You want examples of systemic racism?

• Poverty is inherited and it's impossible to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Black people in America are poor because they used to be slaves
• White cultural traditions are legal in Australia. Many aboriginal cultural traditions have been made illegal in Australia due to land ownership changes
• Black people are under-represented in universities, so the university scientists building facial recognition apps aren't building them to work on black people
• Schools teach their lessons in english. Multilingual students who don't speak english at home often have a disadvantage in lessons that will be felt their whole lives
• Children of illegal immigrants may have never received identification such as a birth certificate and it can be hard to get this as an adult
• Whenever the police use robotic and computer systems to detect criminals the AI ends up racial profiling and harassing black people

idk sounds like people like the memes. They're just making popular content,

If less cars are able to park at the shops that's a win. We need to get people out of cars.

Why? This is a scene from a satirical movie parodying fascism

Spacetime is a lie.

Actually, America currently has a refugee crisis of people who want to leave

this tbh

They don't understand the difference between the emotion depression and the illness depression

Elon Musk is an actual Nazi and anyone who still uses twitter is sus imo

Loser behaviour tbh. Fragile masculinity

I use simple science to evidence the existence of the gods. Richard Dawkins is actually responsible for the scientific breakthrough that proved theism.

See, Dawkins came up with this model of the "meme" and the field of memetics. The core concept is that ideas spread through the human population like germs. They reproduce, mutate, and some ideas are fitter than others. In other words, they're subject to evolutionary pressures. They behave just like living organisms. They grow and change in order to secure their own survival and dominance in the ecosystem.

So if ideas are alive, and some ideas are the gods, then the gods are alive as ideas. They act to secure their own existence. Take the cultural genocide enacted by Christians on the rest of the world during colonisation. This is easily explained by an idea that wants to be the only god anyone believes in, and which can act to this end. Because the strains of the meme which propagate the most are blind and hateful loyalty. The Christian god really is alive and he really does control Christians. He's an idea, and he wants to be in everyone's head.

Every god worshipped by some religion, no matter how small, is real. They are made real by worship.

Infinite growth is the ideology of a cancer cell

The Bible was written by humans, it's not an authoritative text.

Sense is made by the observer. Let me illustrate with an example. Suppose I were trying to determine whether pills can really cure illnesses. So I ask my friends where I can get some pills to do this experiment, and they refer me to their ecstasy guy. I try experimenting with ecstasy to find if it can cure the common cold, covid-19, and cancer. After rigorous trials, I correctly determine that ecstasy cannot cure any of those illnesses. And then I read the incorrect conclusion that pills don't cure illnesses. My mistake was over generalising. It was a bad methodology.

Likewise, many people experiment with only one religion and determine religion is bad. Just like in the example I experimented with only one pill and determined pills aren't useful. It's the same mistake.

Yes, I'm a scientist, and my scientific views have lead me to adopt religion. I'm always interested in correctly applying the scientific method to find the truth

It sounds like the sum total of your experiments with religion were experiments with Christianity. That isn't a very sound methodology for experimentation.

I want to reduce abortions by providing easy access to sex ed and free condoms. Abortions should still be 100% legal and easy to get, but there ought be less of them cause they suck to go through.

Anyway, hail Satan.

Christianity doesn't have hell or damnation. It has Sheol, which is a waiting room for souls

Fun fact: Worcestershire isn't vegan
