The woke left has not. Look at the Map advocacy. Multiple breadtubers(vaush, contrapoints) have defended pedophilia and said the child adult distinction is a false power dynamic. Nevermind drag time story hour.

Loads of people disagree with you and believe it is murder and can quote science to back up their argument. You also don't have any definition with a clear line when this switch from non human to human happens. It almost always boils d

It's not just about now. Who knows what happens in the future. Eastern Europe was fractured and weak following World War One. A huge invasion still came twenty years later. This is a game played out in centuries, not 20 years. The futu

If there was a kingdom hundreds of years ago, and every printing press was owned by a church that did not allow itself to be criticized, no one in their right mind would say that kingdom had free speech. That is the current situation in the

To be blunt, you either haven't read cs Lewis or are being intentionally deceitful. Cs Lewis's arguments are explicitly anti-humanist. Dostoesvsky and lewis changed my life and brought my from a mild agnosticism to traditional Ca

As someone who has one, only minor traffic violations. And only in certain places (cops not in the northeast generally are not unionized and dont honor them. ) It's not a get out of jail free card like it's being described.

Rules are useless without a policemen capable of enforcing them. They are at best suggestions, if not simple propoganda for domestic consumption. This is made even worse when the supposed policemen break their own rules as well (Kosovo). I

A blockade and air raids also causes deaths. The literal name for the blockading operations with mines around Japan was Operation Starvation. Sometimes there are only bad options available. The bomb was the best choice

Would you have an issue if we put "suspected paedophile and open paedophile apologist" in the opening lines for philosophers like Foucault, Sarte and gore vidal? Those are also objective facts. I would rather have dinner with a an

I have not heard a convincing argument that true right or wrong can exists outside of a universe with a monotheistic God. Do you believe you morality is more right than a Nazis or a pedophiles? If so, you need a justification of why your mo

Yeah, this is the fundamental disagreement. When discussing morality, I'm not talking about what you are. It is a law that overrides all of us, with true right and true wrong. Without a monotheistic God, these don't exist and mora

1. This view also takes the idea that morality can be reached by reason on faith I am not saying I fully disagree, but even the concept of morality at its core is not rational. 2. It is possible to be religious and do good for the sake of g

I am not claiming to have perfect vision of this order, but I am asserting that it exists and we have no choice but to sit in it's judgment. We can argue and and discuss about the specifics, but when I and other religious people are di

What is morality? It is not a physical material phenomenon and it is not scientific, so if it exists it is by definition supernatural or its synonym metaphysical Once you are discussing the supernatural, you are discussing religion.

Ive read Hitchens, and I am not impressed. Subjective morality is ultimately simple preferance and ultimately just a battle of wills. I, and most other religious people, do not consider such a "moral order" to be morality at all.

Reading dostoesvsky brought my back to the church on a spiritual and emotional level, and the Abolition of Man and Mere Christianity bt CS Lewis brought me back on an emotional level.

Catholic priests are less likely than the general population to be predators. You only hear about it because the media Is hostile to the church. School districts across the country have done similar things in terms of cover ups but I don&#x

Bishop barron is great, as a practicing catholic strikes a great balance between the more liberal and traditional wings of the church.

Freedom of speech, religion, conscious and the right to bear arms are all vigorously opposed by the modern left. I cna also think of a group of people who the right fight for who the left don't even consider people.

This is not true. The vast, vast, vast majority of works from the classical world we have were saved by byzantine and western European monks. I am thankful we the works saved by Muslims, but there has been a gross over reaction where the tr

Christianity was far more dominant in Mexico and France, but in neither case did it prevent secularists from slaughtering Christians in huge numbers e.g. The cristero war and the war in the Vendee.
