I honestly think atheism is inconsistent with the scientific method. What I mean by that is, what is atheism? It’s a statement, a categorical statement that expresses belief in nonbelief. “I don’t believe even though I have no evidence for or against, simply I don’t believe.” Period. It’s a declaration. But in science we don’t really do declarations. We say, “Okay, you can have a hypothesis, you have to have some evidence against or for that.”

As an atheist who grew up watching Dawkins & Hitchens debate the religious, I can relate. As I grew older, I realized the importance of Christianity in providing meaning, & building a community of people more loyal to shared values than just having a group of self-centered mercenaries.
Nowadays, if I knew nothing else about someone, & was asked if I would rather live among atheists (tend to be liberal or leftist), or just christians, I'd choose to live among christians.

@shortstories @amerika @eastreed 1 The scale is way too small. A few men with multiple wives within a society of hundreds of millons that are still monogamous is not the same as a whole society being polygamous, it is like saying that communism totally works just because a father giving stuff for free to his wive and children haven't caused them starve to death
2 If that is true, yeah, that would work, polygyny works if there very few men and lots women

"Now Canada is euthanising autistic people" - Spiked by Kevin Yuill, 28MAR24
>A father has discovered he is powerless to stop his perfectly healthy daughter being killed.
>Imagine one day you discover that your adult daughter, who still lives with you, wants to be euthanised. As far as you are aware, she is healthy. She suffers from autism and ADHD, but no physical illnesses or disabilities that you know of. You know that she has faced many difficulties in her life, but you love her and desperately want to prevent her death. You are left fighting against her doctors, who encourage her decision and are perfectly happy to help her go through with this. To make this nightmare even worse, no one will even tell you why your daughter has been approved to die.
