Say what you want about Hitler, but at least he killed Hitler.

Der er studier der påviser at religiøs praksis (bøn og meditation) kan mindske stress og give mening for mennesker i krise.

Du skriver det jo nærmest selv, religionen er et overflødigt element, og jeg vil mene meditation virker bedre.
Der er ingen sky-daddy der hjælper, og der er ingen sky-cookie som belønning.

Jeg bliver altid mistroisk når jeg hører folk tale om at uden religion har mennesket intet moralsk kompas.

Det er der også god grund til, for det er direkte vås.
Mennesker har et indbygget moralsk kompas som er udviklet gennem evolution, og har til formål at hjælpe og beskytte gruppen man tilhører.
Dette er endda også påvist blandt andre flokdyr.

Til gengæld er religion det stærkeste værktøj der findes til at få folk til at IGNORERE deres moral.
Biblens læren om at stene folk for at arbejde på helligdagen, og slå folk ihjel hvis de har sex udenfor ægteskab er to meget tydelige eksempler på manglen på moral i Biblen.
Men især Biblens læren om at det er OK for en slave ejer at straffe en slave så han dør af det, er vel nok blandt de mest kvalmende kristne vejledninger.

Også straffen for en kvinde, hvis manden MISTÆNKER hun er blevet gravid fordi hun har været utro er grusom.
Så skal hun spise gift, hvis hun dør var hun skyldig!

Betyder ikke at religiøse mennesker skal tvinges til at blive ateister,

Nej det kan man ikke rigtigt. Men man kan gøre det ulovligt for dem at sprede deres udokumenterede gylle med tomme løfter om evigt liv, på samme måde som Nazi propaganda er ulovligt. Og så kan man fjerne skattefrihed for religiøse bevægelser.

Jeg ved ikke hvorfor vi skal finde os i at religiøst pladder fylder vores medier, og endda ofte bringes ind i politiske debatter?
Hvad med at de religiøse reelt begrundede gavnen af deres religion? Men det kan de ikke. Kristendom har haft 2000 år til at vise noget, men der er stadig intet der så meget som antyder rigtigheden af Kristendom. De har intet gavnligt at pege på som har bund i realitet og fornuft.

Kristendom er ligeså lidt gavnligt som homøopati, som igen og igen er bevist ikke at have effekt udover placebo.
Må jeg så heller ikke kalde placebo tåbeligt at spilde tid på og endog skadeligt da det kan forsinke folk i at søge reel behandling?
Religioner forlanger ikke bare at blive respekteret, de forlanger særbehandling mod kritik og til at diskriminere mens de samtidig er skatteundtaget! Hvorfor er diskrimination accepteret i folkekirken når det er ulovligt i resten af samfundet?
F.eks. mht. at nægte vielse af homoseksuelle, eller ikke tillade kvindelige biskopper, og mange menighedsråd diskriminerer stadig imod kvindelige præster.
Er der virkelig stadig folk der er ubekendt med dybe problemer med religion? Og som ikke forstår at nogen af os har fået mere end nok for årtier siden!

Når jeg skriver religion er mental cancer, er det ikke bare et kraft udtryk. Jeg mener det 100% bogstaveligt.
Religion er ekstremt skadeligt for både individ og samfund, ligesom andre former for overtro også kan være det.
Men blandt de forskellige former for overtro er religion nok den mest skadelige.

F.eks. Biblen som er fundamentet for Kristendom som er den religion vi er mest belastet af herhjemme, er samlet af skrifter der er næsten 2000 år gamle for nyt testamente, gammelt testamente er endnu ældre.
Og der er absolut ingen visdom at finde i biblen efter dagens standard. Der er ingen beviser for en eneste af de fantastiske påstande der er i biblen. Hvordan i alverden bliver det stadig taget seriøst?

Beskyttelse af religion er tydeligt skadeligt, hvilket nok beskrives bedst med tolerance paradokset.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

At tolerere religions intolerance skaber intolerance i samfundet.
Jødeforfølgelsen i Tyskland under anden verdenskrig var baseret på Martin Luthers skrifter.
I dag påstår Katolikker og Paven at de nu er tolerante overfor homoseksuelle, men diskriminerer dem stadig, f.eks. med forbud mod at blive gift.

Det er et koncept skabt i USA, hvor at du skal bruge din tro på at jesus hjælpewr dig med at holde op med at drikke, hvis det så lykkes, skal du takke jesus, og ikke din egen viljestyrke.

Det er måske modereret med tiden og i Danmark. Men oprindelsen er stærkt kristen, og kristen tro er en del af metoden.

Jeg tjekkede lige om det stadig er en del af programmet, og allerede punkt to er fyldt med bavl om tro.
Men hvis du har lyst kan du jo se selv med linket.

It was so obviously stupid back then, that only people too young to remember don’t know this.
Trump had no reason to tear up that agreement, he did it because it was an agreement Obama had made, and Trump was hellbent on reversing everything Obama did out of spite and nothing else.

AA er kvalmende Kristent.

Det nærmest sammenlignelige er nok mindfulness.

Religion er overtro og en mental cancer, både for individ og samfund.
Jeg har kun foragt for folk der forsøger at bilde os ind at vi har brug for mere overtro.
Hvis menneskeheden var reelt rationel, ville vi have afskaffet religion for 100 år siden.

OK, except the post indicate building a new garage to get rid of the unused car.
Kind of overkill IMO.

Being mindless about anything has pretty similar results, I don’t see the point of this?
Forget you have a car parked in your garage and it will get dirty over time.
Maybe not the best analogy, but if you don’t give a shit, things tend to fall apart.

Are you saying you don’t know when you install additional packages?
How does that work?

This doesn’t make sense to me.
If you install features over time, it’s because you want to use them, if you want to use them, it’s not bloat.
If it’s to try it, and it’s not for you, why not just remove the package again?

I can’t say for others, but my system definitely does not get bloated over time.
On the contrary, I remove preinstalled features I don’t use, when I get tired of seeing them updating.

I never claimed they are a majority, but they don’t have to be to ruin things.
Will make it as in survive. We are destroying the earth, and a country like USA is not participating in solving the problem, despite being the richest country in the world, and a major contributor to the problem.
A clear sign of sociopathy on a national scale, a sociopathy that equals the 2 attackers in the alley.

I have no clue how this meaning wasn’t obvious?

I’m at a loss for words!?
These people are doing this just out of hate! How can anyone hate someone so much, when she never did anything to them?
Something is seriously wrong with such people, and unfortunately they are many.

I hope they are found and they go to jail. But with people like that being so common, I’m not sure humanity will make it. I’m not so sure we even deserve to make it as a species. We are just too destructive for our own good.

Yeah farming or mining whatever you can do.
They sell everything for real money, complete accounts with upgraded characters, or rare items or whatever has value in a game.

Interesting. How was this data extracted?
AFAIK Linux is not doing well in China, and China has been known to skew the Steam stats a lot before. China uses bots heavily on Steam for mining in games.
Anyways it’s cool that we can see Linux is doing well on Steam now, despite influential factors like China.

It would be interesting to see the amount of purchases made on Linux vs other operating systems. I think that’s the number that counts more than anything else.

Yeah it’s far from perfect, but it’s still better than most countries in most ways.
Child protection however is an extremely difficult area, because getting it wrong is horrible, despite they think they are helping the child. In other situations, there really is a need to protect the child.

I don’t know if this woman has gotten her children back

Probably not, the standard mode for social workers/services I’ve seen here in Denmark, is to double down, no matter how wrong their original decision was. It was their decision, and they are right by law, and it basically can’t be questioned.

simply being Greenlandic will be enough to get the attention of social workers.

The tests cover attachment, personality traits, cognitive abilities and psychopathology, and take about 15-20 hours. It is almost impossible to pass them, says Nellemann; even he and his colleagues have failed to do so.

I remember reading about this late last year, and I remember not trusting that social worker or the process one bit.
I once watched a documentary about this kind of “social service” and some of their methods are 100% unscientific, and don’t take personality traits or just moods into account, like whether a person is extro- or introvert. I even posted about it on feddit.dk, but was met with much skepticism. One of the things I saw, was that if a baby doesn’t seek eye contact with a stranger holding it, it should be a sign that the mother doesn’t give the baby enough attention! Yes really it’s that stupid! When obviously it’s more likely the baby doesn’t appreciate a stranger.

I can’t put into words how much I despise that kind of quackery! Because that’s what it is.
But quackery is unfortunately standard procedure in social services. And social services even trump real doctors, meaning quackery trumps real doctors by law!!
Quackery is illegal in Denmark, except in social services where it’s an everyday phenomenon.
