    "God Friended Me"

    Atheist male blogger, preacher father, spiritual female journalist... sounded like it might be an interesting TV show. To my surprise, the words exchanged between the atheist and believers (in regards to God) were quite blunt; a lot more "realistic" and "harsh" than I figured a network show...

    Protests in Downtown Dallas about black man shot by white officer...

    ... are going on right now. Shouts of "Shut it down!","Justice now!" and "Botham Jean" can be heard, from I-30 (that was briefly shut down). Oh... In Fort Worth, 32 miles away, Officer Garrett Hull is currently in the ICU at JPS Hospital after being shot in the head by a robber. Let's hope...

    Nothing to see here (#metoo)

    Photo of Asia Argento with 17-year-old actor surfaces Someone at the forefront of the me too movement, publicly accusing Weinstein of rape, agrees to make payments after being accused of sexual assault. I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen anything about this on here, yet.

    Non-racist event occurs in Minneapolis.

    "They say the shooting was unnecessary because Blevins was not a direct threat to the officers." "Blevins' family members said he wasn't a danger while he was running away." Running away and pointing a gun at cops... is not a danger...

    Chicago Police shooting and protests

    “This department is not fixed,” he said. “This department is racist … unconstitutional, and we're tired of it.” Just wanted to throw out this news story. Waiting to hear how this one is racist, like everything else the police do....

    The Curious Case of Justin Trudeau and the Missing Mob

    “I’m sorry. If I had known you were reporting for a national paper, I never would have been so forward.” "I am confident that I did not act inappropriately, but part of this awakening that we’re having as a society ... is that it’s not just one side of the story that matters, that the same...

    How do I go about paying a female less than a male?

    Not giving my opinion nor stance on the "pay gap" thing, but how does this supposedly work? In a literal sense. I see a lot of correlation-causation, not trying to debate whether it's thing, but not how it (can/could) occur. For the sake of argument, let's say it exists in the worse sense...

    What is *really* the problem?

    I assume we are want the same overall general endgame/outcome, but how we go about it is the thing essentially that differs: Affordable and good healthcare. Less (or no) people murdered. Less (or no) poor people. Less (or no) corruption. Less (or no) war. etc.

    Nobody gives me credit...

    ...for the effort it took me to find an appropriate forum. This seemed the most appropriate, out of all of them... I'm looking at credit (cards) and FICO scores. There is 'length of credit' and 'age of credit' (although I don't know if one or the other is used, or a blend of the two) and I am...

    So, Israel...

    At my work, we keep getting old newsletters for someone that used to work there (long ago). Maybe they donated something, I dunno. The newsletter/envelope says something about helping Israel and the constant hardships and tragedies (the words used always sound worse than a PETA and Help the...

    All conservatives?

    I heard a conservative on a show mention all conservatives, "We believe in the idea that human beings were made in God's image, each and every one of us." Wondering what % of conservatives believe what % do believe what he said. Please, if you aren't a "conservative" (whatever that means to...

    Ask a Christian...

    ... is what I'm doing. (Clickbait for the win!) One of the things I've always found puzzling is the acceptance of deities (more specifically, theism). Since information (methods of perception, etc.) starts at our brains, everything after that is a conclusion drawn from said information...

    So, if you are no longer a Christian...

    I've never seen a poll or conversation about how Christians would "deal" with this scenario. More so, how they believe they would process it. I posted it here because Philosophy is closed. I was curious to see what emotional (as best as I could list the options for) reaction a Christian would...
