Discrimination of gay marriage... by gphhawkinsin atheism

[–]p3ngwin 0 points1 point ago

take it not upon yourself to speak for every non-believer (or the concept of atheism)

right, so i shouldn't speak about the definition of atheism ?

meanwhile you seem fit to tell other people and 'advise' them on how to behave ?

i'm merely advising you not to go around speaking on behalf of the concept of atheism, or any concept for that matter ...

really?

You presume to tell people that they should not speak about existing concepts and beliefs now ?

ORLY?

YES, REALLY! fucking relax, holmes. jesus christ

are you trying to be an overreacting person, or are you just...i don't know, unhinged ?

don't bother yourself to speak for every atheist or atheism in general

never did, but don't let that stop you telling other people not to do things they already never did. you seem to confuse what you're reading.

when i say "religious oppression of gay rights is of interest to atheism" you hear: "people should do this and that, etc".

they are not the same thing, and for you to mistake the relevancy of 'interest' for commanding other people to do behave in certain ways shows yo have no idea about the meaning of the words you speak of.

now, let's get back to you telling me that i shouldn't speak about concepts on behalf of other people (despite the fact it never happened)....

sheesh. go make yourself some tea or something.

yes master. right away boss!

'basically' is also used when the speaker hasn't the confidence to state their thought as an absolute, so they say it is 'generally' or 'basically' or 'kind of', 'nearly', 'almost' 'mostly', etc.

It gives the chance for 'wiggle room' on the chance that they need it if they're called on it later. the more disclaimers, the less confidence and conviction the speaker has in their expression.

i think the interviewer (and the person that actually ordered it) really believes "WELL DONE" means "COOKED COMPETENTLY". as in "that's a well-done job".

they haven't a clue of the cooking-terms they're using.

could have gone even further.

They've basically destroyed the meat and any flavor.

the extra words at the end add no extra meaning.

what's to 'address' ?

you take two lines from your posts and take one random one from my posts and ask 'how did you get there?". you're creating irrelevance for the sake of friction, which has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

you aren't posing a relevant question, and that's why it lacks your desired response.

... if i don't make an attempt to pedantically correct your language, i'd be doing us both a disservice.

unless you explain how my language falsifies my statement, i have nothing else to say.

If you're just going to be a pedant about the means by which i convey my message, then you can continue the conversation alone.

when i say atheism (or capitalism, or width, or harmony) is conceptual and not personal, i mean that atheism has no desires, like you or i or Darth Vader or Richard Simmons - persons - have desires and make decisions about what we should eat or which planet we should vaporize. Unless you interviewed Atheism at some point and i missed it. does that make more sense?

then say what you mean, not my fault you can't express yourself in your original tongue.

you mean to say it is not a person.

And i'm not telling you not to do anything

ORLY?

take it not upon yourself to speak for every non-believer (or the concept of atheism)

then you change your argument to:

i'm merely advising you not to go around speaking on behalf of the concept of atheism, or any concept for that matter ...

oh so now you're advising other people that they shouldn't speak on behalf of concepts and other people ?

while you're looking up 'atheism' in the dictionary, look up 'hypocrite' too.

...because one's stance on marriage equality or abortion can be irrelevant to their atheism or many other concepts that they consider.

they can, and they can not. what's your point ?

like i said, you must have a different definition of the words you are suing, because atheism is the personal choice, or 'concept' as you like to call it, of disbelieving gods and religions based on the current lack of empirical evidence.

that's why the word is "A-Theism" got it ?

there's no two ways about it, regardless of if you want to call atheism a 'concept', a 'choice' or a 'banana'.

the definition remains the same, and making false associations with other words does not change anything about the fact that atheism is very much concerns with gods and religions. which are the basis of the gay oppression topic at hand.

if you have anything solid to say about why atheism isn't concerned with gods and religions then i'm all ears, otherwise i'm going to stop here because you are repeating yourself with absurdities.

i disagree about your point 'standing'. (saying that phrase doesn't make it so).

atheism, being conceptual and not personal, has no interests

atheism is simply a behaviour, it IS personal, and it can also be non-personal depending on the individual's choice of how overtly to live that believe.

saying atheism is not personal is as dumb as suggesting an individual's choice to like food is not personal. likewise defining atheism as only a 'concept' is as dumb as saying that religion is only a concept.

both are very real and not merely concepts.

'interests' are the same as 'desires', it's 'what i want'.

atheism is a desire, a choice to not believe in Gods and religion. just as a choice to like your pet, your partner, your car, house, food, etc.

atheism and surfing and narrowness do not have interests

this makes no sense.

atheism is a choice to not follow a god or religion due to a strong belief in the concept of empirical evidence. surfing is a choice to practice a desire to enjoy the wave, the sea and whatever else you associate with it.

'narrowwness' is a made-up word, at best it may mean 'narrow-minded' and is a behaviour, the result of acting on little or no evidence to support such an absolute and dedicated action.

so i don't think you've explained anything about why religious oppression for gay rights has no relevance to atheism.

the cause of gay rights oppression is religion, and atheism is defined by a lack of belief in Gods and their religions.

why is this difficult to understand ?

take it not upon yourself to speak for every non-believer (or the concept of atheism)

i never spoke for anyone but myself and what i believe in.

you can no more tell me NOT to speak in the name of atheism, any more than i can tell you NOT to speak of your love for your partner, your favourite food, etc.

i speak for what i believe in, nothing else, and on that count i believe the issue of gay marriage is indeed an issue of religion.

If you think the mythology of Gods and religions aren't relevant to atheism, then we must agree to have different definitions of the word.

there may not be "an agenda" in the sense of a mission, but there is definitely 'interest' in the sense that it does not like organised religions and the kind of oppression that it propagates.

the very definition of atheism is NOT to believe in such religions and Gods, so how can you achieve that if you don't know what to avert from ?

it's survival, plain and simple.

to suggest that atheism has no interest in religion, is akin to suggesting that science isn't bothered by religious people's reliance on 'faith'. you may not believe in what they do, that doesn't mean you aren't affected by their choices.

religious people are the ones opposing gay marriage.

this has EVERYTHING to do with religion and therefore is in atheism's interest.

Australians aren't jumping in the sea trying to swim to better pastures, but we have hundreds of thousands of people annually trying to get in both legally and illegally.

Not our fault we're awesome :)

i have noticed some definite rigging in the last two seasons. pissed me off no end. now i just watch it for the 'people watching' aspect (i'm a consultant specializing in linguistics and body language, among other things ).

shame that something so simple as food turns into the same thing as everything else on TV, increasingly exploiting people for ever decreasing entertainment.

instead of increasing the complexity and depth of the programming in an effort to further explore what it is to be human, it always seems to turn into a gladiator arena with one survivor.

reminds me when the tomb raider games originally were 'arranged squares' for all the levels, then an updated engine and level editor allowed 45 degree angles so all the levels suddenly became more interesting :)

three or four judges were physically incapable of providing any kind of meaningful input

i don't understand why you believe that, after they have done so for all the seasons until now. unless you are referring to the idea they weren't permitted, due to their scripted plan for the show ?

it shouldn't be irrelevant because it's a fucking show about cooking food that tastes good

agreed, hence why i brought up the point in the first place about a challenge that went straight to picking the winners and losers without a single scene showing any contestants being 'rated'.

I agree it's odd, but I think they're just progressing down the scale of 'how little food must be tasted' to the point where, now, they don't even bother

agreed.

the show is suffering the same fate as many that have gone too far by thinking they have to 'amp it up' to keep the viewing numbers. this inevitably leads to 'drop the contestants in ever increasing meat-grinder situations and stir as much shit up as possible'.

not that it was the first instance, but a good example is what happened with "big brother", when it went from the Dutch original to the UK and the rest of the world. it completely devolved into a torture series that lost any semblance of the human-behaviour phenomenon it was initially meant to be.

it turned into blatant and unashamed abuse filled with people that applied to be abused on a TV.

similarly, Masterchef is seemingly realising that it's becoming less about the food and more about pressuring the contestants into performing for the audience.

A show about exploring food devolves into a bunch performing monkeys.

i don't follow you.

you said they couldn't taste all the dishes, as if you were defending the oddity i mentioned. this despite the fact they HAVE always shown at least some contestants having their dishes tested after a challenge for all the other seasons.

now you're saying you're NOT defending the show. so does that mean you agree that it's odd they tasted NONE of the dishes after that challenge ?

It's difficult to read any consistency and it sounds like you're changing the topic.
