i am saying my belief is that they others are free to believe but not free to do whatever they want.

I don’t see the difference. They believe they are obligated to do those things, so they do those things.

There are laws for the things we can do and not do. We have the right (in the free world) to think what we want

Nobody can stop anybody from thinking their thoughts. My point is we should oppose false beliefs before they turn into harmful actions.

Please note that i am making a clear distinction between the freedom inside oneself (opinions, thoughts, beliefs) and acting on them.

What is the difference? They believe that’s how they should act, so that’s how they act.

If i believe my neighbour is an asshole, i am not and should not suddenly allowed to insult him.

Constructive criticism can change behaviors for the better, if everyone is listening to reason. Your neighbor shouldn’t be an asshole, that hurts everybody.

Unfortunately, yes. I agree on the problem.

Thank you. It is why I am a “militant” antitheist. I think that compromising with delusion gets innocent people killed needlessly.

But they believe they should do those things. Beliefs drive our actions. We should correct them every chance we get.

You: “Believe what you want.” Them: “OK, I believe my god wants to me to preach to you.” You: “Stop that.” Them: “No, my god demands it.”

Now what?

And if they believe their (utterly unproven) god wants them to restrict healthcare? Wants them to avoid vaccines? Commit genocide, take slaves, fly planes into buildings?

Innocent people are dying for the selfish beliefs of others.

Christians have this weird and totally unearned persecution complex (2026 suggests it has all been projection all along)

100%. We start with what we can sense. God cannot be sensed. So why assume he exists at all? They’re telling us lies and getting pissy when we try to defend the truth our lives depend on.

Christians persecute others. Others must defend themselves or die. The public narrative is backwards, some beliefs should be dismantled instead of protected.

You start with “everyone’s entitled to their beliefs,” they harm you per their beliefs, and then you want to draw a line? Too late, you already gave them the blank check.

Christianity deserves pushback, not respect. It is a death cult. They don’t respect you, they think you belong to their god. They will be happy when you die, pretending you are rewarded in heaven or punished in hell. There is no such thing as a christ, we are not born with sin, we do not require divine salvation (which comes at the price of complete subjugation).

Can we stop letting them kill us? People should be held accountable for their choices, including the choice to accept and repeat baseless claims. As a species, we need to mature out of superstition before it kills us.

Not too spicy, but they at least acknowledge it.

On 27 July, WMF declined to voluntarily recognize the US union. WMF stated that the union would need to pursue a formal NLRB election procedure. 404 Media viewed the WMF’s 27 July statement as using “very carefully-worded language common among companies and organizations that have fought against unionization”.

Nah, just take one when you get the job. Then never again. For luck. 😉

I was late on my first day for the same reason. 🙃 But I soon realized my mistake and worked with them for a couple of years before moving on to something else.

Yeah. The right is an audience that enjoys shit like Jeff Dunham. Less clever satire, more “HUHUHUH THE RACIST PUPPET SAID A RACIST THING I AGREE WITH UNIRONICALLY”

I asked my boss why the company insisted we show up three times a week. It was basically to justify the cost of putting the buildings there, maybe some kind of tax benefits. She called it “funny money”. I quit my job.

Just god punishing things for being the way he made them… again.

Also, I’m no longer in my underwear.

I was nervous about the phone interview (no video) for my first job, so I took a shower before it started. But I didn’t realize we were in different time zones, so the call came an hour sooner than I expected. I did the interview with a towel wrapped around me. I got the job.

Almost like we have solutions to your problems and could help if you would let us. Almost like we don’t want anyone to be in the situation you are in.

Good luck with that.

Not Fox news, I hope? They are notorious for lying to their audience, they get away with it because they are an entertainment company.

How would you define “politics”? Everything is political, but especially things like healthcare and the economy.

I don’t think Biden was great, but I also think he is often scapegoated for problems that somebody else created.

My concern is that you may have been tricked into voting against your own best interests (and mine).

How do you define “communism”? I am in favor of a universal basic income, which would help in a situation like you are currently facing. But I am wary of using labels, as they mean different things to different people, which is why I’m curious about your definitions.

Where do you get your news?

It is wild how much sympathy I lost reading this comment after the original post. Still, I hope your situation improves, it sounds like torture.

As far as lashing out. I have no issues with the ultra wealthy or police. Neither of those groups have harmed me.

They are the reason things are getting worse for us. They are the reason nothing is affordable, nothing can be owned, healthcare is a scam, etc.

Having lived in the US all my life, I think the public reaction to cattle poison spray would be “well, as long as I can’t taste it in the meat.”

I wish we all had more empathy for the life we share this planet with.

Lack of integrity, inconsistent or non-existent values. They just do whatever works for them at the time. My parents are the same way.

They are falling for the lies.

Republicans lie that they are pro-life, but really they are pro-birth. If the babies don’t grow up christian, they are worthless. They don’t care about all life, they care about life that serves them. They view children as disposable and they simply have more to replace those they’ve lost. It’s unacceptable.

The people they are killing will remain dead.
