If Rapist Roy Moore is elected today (99% chance this happens) then I hope Al franken rescinds his resignation and remains in the senate. Evan if he's "guilty" of accidentally touching people's asses that's NOTHING in comparison to attempting to F*** a 14 year old girl and GILLIBRAND and company should Know this.

When you sound like Trump, you know you're wrong.

Seriously, that is written exactly like a Trump tweet.

Why can't the democrats learn how to play hardball "You elect a rapist, we keep are wrongly accused senators" However gillibrand is going to run us over the cliff into oblivion with her self-promoting culture wars instead of a real Left-wing Economic platform as promoted by Sanders and Warren.

I disagree with him, but I see where he's coming from. "You have to fight fire with fire".

Still defending rape.

Huh?

Maybe I can't read, but I'm pretty sure he was not defending rape. He was defending "accidentally touching people's asses." Whether or not you believe that is true, or whether or not you agree with his overall message, you are doing exactly what he is complaining about by equivocating rape and harassment.

Religion is a positive influence on society

I know a lot of people do actually have a sense of morality that is informed by religion, so in that case it could have some positive impact.

No religious person has ever done a good deed that an atheist couldn't also have done. However, a lot of religious people do horrible things that an atheist obviously would not do. Religion is a cancer on society in nearly all cases.

Take out the part about religion being a cancer on society and my comment is objectively true. you never see atheists murdering LGBT people or committing suicide attacks. sure faith might lead some people to do decent things, but that doesn't balance out all the atrocious things that religion has lead people to do, especially when an atheist like me could do any good deed a Christian could do without the scientifically inaccurate and borderline stone age beliefs.

Despite reaching publicunofficial-level edgelordiness, calling religion a cancer was the least terrible part of your post. Many Christians (and people of faith in general) are motivated to act in charity and kidness towards other people, and yes, that includes people that they have differences with. In many places (especially in small towns with fewer official government services present) the church is a hub for charitable giving, setting people in need up with resources and human services they need, and integrating new people into a pre-existing social network. In many places disaster relief begins (and ends) with relief efforts organized in and around churches, as do several other services that exist to help people who are homeless, hungry, or mentally ill. Furthermore, it's pretty asinine to assert that there is nothing a person in a Church can do that you can't do. Churches have far more leverage, social capital and connectedness for addressing and implementing social change than you could ever dream of. Tell me the next time you help a homeless person get a job or apply for public housing; it'll probably take you several days to do that, while my best friend from high school did that full time for his job and served six to seven people per day. He worked for the Catholic Church.

I'm a huge athiest by the way.

Political parties/ideological factions jumping to claim the hypothetical loyalties of historical figures is hilarious and also really idiotic.

There is a concern that certain devout portions of their population might push back progress on women's rights and gay rights. I, myself, would not want to see women being shackled into their homes and being forced to wear restrictive clothing. I wouldn't want to see gay marriage and protections be rolled back. I want to be able to walk into Subway and get a ham sandwich (something increasingly difficult in places like the UK). I don't want our cities to turn into the no-go zones of Stockholm or Bradford, or Copenhagen.


...and I wouldn't want Christians pulling that crap either.

The whole thing is Islamophobic, but the ham sandwich part raises it to another level.

Wanting to eat pork (something people cannot accuse me of, btw) is Islamophobic? Okay.

Its not Islamophobic, but it is Speciesist, so it is immoral either way.

What is this word? My decision to buy chicken over beef at the market is now a f#cking “ism”?

No. No it is not.(believing that animals deserve rights is).

Am confused. I had assumed “speciesism” to be bias toward one species over another (and natural implications thereof). Apparently it’s the opposite. In any case, some D-MD has declared this belief in animal rights as immoral?

Any type of belief that any type of meat is acceptable to eat is speciesist, because it indicates that someone believes that humans should be allowed to discriminate against non-humans.

I've been a vegetarian for five years and this is a bad take.

Pretty easy to determine.
From what I gathered on this forum, if you're a woman and/or a person of color and/or from the coast, you're a smug, liberal, elitist.

tbf while it's mostly false here, its quite true on some quarters of the internet.

And even at that, there are still several users on this forum who assume that if you talk about an issue that uniquely affects women and/or non-white people you're ignoring the needs of "all working class people."
