From a public messaging perspective, I'd rather see research projects geared more towards younger people. While reducing animal product consumption by old people is important, it's the younger generations who that will make or break the global reduction of meat/dairy. So maybe instead of...

It's a consensus source. Unlike the unilateral garbage you are quoting most of the time. In any case, I am done with this argument, welcome to my ignore list. You are the first one there, so it's an honor. To be honest, I am not even sure you are vegan or just using this forum as a convenient...

LOL. Government own everything by definition (consider Eminent domain) and it's pretty clear that I was talking about private organizations to begin with. I see you did not comment of the fact that Church is an ultra-rich business and that business' primary source of income is donations. Odd...

Whoa! My dinner was almost identical! Well, no toast or persimmons for me, but I did have a full bottle of wine and a couple crackers.

Only if they consent to it and usually after dinner :)

I drink anywhere between 5 to 8 cups of coffee a day. No milk. As the Turkish people say, "hot as hell, dark as night and sweet as love".

The Catholic Church owns roughly 177 million acres of land. It is the largest non-governmental land owner in the world. The Economist Digs Into the American Catholic Church’s Finances, Finds That Cardinal Dolan Is Manhattan’s Largest Landowner There you go, because I am an educated bigot :| Not...

Actually, Nazis and Christianity coexisted rather well, there are many scholarly articles on this topic. While it's very fashionable to bring up the the WWII, plenty of other genocidal conflicts were started under religious or quasi-religious auspices. Even though Tamil Tigers as an...

So far the only person engaging in indoctrination is you and you are obviously not an atheist :|

Of course! I am a pirate, after all!

Personally, I am a Pastafarian! He boiled for our sins!

Well, considering that you are quoting some random sources, I'll quote the wikipedia on the topics that you are trying to refute. Pretty sure the good citizen of the Web have done research aplenty on the topic. "The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes...

Look at the actions of the Church over the last two millennia. Just off the top of my head, we got the Crusades the Inquisition the bloody conflicts between different fractions the Pope denying Holocaust institutionalized homophobia institutionalized subjugation of women child molestation...

Not necessarily, it depends on which geometry they exist in. For example, in some non-Euclidian geometries you can still derive distance equations from Pythagorean theorem, but in some it just does not hold at all. As I said, our mathematics are a product of our environment. Someone thinking...

Do the old words stop describing old things once we invent new words to describe new things? However, very accurate measurements of the precession of the planet Mercury necessitated an overhaul of Newton's theory of gravity in the form of Einstein's general relativity. The whole "math is...

Imagine that you are trying to cook something and it calls for a specific animal-derived ingredient. Whatever it is, reduced butter, shredded Gruyère or egg whites. I really wish there was a single searchable site that documents ways to substitute ingredients while keeping the flavor and the...

The holy books of the major religions glorify war, murder, animal sacrifice and war. Many of the interpretations promote hatred to people of other faiths. If this literature is truly the word of God, it certainly seems he wants us to be the way we are. Horrible things were done in the name of...

Religion is the proof that advertisement works. Nobody has ever seen the product being sold, but everyone believes that it's the best.

It all depends on how you perceive these problems emotionally, because every philosophy is simply an emotional justification of our actions. From the statistical perspective, a death of a child is an acceptable loss to avoid the loss of a breeding mountain gorilla (or some other species close...
