“Metacognition” is a real word; it means the ability to anticipate the future and plan accordingly, taking into account how your actions will affect other people/animals/beings, and the likely short and long term consequences where applicable. Everyone does that to at least some degree. It is not some state of spiritual hyper-rationality caused by excessive introspection or internal brainstorming or whatever the hell this is supposed to be.

a demographic commits an act on two occasions. Therefore the entire demographic has a predilection to that act.
so, Trump is guilty of rape, and he’s a white man, we can say ‘the New York Courts maintain that white men are rapists.’

There’s a difference between ewuality of abilities (which is false) and equality in rights (which is an ideal).

Did the Allies start WWII by annexing Sudetenland & invading Poland?

Did NATO annex Crimea & invade Ukraine…?

Yes, including outright that Usopp would be African IRL. Still didn’t stop racists from complaining that the Live-Action Usopp is played by a black actor…

Didn’t Oda himself say that the Straw Hats would be all different ethnicities in real life?

“This time, they changed the source material so they wouldn't HAVE to change it later. That is some 200 IQ foreshadowing right there.”
if they’re changing it, it’s not foreshadowing.
Maybe TV is just too complicated for some people?

i just wanted to say something but i realized inciting violence againist people i disagree with is VERY wrong in any situation

These people are so stupid. Oh and what happened to the narrative that "the woke" wanted villains to be white. Wouldn't it fit the Woke agenda to make the fascist hidden leader of the world a white guy?

So apparently any manga character being dark-skinned at this point is “Netflix” “forcing” their “Diversity Curse” upon unwilling manga authors… Because heaven forbid dark skinned characters can naturally exist in a world as crazy and diverse as One Piece…

EDIT: it seems the Mods there already kicked that post back into the abyss of whence it came. So apologies if you cannot read the OG anymore. But I still think it deserves more ridicule.

“In school today they taught my son that there are 3 holidays in December!!”
Christmas, Solstice, Kwanza, Hanukah, Bodhi, Yule, Boxing Day…
what is he in, 2nd Grade?

“...so I to tell him how some people haven't found Jesus....”
oh, good, so you know you’re not the only religion in the world. That’s good.

“Why do they do this?”
Maybe so the kid won’t lose his shit when someone suggests he enjoys all the holidays, not just a merry Xmas?

“I thought that they weren't supposed to do this?”
They do not teach ‘one real and 14 made-up holidays’ so, it’s Kosher.

“ (I'm just afraid that they will tell him the wrong thing) ....”
Well, they’re not supposed to tell him any of them are right.

“.anyway, he said, "I'm a Christian mom"....he has told me many times (on his own) that Jesus died for his sins....”
nice guilt trip he’s on, there.

“We have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion!”
Incorrect.
If you use wine in your sacrament, you don’t have to use grape juice based on the Mormon religion’s direction. And they don’t have to use wine based on the Catholic religion. You can eat bacon even if Judaism forbids it. You can eat beef during Lent even if Catholics say not to. you can talk directly to God even if religions say you need an intercessor. you have freedom from every religion except the one you choose to observe. You can get a divorce even if Apostolic christains like 3x-married Kim Davis forbid it.

And i have the same freedom from all those religions even if i do not observe one.
it’s the ONLY WAY this shit works.

“You are a sick twisted pervert”
oh, stop, you’re making me blush.

“who has abandoned all sense of right and wrong,”
No, i don’t parrot YOUR sense of right and wrong, but I certainly have my lists.

“and effectually has turned his back on God.”
This would be the god whose ‘word’ directs testing a wife’s fidelity (and the baby’s progeny) by forcing an abortion if she’s been unfaithful? Numbers 5?
So, as long as the woman says that the fetus is not her husband’s, then abortion is okay with your skybeast.

‘there is zero empirical proof of so called "germ theory".”
Right off the top of my head, i had an infection a month ago. Two weeks of medication that was designed and tested based on the ‘germ theory’ cleared it up.
And Germ Theory guided the steps to prepare me and the surgical tools/room/personnel for my gall bladder removal, which kept me from an infections.
And germ Theory certainly explains why improperly sterilized instruments infected many VA patients with diseases they didn’t have before this mistake.

So, put that empirical evidence in your pipe and shove it up your ass.

“that theory is a consensus,"
So you can list every mainstream science theory that is NOT a consensus?
I mean, held to be the best explanation so far for the observations made to date?

“ In response, irreligious groups have moved to exploit this advance by turning religious freedom protections into a weapon against authentic religion.”
Just the suggestion that there are authentic and inauthentic religions is an attempt to weaponize religious liberty you twat waffle. You’re just looking for a way to withhold religious freedom from other people because they don’t support your superstition, which completely ignores the point of the first amendment.

She clings to Pope Pius XII (the “Nazi-pope” who signed the Reichskonkordat) and declares everything after him “Vatican II” and illegitimate.

PITT: “…a time when many children are being taught that, if their parents disagree with them about anything at all, their parents are “toxic.” That if parents tell them the obvious truth “I know you better than you know yourself”, they are “controlling.” That if parents declare “THAT would embarrass ME, so don’t!!” they are being “oppressive”!”

Even if theistic Satanism may function like a religion, it is not one substantively, in any correct sense of the term.

Why the hell not? The most common reason that I’ve seen people giving for why something is not a religion is that whatever they’re talking about is not actually theistic. “Theistic Satanism” would certainly seem to pass that requirement! Though, I think the vast majority of Satanists today (which I guess would be the Church of Satan and the Satanic Temple) are actually atheistic.

But even aside from all that…if something “functions like a religion”…well, it might as well just BE a religion, right? As the old saying goes, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

"Well, yeah, I did kidnap your children and steal whatever I thought valuable, but I also forced my language, culture, and religion on you, so it's all good."

I'm sure you will gladly accept an injection of the rabies virus to prove modern medicine wrong, yes? Go for it.

Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia

Because the true love of a father and a mother does not operate on approval. It operates on commitment.

Problem is, said commitment is not necessarily to the good of the child.

Maybe the more mature question is: “What do they see that I still cannot see?”

Or what does the child see that the parents cannot? Being older does not mean being right. Having experience does not mean being able to apply said experience to the circumstances at hand.

Once again PITT not understanding that they might not actually be the font of wisdom they claim to, the narcissists that they are.

restoring religion’s rightful place in the public square

Which would be nowhere, considering how asinine and corrosive religion is. The day a god appears in the Parliament's chambers and makes a case for why we should follow it, I will listen and possibly revise my position. Until then, all I hear are the cries for attention of the feeble-minded who feel challenged by people not agreeing with them on matters of opinion.

Laura Wood #fundie

they are devoid of any real supernatural content

What would that even mean? Jesus, according to the very books christians are supposed to take at face value, dispensed his teachings in easily understandable down-to-earth stories. A person talking about how many angels fit on the head of a needle is not a sign of closeness to god. It is a sign that this person is talking out of their arse about subjects with no actual importance.

Parents with Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia

I’m reminded of how, back in the late 1980s through the 1990s, there were lots of parents who said they didn’t want their children to “live a gay lifestyle”. Not because they believed that sexual orientation was a choice (or at least didn’t overtly claim to believe that), but because they didn’t want their children to be murdered, commit suicide, get addicted to drugs, get infected with AIDs, and/or not produce grandchildren. Because a miserable life with a loveless marriage was a better deal, in their eyes, than that kind of risk. (Also there’s no studies about whether having a miserable life with a loveless marriage while being deeply closeted was actually less of a suicide risk than the alternative.) I couldn’t tell you how much was genuine concern and how much was homophobia and/or selfish manipulation disguised as “concern”, but obviously a lot LGBTQ people of that period disagreed. Today, with the risks far lower, it’s much harder to believe that such concerns are genuine, and it’s less forgivable in the rare cases when they are.

I read the whole thing, and it seems to be saying that the only real religions are Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, and none of those other “fake” religions should be protected under any form of “Religious Freedom”. They’re especially pissed off by the fact that the The Satanic Temple keeps demanding similar representation/presence whenever fundies start trying to intrude into secular life, which is what likely sparked the whole screed in the first place. In addition, they seem to be saying that secular organizations should have no claim or influence over that which they believe should fall within the domain of religion, giving marriage as an example. Possibly they might even be implying that secular organizations shouldn’t exist, though I’m less sure of that.

While not directly stated, they also seem to be invoking something akin to the paradox of tolerance: “If we let just anything claim to be a religion, then it will drive real religion out of the public sphere, and religious freedom will become meaningless”. I don’t think that’s a realistic concern, assuming that’s genuinely what they meant.

…and yet, almost immediately after his election those in 4chan’s /pol/ lauded over others how their orange god had ‘memed’ the first American Pope into existence.

Do you agree with those on that particular board that he is /yourguy/ since, Laura Woodn’t: despite later revelations nary hours afterwards that Cardinal Prevost had been critical of the /pol/tards’ orange god…?!

…and with that toxic attitude you allow to exist in your brain cell, you wonder when equally mindless bigots such as you end up being lonely.

No wonder when their grown up children feel joy when said so-called ‘parents’ end up in a world of pain.

Self-inflicted too. When that pain wouln’t later exist when forward thinking would solve that via being forward thinking: not allowing unjustifiable bigotry to exist in their minds in the first place.

So point out in the US Constitution where it says verbatim ‘God’, ‘Jesus’ and ‘Creator’, OP.

Nobody mentions slavery in Africa because it’s irrelevant. “A bad people did a bad thing, so it’s okay for a good people to do the same bad thing” is not a sane argument. And also, how African countries deal with the their own history of slavery isn’t really the affair of how non-African countries do so.
