"It costs me a small amount of money and saves a fair number of people from homelessness. More to the point, the older generation who'd suffer if the program were to be cut has already paid for it. They paid for it, I pay for it, my children pay…"

Rem replied to Vertigo_One [Ops Mod]'s discussion The Secular Case against gay marriage"The entire institution of marriage is flawed to begin with. Sure, it makes things a bit easier legally (Inheritance, right to see your significant other in the hospital room and decide what to do if they can't, being a legal guardian of…"
Rem replied to Easton Camp's discussion Why does Science and Theology have to be polar opposites?"Maybe it breaks down once you reach numbers with a billion digits. According to humans, this isn't the case, but we really only have our own word for it, seeing as how we created it."
Rem replied to Karen's discussion A Catholic open to Questions."Five thousand years is a long time.
Disregarding that...if Hell is what people deserve when they sin, then why are people allowed into Heaven? And if the answer is, "Because God is merciful," why is he picky about who he grants…"
Rem replied to Easton Camp's discussion Why does Science and Theology have to be polar opposites?"...So wait, how do we even know that our universe is logical? Humans have been wrong about the universe before. Maybe addition doesn't actually work, and we just have no way of verifying."
Rem replied to Karen's discussion A Catholic open to Questions."So...wouldn't Hell just be death, then? Eternal non-sentience?
Keep in mind that humans have been showing signs of considerable intelligence for at least ten thousand years. That's a lot of dead people, and there's not a chance…"
Rem replied to Karen's discussion A Catholic open to Questions."Er...I fear that I may be missing some context here, or that I've misunderstood something very important about Catholicism, and am thus about to make a complete and utter fool of myself.
But hey, the status quo isn't so bad, so here…"
Rem replied to Karen's discussion A Catholic open to Questions.""Christians go to heaven," and, "Atheists go to heaven," are not mutually exclusive.
Pedantry aside, that's kinda the Pope's whole schtick. Blessing people, excommunicating them...according to Catholicism, God…"
Rem replied to Maggs Science's discussion Why haven't guns been outlawed yet?"Filthy pedant. ;P
Alright, fine. A gun is designed to kill at least one. Which is still a tragedy that can never be reversed."
Rem replied to Maggs Science's discussion Why haven't guns been outlawed yet?"80 to 1? No kidding. Source, please?
Knowing how to aim a gun (As well as knowing basic safety) are one thing. Using one on another human being, however? No. You do not use a gun for crime deterrence unless you have no other options.…"
Rem replied to Maggs Science's discussion Why haven't guns been outlawed yet?"A gun is designed to kill one.
And yet, regardless of how much company they have, that one person is still dead.
If you're not prepared to kill someone with a gun--to put a bullet through their chest cavity and watch them die--then you…"
Rem replied to Delstein's discussion Does Columbus deserve the credit he's given?"I was making a hipster joke."
Rem replied to Josh Braun's discussion Why are knives still legal? A call to ban all knives."Yeah, I know.
I specifically assumed you were trying to say that gun laws were ridiculous, using knives to prove your point. If you were just goofing around, sorry for misunderstanding you. Otherwise, I stand by my point--there's no…"
Rem replied to Easton Camp's discussion Why does Science and Theology have to be polar opposites?"The conflict comes from the origin of God, not the presence thereof. I don't mean natural selection in organic life forms. "Natural selection," is just a convenient word to refer to the formation of a purposeful phenomenon. I'm…"
Rem replied to Josh Braun's discussion Why are knives still legal? A call to ban all knives."Cute.
Well, if their sole purpose is to harm, then I agree. Though admittedly this raises questions about the dining etiquette my parents taught me while I was growing up. I believe I might have been using them wrong...for quite a few…"
Rem replied to Easton Camp's discussion Why does Science and Theology have to be polar opposites?"In a sense, but they'd still be created by humans. It would take a human to ultimately recognize that logic. Otherwise, everything would be nothing more than waves with different amplitudes, with concepts like, "Time," and,…"
