our understanding of them make them not supernatural or were they natural the entire time and we just didn't understand them yet?

  'Supernatural' is not a real thing. It is human speculation about why and how natural things happen. There are no gods as described by any belief system, just things we don't know or understand yet.

  Oh look, you had AI vomit out your incorrect position for you.

  The "no true scotsman" fallacy is about changing your argument into a non-falsifiable tautology.

  That is what you do when you say "They aren't real Christians because they do X." It is the poster child of the no true Scotsman fallacy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jesus hates American "Christians"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Person B is an idiot who doesn't understand words because atheist is

  To be a Christian someone just needs to identify as a Christian. They don't actually have to do anything specific with that self identification that aligns with the Bible or any particular denomination's practices. That is because belief and faith and religion have a massive spectrum of beliefs and practices wrapped up into one. A large number of people who attend religious ceremonies don't even believe in the deities or take things literally, they are there for the community.

  I want people available for assistance, sure, because automation needs a backup. But needing staff for a human connection is offloading their need to socialize onto staff.

  I would expect the cooking process to sweeten up the kiwi, but that is just a guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grab your pitchforks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I've had a hamburger pizza that had hamburger, onions, pickles cooked on and then lettuce added after kind of like a taco pizza. The pickles worked well as part of the whole package, but would probably be overwhelming as a single topping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grab your pitchforks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I will absolutely judge anything before I try it. A best guess before trying is perfectly fine as long as it is updated after trying.

  My experience with trying brussel sprouts as a kid was that they were terrible, just mushy and bland. As an adult I had roasted and properly seasoned brussel sprouts that were fantastic. It is important to be able to judge before, after, and revise based on new knowledge!

  In this case I have had sweet fruit on pizza and my judgement is that I would probably like kiwi fresh, but not as leftovers.

  The vast, vast majority of votes are up votes already and instances can disable down votes. Why discourage down votes on instances that use them?

  This seems like a solution in search of a problem.

  Is that the reason? I just prefer not to wear light colors that get visibly dirty so easily.

  They cared more about their money and orgies and pedophelia than they did at maintaining the cogs of Empire of which their lifestyle depended.

  Well, the US was greatly inspired by Rome ao why not follow the fall?

  Nope. The oxygen ratio in the atmosphere varied and included long periods with comparable levels as today.

  The most important part was their biology, that helped move the oxygen around the bodies of the massive giants. Remember that while there were massive giants, the blue whale is the largest animal ever known and they live today alongside dolphins and otters just like how dinosaurs came in a wide variety of sizes all living at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do boycotts work?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Like any kind of protest or political action they work often enough to get push back from those in power but are not a guarantee. Their scope also needs to be proportional to what they are boycotting, so the larger the company or political power the more coordination and number of people it takes to get results.

  Last year there was a boycott of Sabra, which makes hummus, that successfully changed the ownership from half Pepsi Co and an Israeli company to get the Israeli company to divest. It had a clear goal and a single type of product that was easy for people to understand and get behind the boycott. If someone wanted to boycott Pepsi Co, which not only makes soda but also owns a ton of restaurants and other things, it would be extremely difficult as they could weather the losses in one area due to the scope of the company as a whole.

  The Montgomery bus boycott during the US Civil Rights era was extremely successful.

  He chose to not listen to medical advice for cancer and instead dragged things out with 'alternative medicine' long enough that real medical treatment wouldn't be successful anymore but still pulled strings to get a transplant.

  He was nuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When referring to diseases, yeah, but there was also a lot of death from wars and other violence, severe injuries from dangerous labor, and labor was pretty risky. If one was healthy and avoided injury they were certainly on par with modern life spans.
