Do you think, that a person who does not believe in the existence of ultimate being called God can be called a Christian, if he lives in a Christian culture?

Let's say you have a farm, and you raise some chickens.

You discover that one of the chickens is infected to the core with a disease. A theoretically curable disease if caught early. But this particular chicken is in late stage of the disease.

Do you still try to cure it, even though keeping it around poses a risk to you and the other chickens; or do you count your losses, kill it and burn the corpse?

Had an interesting conversation with a microbiologist today.

I asked her, if there is any known mechanism of transcribing RNA back into the DNA. She didn't hesitate for a single second. Of course there is.

If @dave had unblocked Neet, I would fucking applaud him for staying on the right side of fedi for so long while disagreeing with everyone at once.

That takes a lot of courage. :ayaya:

@lewdthewides @dave POV: you're a megacorp CEO coming home after making a "happy holidays" announcement instead of saying "merry christmas"
@dave I knew something was missing. This is what conservatives don't get about the culture war. It's not about being right or wrong using facts and logic. It's about being persistently annoying enough to where people get sick of it and tolerate it out of spite. No one is going to start a war over the megacorp not saying Merry Christmas

America has had problems with their elections for some time.

An informed vote is critical for a democracy, and for much too long a lot of people have voted out of complete and utter ignorance.

At least you can argue that this political ignorance is not just an issue for USA, it exists to some proportion everywhere.

But what the FBI and the news media has done these years, is the straw that broke the camel's back. It's no longer an issue of an ignorant vote, it's an issue of a blatantly and purposefully misinformed vote, orchestrated by people who would directly politically profit from the outcome of this directed vote.

You can't ignore this. You can't call the voting process intact and trustworthy after these revelations. What USA has experienced is exactly what was being done all the time in the soviet block. It's what even Putin did with his opponents. Block, censor, arrest those who talk against you, and use the propaganda machine to praise your leadership, even when you drive the country straight into disrepair. That's how you act as an authoritarian.

That's how you destroy democracy.

My GF made me a custom Magic card for Christmas. I create Troll creature tokens (aka you guys).
