    In a society where a belief in a particular god is ubiquitous, it's rarely asked whether you've picked the right god. The problem is that there are a number of other societies all with a different god similarly convinced that they are right. It's a bit arrogant to think that all the others are wrong on the basis of no evidence and a bit reckless if you don’t consider the possibility that you may have backed the wrong one.

      Belief/disbelief based deductions end with belief/disbelief based organizations taking advantage in the control system. Belief/disbelief is psychological pathogen mind control. Darwin’s theory of evolution isn’t fact, that's why it's called a theory. Darwin claimed that a unique inclusively hierarchical pattern of relationships between all organisms based on their similarities and differences [the Tree of Life (TOL)] was a fact of nature, for which evolution, and in particular a branching process of descent with modification, was the explanation. Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution. The three limitations of Darwin's theory concern the origin of DNA, the irreducible complexity of the cell, and the paucity of transitional species. This predicts a paradigm shift away from evolution to an alternative explanation.

    How does "we find out when we die" even work ?
    When you die then either you wont know because every capacity you have to evaluate that knowledge ceases to exist.
    Or yes. You find out that there is a god and you then better hope you chose right. But how would that knowledge be relayed back to everyone else with any confidence ?
    How about if I tell you that when you die, you get to meet every comicbook character and superhero there is and you become a superhero yourself and gets to fight evil vilans forever and ever ?
    Should we treat that as a reasonable argument for acting now as if that is true ?
    When you dont HAVE that evidence then you dont HAVE a good reason to think its true. The god you believe to take care of you when you die is not any more real than the scenario I just described. It has no greater odds of being true than yours.
    That means that your idea of what happens is just as imaginary as mine. Thats exactly what a piss poor reason sounds like.

      We have rights, no one has special rights. The ADA does its best to provide accommodations for mental disorders without violating rights. I'm happy to comply with the ADA accommodations. Absolutely no where am I required to adopt a mental disorder or use improper grammar.
      In 1966, Dr. Money founded the Gender Identity Clinic at Johns Hopkins University and started an extensive research program on the psychohormonal treatment of paraphilias and on sex reassignment. Money formulated, defined, and coined the term "gender role" and later expanded it to gender-identity/role (G-I/R).
      Gender identity disorder was used for its diagnostic name when it was introduced into DSM-III in1980. With the publication of DSM-5 in 2013, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” Gender dysphoria (GD), according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders (DSM 5), is defined as a "marked incongruence between their experienced or expressed gender and the one they were assigned at birh." People with gender dysphoria are entitled under the ADA to receive reasonable accommodations and are protected from discrimination.
      Gender dysphoria is being spread like the TikTok spread of tourette syndrome. Psychological pathogen mind control virus. The psychopath billionaire playboy club overlords love population reduction programming. Boob Tube Two likes to call comments like this hate speech and violate my rights to free speech. Legal action is in order. Not all of the billionaires are completely psychopathic. Maybe Elon Musk can buy out Alphabet also and restore free speech to this platform.

John Money didn't believe in such nonsense as infinite "genders" either.

      Belief/disbelief based deductions end with belief/disbelief based organizations taking advantage in the control system. Belief/disbelief is psychological pathogen mind control. Darwin’s theory of evolution isn’t fact, that's why it's called a theory. Darwin claimed that a unique inclusively hierarchical pattern of relationships between all organisms based on their similarities and differences [the Tree of Life (TOL)] was a fact of nature, for which evolution, and in particular a branching process of descent with modification, was the explanation. Evolution is both a fact and a theory. Evolution is widely observable in laboratory and natural populations as they change over time. Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution. The three limitations of Darwin's theory concern the origin of DNA, the irreducible complexity of the cell, and the paucity of transitional species. This predicts a paradigm shift away from evolution to an alternative explanation.

    This reality cannot be fixed by us, God or no God, as the eradication of evil (error) is the work of time and eternity, and we are presently at the beginning of the process. We must do all we can though and play our part in bringing about a brighter future in order to help it eventually manifest in the distant future.
    This reality is the manifestation of the combined thoughts of all human beings who have ever lived and who currently live, and because human thought is selfish for the most part, our reality reflects this and we have a dog eat dog world. It is our duty and privilege to do what we can to improve it. It is a mistake to think that the primal first cause and Creative Principle of Life knows or sees error in the way that we experience it. If that were the case then error would be eternal, changeless, without beginning or end. The Life Principle knows Its creation as perfect eternally. It is our privilege to be a part of the out picturing of this perfection.
    We are living in a special time in history where much of the silt in life's stream is rising to the top in order that it may be cleansed and eradicated. Enjoy the journey as best you can and realise that this is temporal but you are eternal. Your entire life and experience on Earth is but a blip in eternity, and when you eventually pass from here you will realise that it was all a dream, an illusion of the mortal mentality which combines good and evil to create a false reality in order that we may experience both and come to know the difference between the two

The Standard Conception of Philosophy, philosophy as it is understood and practiced, is and has been generally considered to be the search for truth. Thinking like a philosopher involves thinking critically about alternative possibilities. Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline in the search for truth. Logic is a branch of philosophy that is based on certain fundamental principles like the law of identity, the law of excluded middle, the law of non-contradiction, and the law of sufficient reason. Fundamentally, philosophy is the search for truth. Our best route to truth is the scientific method. Scientific method was born from philosophy and logic, and is intertwined with philosophy. Logistical order is:

      5) Theory
      6) Axioms

      Belief has great power, just look at something like the Placebo effect. The flip side of the coin is, the only barrier to truth is believing you already have it, or that truth is unobtainable. Belief/disbelief has absolutely no credence in the scientific method. A belief can be true or false, it’s an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists, even if it's contrary to the scientific method. A hypothesis has indication of truth that is not known to be true; a hypothesis is a justified belief that is backed up with some supporting evidence of the scientific method having at least observation. A theory in science is a carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world that has been constructed using the scientific method. A theory is a substantiated explanation for an occurrence that has come to a peer reviewed conclusion; a judgment or decision reached by scientific method with consistent repeatable observations/experiments. A theory still may not be empirically correct; a fact is empirically correct truth. Hypothesis and theory are search for factual truth through the scientific method. The only barriers to truth is believing you already have it, or that truth is unobtainable. Thinking stops were believing/disbelieving begins. There is no reason to believe/disbelieve. We can choose to be reasonable people, or unreasonable people. We don't have to believe/disbelieve in anything, believing/disbelieving is philosophical suicide. When we know something, it's not belief, hypothesis, or theory; it is fact, an empirically correct truth. Belief/disbelief based organizations have agendas in the control system.

A belief can be true or false, it’s an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists, even if it's contrary to the scientific method. A hypothesis has indication of truth that is not known to be true; a hypothesis is a justified belief that is backed up with some supporting evidence of the scientific method having at least observation. A theory in science is a carefully thought-out explanation for observations of the natural world that has been constructed using the scientific method. A theory is a substantiated explanation for an occurrence that has come to a peer reviewed conclusion; a judgment or decision reached by scientific method with consistent repeatable observations/experiments. A theory still may not be empirically correct; a fact is empirically correct truth. Hypothesis and theory are search for factual truth through the scientific method. The only barriers to truth is believing you already have it, or that truth is unobtainable. Thinking stops were believing/disbelieving begins. There is no reason to believe/disbelieve. We can choose to be reasonable people, or unreasonable people. We don't have to believe/disbelieve in anything, believing/disbelieving is philosophical suicide. When we know something, it's not belief, hypothesis, or theory; it is fact, an empirically correct truth. Belief/disbelief based organizations have agendas in the control system. In that sense belief/disbelief is psychological pathogen mind control.

      ​@DenisK21 Flag this. We have rights, no one has special rights. The ADA does its best to provide accommodations for mental disorders without violating rights. I'm happy to comply with the ADA accommodations. Absolutely no where am I required to adopt a mental disorder or use improper grammar.
      In 1966, Dr. Money founded the Gender Identity Clinic at Johns Hopkins University and started an extensive research program on the psychohormonal treatment of paraphilias and on sex reassignment. Money formulated, defined, and coined the term "gender role" and later expanded it to gender-identity/role (G-I/R).
      Gender identity disorder was used for its diagnostic name when it was introduced into DSM-III in1980. With the publication of DSM-5 in 2013, “gender identity disorder” was eliminated and replaced with “gender dysphoria.” Gender dysphoria (GD), according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental disorders (DSM 5), is defined as a "marked incongruence between their experienced or expressed gender and the one they were assigned at birh." People with gender dysphoria are entitled under the ADA to receive reasonable accommodations and are protected from discrimination.
      Gender dysphoria is being spread like the TikTok spread of tourette syndrome. Psychological pathogen mind control virus. The psychopath billionaire playboy club overlords love population reduction programming. Boob Tube Two likes to call comments like this hate speech and violate my rights to free speech. Legal action is in order. Not all of the billionaires are completely psychopathic. Maybe Elon Musk can buy out Alphabet also and restore free speech to this platform. He understands the dangers of shrinking population, and calls the seven colors pronoun infinite imaginary "genders" nonsense "woke mind virus." John Money didn't believe in such nonsense as infinite "genders" either.
