Random Politics & Religion #00

Eh? If we're going to stereotype then at least do it right.

Introducing Sparthy's WHEEL OF ATHEISM. (Patent Pending)

#1. The Ex-religious atheist. Most likely harmed/emotionally assaulted/fed up with religion. Comes from a very religious family, uses atheism to lash out against perceived wrongs. Driven very strongly by emotions.

#2. The Neckbeard. Watched some videos on the internet and is now a master of time and space atheism. Believes him/herself to be superior based on a limited introduction to philosophical ideas. Essentially the other side of the Youtube Jihadist.

#3. The Scientist. An individual who lives by logic and through career choice has arrived at atheism. May or may not give a ***about the philosophical implications of God but sees Science as the most reasonable means to obtain answers. Since God relies on faith, the antithesis of the scientific method, QED atheism.

#4 The Contrarian. Religious nutbags are in no short order so this individual has decided to buck the trend and become an atheist. Enjoys the fact that people hate him/her, has no real desire to discuss the philosophical underpinnings of atheism, indulges in large amounts of counter-culture movements, trolls theists and is most definitely a member of the church of Vegan.

#5 That guy who just literally finished Nietzsche. Can't stop saying God is dead or stringing together other bite-sized catchphrases from history that favor atheism. Believes himself to be in possession of rare knowledge though said works have been available for centuries. Has begun to grow out a beard and 'stache to inherit the powers of philosophy.

Most likely a hipster, enjoys a good dose of nihilism.

It's been about three posts since a Hitler reference so here you go:

If I had the pick from the list it would be number 5. I do read Nietzsche.

Well posted fonwaer. Notice how he never said constitutional republic which our nation in America was founded as. Even in Nazi Germany they knew America turned into a democracy which is not what our founders wanted. I encourage you all to look at the differences between a constitutional republic and a majority rule democracy. A constitutional republic is bound by its constitution. A majority rule democracy bis not bound by the constitution. You know it's true no matter what kind of argument you attempt. With acts like the Patriot act and the ndaa that passed this year and ridiculous rulings the supreme court approved in campaign finance our freedoms slip through our fingers. We must restore our constitutional republic to reclaim our nation back. Stop voting for Republicans and Democrats. God bless you all have a nice day.

Well maybe a hipster in denial. I can live with that.

It's okay. After yesterday's discussion with Mosin I'm afraid I might be one too.

I do like craft beer.

And I do have a beard.

I think government employees should all be on .gov accounts too. It still doesn't negate the fact that it's not common practice in the position and not against the rules or illegal as you stated earlier. Not sure where you got the whole taking foreign gifts thing from either but it wasn't from the article you presented.

There's a stark difference between trying to hold government employees accountable and updating rules/laws to uphold that and attempting to smear a politician for regularly accepted practices which no one has made all that big a deal about until maybe now.

No PBR though *** that.

“The practice of using personal email accounts raises potential security concerns,” Steven Aftergood, a government secrecy expert with the Federation of American Scientists, told The Daily Beast. “It would be surprising if Secretary Clinton never dealt with classified matters via email. Were her email messages secured in any way against interception or monitoring?”

Definitely a case for security concerns.

Also from the same article.

“Only she has a complete record, and the committee is now going to have to go to her and her attorneys and her email providers to ensure we have the access to everything the American people are entitled to know,”

But Aftergood noted that no email system is entirely secure, and that even the State Department’s own unclassified system was hacked last year. “But at least government email receives some measure of dedicated security and counterintelligence attention. The email of the Secretary of State in intrinsically sensitive, even when it is not classified,” he said.

I tried it out of curiosity it doesn't taste like much. Even if no hipster notion I wouldn't drink it.

I'll give it marks above Miller Bud Coors thought but that isn't saying much.

Jesus who-picks-our-tomatos-in-California Christ. You need to change your name to herpes because you're just endlessly irritating and you won't go away.

Worst beer I've ever tried probably Natty Ice/Natural Light.

Insane ranting

Seriously. You are the pubic lice of FFXIAH.

I'm beginning to wonder if he's just trolling us all. I don't see how anyone could be that spectacularly dim-witted.
