Wouldn't it be about a million times more cost effective to just put up a sign?

wtf?

Alternate universe.
Infinite parallel universes (multiverse). Try to shoot your grandfather, well you just shot him in a different universe. Paradox avoided.

Spellbinding.
Takes the strategic ability to see many moves ahead like chess, combined with the physical skill to execute it under pressure.

And the only comment so far is about the scientist's bow tie.

Yup, we're doomed.

Well guess what? People don't exist in this world to write a script tailored just for you to understand. I've seen you say this "well they should have wrote it differently" thing before. Ok. Try reading it differently. Sometimes you have to take a breath in and out and read what someone else is saying.

Best advice, don't assume the worst.

Also seems pretty clear to me that he's not advocating women being prevented access to abortions, but instead pointing out the hypocrisy of those who clearly don't believe their own bullshit, because if they did, they'd be storming the building to prevent those "murders".

Don't mean to speak for you @gorillaman, sorry. But that's my take on it.

Maybe it's me, but I think what gorillaman meant about the police is pretty obvious. They would be allowing a murder to take place. They would be defending and protecting the murderers in that scenario. And in so doing they would be complicit in the act of murder.

Understand, for people who have faith, faith is knowing the unknowable.

Example: I know that intelligent life exists on other planets. It is a 100% certainty in my mind. I am so certain of this "fact" in fact, that I think it's ridiculous that there are people who even question it. Yet, there is no actual scientific proof. Nothing published. Nothing discovered. I believe it though. I know it to be true. If someone were to tell me I shouldn't believe or talk about it, I would find it nonsensical and offensive. This is what faith feels like.

There's a difference between passively not believing in God and actively hating people who do.

If someone offers some bullshit as fact, and you know it isn't, welcome to every day on earth (or at least the internet). It doesn't matter if it's religion or not.

For example: (paraphrasing) 'Most people proselytize'.

Most of the (almost 6 Billion) people who believe in God go through their day to day lives without ever even mentioning their beliefs let alone trying to proselytize when they do.

And on that note I will say that proselytizing is not necessarily wrong either. You believe what you believe and they believe what they believe and everyone gets to express themselves (all proselytizing) and everyone can make up their own minds. Now, I'm talking about people expressing themselves, not entities who have an agenda.

Which brings me to my last point. None of this is to suggest that I disagree with Bil Nye. Kids should not be fed bullshit. Adults either. The real problem? It's not "money is the root of all evil". It's "the love of money". Greed is behind the majority of evil.

There are those who desire positions of power and pervert religion into a tool to achieve their own agenda. This is a very old story. And it is these people who "take God's name in vain". But that's just one hammer in their toolbag. Religion is one. Anti-intellectualism another. Manipulation through fear. On and on.

Science is truth but it is not the only "truth" in life. Art exists. Beauty exists. Love exists. There is more. Maybe all of that can be boiled down to some chemical reactions in the brain and sociological pressures, but I believe there is a greater truth.

Sorry for ranting. Don't take any of this personally please!

With the VAST majority of the world's population believing God exists in one form or another, you're asking a whole lot of people to just shut up about it.

Tolerance goes both ways.

I tolerate living in a world where cartoons depicting literally shitting on Jesus is considered a form of entertainment. Maybe other people can tolerate when a person simply relates an experience they had and shares their view without even trying to proselytize.

Did you fall down the stairs and hit your head? Are you OK?

I hope so. Though a concussion is really the only explanation for the nonsense you just wrote. Maybe you should get that checked.

Beautiful.

thanks!

Thanks!
