The True Tragedy of the Tree Of Life Synagogue

Hello All,
If you even vaguely follow the news you'll know about the Tree of Life shooting. Now the fact that 11 people were killed is tragic, but the fact that we will never see them again. Ever. That is the true tragedy, the fact that they can never be reunited with the loved ones they were ripped away from. That is why we need common sense gun control.

5 Questions Atheists Cannot Answer (Answered)

Hello All, Sorry I haven't posted in a while, between running and schoolwork I've been busier than normal, so here's a new post. So, SJ Thompson, a religious apologist, specifically Christian, has posted 5 questions for atheists, this post is from May of last year, but I just found it today perusing the black hole of doom, gloom, and depression that is the internet. So her first question is, " So, why do even individualists know that we ought to help the weak, feed the poor, and be honest, humble, just, cooperative, empathetic, forgiving and loving? Why is it that all societies, regardless of their practices, know what we ought to do? Where did we get this moral compass?" My answer is a quote from the Greater Good Magazine run by UC Berkley, " We are so used to empathy that we take it for granted, yet it is essential to human society as we know it. Our morality depends on it: How could anyone be expected to follow the golden rule without the ...

Why Impeaching Trump Is a Bad Idea

Hello All, I'm here to write why I think it would be ill-advised to impeach Trump in the present state of the government, (as of October 25, 2018). The first, and largest problem being that if Trump is impeached, which is unlikely, even after the midterms, as this assumes a Democrat win in the House and Senate, the latter of which will be a harder race for Democrats, is Mike Pence, as a bible-thumper, arch-conservative, it's almost better to wait it out until 2020, because even Republicans are starting to dislike Trump's brand of conservatism, and Pence is further right than Trump on Gay Marriage, Abortion ( on which Trump has no consistent position I can find) and on women's rights, because of Presidential Line of Succession, Pence would take office and become the 46th POTUS, resulting in a far more conservative America that might cause a mass exodus to countries like Canada, The U.K, and the Netherlands. The Second issue is that as there may be a new Speaker of th...
