Ahh the old "without God, a person can have no morals" argument.

Atheists don't require an imaginary sky fairy to guide their morals, nor do they need the 'reward' of a 'spiritual afterlife' to ensure they stick to those morals. It could then be argued that the ONLY reason you have 'morals' is because you fear God in the afterlife and what will happen to you if you don't.

It's that sort of self-righteous arrogance that provokes such responses from people and it is quite obvious that you have very little understanding of what it means to be an Atheist and shouldn't lecture others believing that you do, because that would be lying.

100% this.

And back on topic:



Shame arseholes like Trump are still around whereas Sagan died far too young.

Or as Mark Twain put it (and this is definitely on topic given Trumism):

“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they have been fooled.”

Not a fan of The Hill anymore, but I still take in their content every so often.



Nice to see Joy Gray finally speaking on the demographic voting issues that will have an impact on 2022.

Being a **** as usual.

I gave it 5 mins.

I was waiting for the admission that CNN and co gave billions of free advertisement to the Frankenstein's MSM's Monster that charged up and fed visual and content power to.

Not ONCE have they ever admitted it was their fault they devoted countless hours to Trump whilst denying someone like the good intentions of Sanders, anywhere near the same air space. And they have the nerve to spread the same 'fear factor' into the minds of the viewers they're warning of their own creation.

Wake. The. Fuck. Up. People.

Two special elections taking place today involving candidates with loyalties to "The former guy"

If they win that won't help heal the country.

There's 2 things I really like about this one.

1 is that it doesn't even make any sense. If Luciferase was in the vaccine, it would just get denatured and broken down by your cells. Unless you're a jellyfish or firefly, you aren't producing Luciferin to react with it and start glowing.

2 is that this all comes about because some nerdy French scientist discovered luciferin 150 years ago and came up with a punny name.

Also I don't remember the bit in the bible where all the Christians get bioengineered to glow in the dark and get rounded up.

The New York City Police Union is the worst union in the country and probably the world tbh. Consistent enemies of any sort of progress that doesn't involve ripping off more money from the City.

That was debunked by AP back in April.

I'd like to assume Bigga thinks it's all nonsense, and we've missed some abstruse point that he'd rather blather about than explain. I hope he isn't taking it seriously.

In any case, why did God create an enzyme called Luciferase?

GOP candidates leading both governor races in New Jersey and Virginia by small margins.

CNN in full mourning and fear mongering mode.

Youngkin declares victory.

Bringing Obama and Biden to speak on behalf of McAuliffe was a big mistake.

Both on the nose.

Democrats never learn from their past mistakes.

CNN can't help themselves. They are part of the problem.

Seems Youngkin has developed the blueprint. say enough to get the trumpers on board but dont actually tie yourself to trump or his election lie so the sane can vote your way too.

Be interesting to see if others follow this, and if so, how long trump will keep endorsing them if they dont follow his lie.

Can't argue with that. Cooper, Tapper and King were in full panic mode with Axelrod providing the vote could be a "Delta Trump Variant."
