Bill Gates has said he's "pretty much an atheist" and that belief in a god "makes zero sense." 

Consider that undergoing anesthesia completely suppresses consciousness. If one posits the existence of an immaterial soul which survives bodily death, how do they reconcile that the immaterial soul cannot even experience consciousness when one is under anesthesia?

The concept of the God opiate was started by early man when he was looking at his rotting leg and three dead children.

And that is why your Afterlife will be the same as your Beforelife.

Putin's party, the GOP.

You know that without matter there would be no consciousness, don't you? Consciousness is only in the brain and the brain is made of matter.

You know that Zuckerberg is mentally ill when he said that he was no longer an atheist.

During the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, from 1953 to 1961, the top income bracket in the United States climbed to a marginal tax rate of 91 percent. Taxes on corporate profits were two times as great as they are in 2017, and that’s before the current proposal to cut that rate to 21 percent. The tax on large estates rose to more than 70 percent. Businesses operated under a relatively high tax burden, and they employed a labor force in which one-third of the workers were unionized and bargained with executives as equals. Corporations served a diversity of stakeholders as opposed to stockholders. The result was a booming economy that benefited most Americans.
In 1955, Fortune magazine noted approvingly that the incomes of the top 0.01 percent of Americans were less than half what they had been in the late 1920s, and their share of total income was down by 75 percent. In the 1950s, the average corporate CEO received 20 times more compensation than the firm’s typical employee; by 2016, CEOs’ salaries averaged more than 200 times those of the average worker.

You need to read Luke 18 18:25

18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

You aren't Don Jr. are you?

I get it. You are pro-abortion. Me too.

Well, Trump did give the rich a tax break that will cost $2 trillion. Eisenhower had a top tax rate of 92 percent to pay off the debt of WW2 which was a smaller percent of GDP than our debt today.

Last year more deaths than births were registered in the UK for the first time since 1976. In total, just over 683,000 births were registered compared with nearly 690,000 deaths.

In 2020 there were 3.6 million births and 3.3 million deaths.  A total of 25 states saw more deaths than births in 2020 -- a record high.

Yes, a lot of Conmen use mass media to make alot of money.  Pastor Kenneth Copeland is worth $760 million. So much for "the eye of a needle".

    So long

Yes, accounting for the sizes of protons, neutrons, and electrons, most of the volume of an atom—greater than 99 percent—is, in fact, empty space.

I think I see what you are saying.  A very stupid white can be President of the USA , but only a very smart black can be one.

Why don't we have statues of coaches that lost the Super Bowl?

Animal Kingdom and The Walking Dead.  And yes, I look like Negan.

Well, you said I was a Beta, now I am an ALPHA !

(Actuall I'm a Pi Kappa Alpha)

I support RM

Fantastic !

I have faith in Amun.

Amun, god of the air, was one of the eight primordial Egyptian deities. Amun's role evolved over the centuries; during the Middle Kingdom he became the King of the deities and in the New Kingdom he became a nationally worshipped god. He eventually merged with Ra, the ancient sun god, to become Amun-Ra.

Recent research has found evidence of reports of people coughing up blood with COVID-19: In a February 2020 study published in The Lancet, researchers found that 5% of confirmed cases of COVID-19 (in this study's case, that accounted for two cases out of 39 cases) reported the alarming symptom.  Doctors say it may not always be indicative of serious disease (though it should be brought to the attention of your healthcare provider).

I've told you before that we are soul brothers.

See Consciousness Is Made of Atoms, Too by  Mark Titus

In 1934, the Estonian biologist Jakob von Uexküll published a monograph titled, A Stroll Through the Worlds of Animals and Men (intriguingly subtitled A Picture Book of Invisible Worlds) in which he attempted to show that every animal creates a “world” (he called it its umwelt) from stimuli in the environment to which it responds. Even an animal such as the common wood tick, with which he begins his essay, creates such a world. The wood tick responds to only three stimuli: butyric acid (which is secreted by the skin glands of mammals), which causes the tick to drop onto it from its perch; the shock of landing on its victim, which causes it to scramble among its hairs; and the warmth of the animal’s skin, which causes it to bore into it for its meal of blood.
These three stimuli alone create an umwelt for the tick, “impoverished” as it may be. We can add to his account only that the three stimuli—butyric acid, the shock of landing, and the warmth of the animal’s skin—are analog stimuli, that is, they are undifferentiated gradients in the environment from which the neural system of the tick selects just portions for its response. Those portions, converted into digital form, are the sensations that constitute its tiny world.
There is nothing “mental” or “physical” in this account of sensations. That distinction makes sense only much further down the line in the evolution of neural systems and requires the development of memory and neural plasticity along with a far richer sensory world than the wood tick’s. Sensations are the creation within neural systems of environmental events cast in different form, but still part of the same single material fabric of the universe. They reside in the animal’s central neural system—its brain (as MRI studies reveal)—and can be given a general location for where they occur. They are not “fire atoms,” of course, but they are fully connected to the universe of atoms.

I support RationalMadman for president, not of just DebateArt, but President of the USA !

After reading the University of Utah paper, Harry Ostrer, who headed New York University’s human genetics programme, took the opposite view to Steven Pinker: “It’s bad science – not because it’s provocative, but because it’s bad genetics and bad epidemiology.”

Ten years ago, our grasp of the actual science was firm enough for Craig Venter, the American biologist who led the private effort to decode the human genome, to respond to claims of a link between race and intelligence by declaring: “There is no basis in scientific fact or in the human genetic code for the notion that skin colour will be predictive of intelligence.”

I would then know that pediatric cancer was because God flunked out of God School.

Atoms prove that there is no faith.

Look at it this way.  My thoughts align with Elon Musk and Polytheist's thoughts align with Tammy Fae.

The following is from an article by Gavin Evans:

One of the strangest ironies of our time is that a body of thoroughly debunked “science” is being revived by people who claim to be defending truth against a rising tide of ignorance. The idea that certain races are inherently more intelligent than others is being trumpeted by a small group of anthropologists, IQ researchers, psychologists and pundits who portray themselves as noble dissidents, standing up for inconvenient facts. Through a surprising mix of fringe and mainstream media sources, these ideas are reaching a new audience, which regards them as proof of the superiority of certain races.
The claim that there is a link between race and intelligence is the main tenet of what is known as “race science” or, in many cases, “scientific racism”. Race scientists claim there are evolutionary bases for disparities in social outcomes – such as life expectancy, educational attainment, wealth, and incarceration rates – between racial groups. In particular, many of them argue that black people fare worse than white people because they tend to be less naturally intelligent.

Although race science has been repeatedly debunked by scholarly research, in recent years it has made a comeback. Many of the keenest promoters of race science today are stars of the “alt-right”, who like to use pseudoscience to lend intellectual justification to ethno-nationalist politics. If you believe that poor people are poor because they are inherently less intelligent, then it is easy to leap to the conclusion that liberal remedies, such as affirmative action or foreign aid, are doomed to fail.

You know that's a quote from The Matrix, don't you?

“Remember...all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.”

Where do you think one dimensional strings com from? In physics, string theory is a theoretical framework in which the point-like particles of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and interact with each other. ... Thus string theory is a theory of quantum gravity.

I don't understand, the population of the USA was never 350 million and the population now is 333 million?

No, you should embrace Humanism, because we have no idea what created this simulation ( you know like 2D strings).

Welcome to Humanism.

Psychopaths are less intelligent than average, new research finds.
Contrary to the common view of the psychopath as a criminal mastermind, they score below par on intelligence tests.

Psychopaths are generally dishonest, manipulative and lacking in empathy.

No, can you?

Yes, I think Biden is mentally sharp. His compassion shows this.  Research has shown that people with reduced empathy have cognitive decline.

Remember that as a student at Catholic school, Biden struggled with a stutter — a speech condition that, at the time, was often regarded as a sign of low intelligence.

The bullying Biden endured on account of his stuttering would prove to be formative.

Equally formative would be Biden’s efforts to manage his stutter. Determined to overcome it, Biden took action in a way that would define his approach to life and politics: Just keep pushing. If you fail, try again. Work hard. Persevere.
“Biden would stand in front of his bedroom mirror holding a flashlight to his face and he would recite Yeats and Emerson,” says Jon Hendrickson, a senior editor for The Atlantic who has profiled Biden and who stutters himself, describing a method Biden used to bring his stutter under control and gain confidence.
Biden’s pushing would pay off. Eventually, the boy who had been bullied at school became president of his senior class.
“Many people would say Biden’s stutter is among his most visible weaknesses, if not number one,” Hendrickson says. “But it’s also a source of his strength. It’s also the main source of his grit and his determination, to just be there competing.

Trump was 72 when he said, “My father is German. Right? Was German. And born in a very wonderful place in Germany.” In fact, his father was born in the Bronx and it was his grandfather who was from Germany.
Dementia Care International says a "person may start to mix up relationships and generations” in the second stage of dementia. 

See the image of Donald Trump talking to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, saying:

When BrotherDThomas was 14 years old, he wanted to know which church he should join, so he asked God in sincere prayer. In response to this prayer, God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, appeared to BrotherD and told him the true Church of Jesus Christ was not on the earth and They had chosen BrotherD to restore it.

The Lord told the Prophet BrotherDThomas, “This generation shall have my word through you”, and “Thou shalt continue in calling upon God in my name, and writing the things which shall be given thee by the Comforter, and expounding all scriptures unto the church”.

It actually says:  Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.

If we didn't have death, wouldn't we still have Neanderthals? And no, I don't mean Trump voters.

Since the election of Donald Trump, hate crimes have been on the rise. White supremeists have been emboldened. Anti-immigrant rhetoric has intensified. We condemn these awful examples of prejudice and bias and hate, but systemic racism is something different. It’s less about violence or burning crosses than it is about everyday decisions made by people who may not even think of themselves as racist. As sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva has said, "The main problem nowadays is not the folks with the hoods, but the folks dressed in suits."
Systemic racism persists in our schools, offices, court system, police departments, and elsewhere. Why? Think about it: when white people occupy most positions of decision-making power, people of color have a difficult time getting a fair shake, let alone getting ahead.
