So much rant about indoctrinating and religions, Does those people also accept that indoctrinating may be used with atheism as in religions? What are your thoughts?

1 response

Latrivia Yes, children can be indoctrinated with atheist ideas as well as religious ones.

Man is a moral being and has long attempted to devise codes to define what is right and what is wrong. Can man ever arrive at what is truly right, and what is always wrong? Or is it all relative to each individual's choice....

Latrivia Is man a moral being? I would say man is an animal attempting to maintain some level of order, thus "morality" - a concept of behavioral rules and regulations to influence how man interacts with itself and the rest of the world. Moral absolutes aren't...

What role should humor play in a serious discussion of politics? A recent posting on one of my discussions got me thinking about the role of humor in our postings. 2 years ago I posted that the US should withdraw our ambassador...

Latrivia My thoughts? I'd be willing to export our Texas heat to Canada in exchange for an arctic import from them. Frankly I've become so disillusioned with our political system that I can't see it as anything else but one big joke. I think for those with a...

Members of the tea party and fringe right often don't know what they are talking about, but publicly fancy themselves libertarians. Do you think that discredits real libertarians?

Latrivia When libertarians and the Tea Party come up in a discussion, they're generally addressed as two separate entities. This would imply that the Tea Party is considered different from Libertarianism, so it likely has no effect on the libertarian movement.

Latrivia I never did look into the background of Al Awlaki's sons, so I don't know what excuse they used to justify their deaths. I do, however, know the reasons why Awlaki himself was targeted (despite what Feinstein says). I still don't agree with it, because he was...

Latrivia Yep, I called it. I hate being right. There's no need to paint a hypothetical picture for me. I was against it when they used it on al-Awlaki. I also knew they'd find a way to justify it so they could keep killing Americans. Drones should be used for air...

Latrivia I know what a recess is, and I understand why his move was ruled against. My comment is only meant to correct the poster's misunderstanding of the law.

Latrivia Admittedly though, those small folded guns aren't quite easy to detect, which is what makes them so dangerous. They're so obscurely shaped that you can't even tell what it is unless the owner tells you. Sneaky. Now the ones you REALLY have to watch out...

Latrivia We used to bring guns to school all the time. Everyone had them, but the jocks had the biggest ones since they used them more. They were pretty dangerous assault weapons, too. No one ever complained, though. I guess it was because we had the right to bare...

Latrivia The President is legally allowed to appoint ambassadors, consuls, judges, and officers of the United States. He's only allowed to do it, however, with the consent of the senate. For reference: U.S. Constitution, Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2

Latrivia Well beyond the spiritual differences, if you had kissed that cross you'd be kissing every other person that cross had been with. Gross and unhygienic, dude. You made the right choice.

Latrivia From a creationist perspective, God made you that way. That, along with several other physiological imperfections the human body innately has. There are reasons for it, or so the argument goes. The interesting part is always how a creationist reconciles...

I'm having a hard time understanding why some people can't admit evolution exist. Is there anyone that can make a logical argument for creationism? We have seen with our own eyes that certain species of animals can and do evolve,...

Latrivia I would blame human exceptionalism, lack of understanding, and a worldview bias for the rejection of evolution. People don't accept it's true because they don't want to accept it, not because it's unbelievable.
