Dawkins on Morality

peggedbea says...

the rising and setting of the sun isn't accepted on faith, it's accepted on the fact there are eons of precedence for such an event and we do, indeed, know for a fact how the mechanism works. maybe you mean "we dont know for a fact that the earth won't stop dead in it tracks tonight and never rotate again" and so you assign "faith" to that. i dont have "faith" that the solar system is going to continue as normal tomorrow like someone might have faith that a god is listening to their prayers. i have "faith" that the solar system is going to continue as normal tomorrow like i have "faith" that when i let go of the pen in my hand, it's going to fall to floor.

In what sense is an atheist spiritual? I must also point out that people have faith in a lot of things. Lacking absolute knowledge, and the ability to completely predict the future, you must step outside the bounds of your understanding and make predictions about reality based on limited information. Although there is no proof that the sun will rise tomorrow, you accept it on faith that it will. Just as to say there is no God is a leap of faith. Only an omniscient being could make such a claim.

Karl Rove feuds with Sarah Palin -- she's "weird"

peggedbea says...

despite the relatively high density of evil scumbags who populate it, dallas has a really really beautiful skyline. also, if karl were actually standing where the backdrop makes it appear that he is standing, he'd've (texan for "he would have") been standing on top of a pretty depressed ghetto, parts of which totally resemble a 3rd world country.


also, many years ago i took a texas government class at a community college. most of the videos we had to watch stared a young karl rove lecturing, of all things, on ethics....... bwwahahahahhahaha.

thanks! that looks awesome. i like the part where she said you have to step outside of the scene and the culture, it's not punk to only surround yourself with people who share your interest/pov. i think that's a lot of what happens to punk kids as they age. the "scene" gets boring. even when i go to shows now (not often), after 15 years... it's still the same conversations, in the same clothes, the same haircuts, the same message over and over and over again. and while i think that consistency is really cool in some ways, how boring to be 30 and never evolve. wheeeeee

TDS: World of Class Warfare - The Poor's Free Ride Is Over

peggedbea says...

the cost of food isn't high enough yet. historically, people are generally complacent with letting the ruling class do whatever as long as they can afford food and expect a reasonably brighter future. i wonder if part of the reason we subsidize agriculture is to keep food prices artificially low longer to avoid social unrest. and then there's fast food. which consistently remains cheap. my paranoid brain is starting to formulate fast food as social control conspiracies. also, google holodomor. and think about monsanto.

i think we've all given up on the "brighter future" part... and food prices keep fluctuating.. it's coming though, don't worry. the rest of us will join you soon. as soon as we can no longer afford a mcrib. >> ^rottenseed:
