Ok but seriously, I don't see how you can respect everyone's religious beliefs, implicitly accepting that their religion is a personal belief and not an objective truth that controls where their souls end up, but then also insist that you're a better judge of their beliefs than they are and you have to override their beliefs and do it "right" to save their soul.

That just makes no sense to me. It seems like you should either:

Pick the religion you think is the objective truth and treat everyone with that to save their very real souls regardless of what they want. Sorry, Islam is fake, and your soul is on the line so here's the last rights in God's native language: English

OR

Respect their beliefs by actually respecting their beliefs whatever they are.

This third thing where you respect their beliefs, unless you think they're doing their religion wrong, then you stop respecting what they want and do what you think they're supposed to believe instead, and justify this by saying only this specific Anglican ritual will save their soul (but you'd do a different ritual if they say they're Catholic or Jewish) is not very logical imo.

i think your main problem in this thought experiment is that youre assuming that people with religious beliefs consider themselves to be absolute authorities on what those beliefs entail this is a very individualistic interpretation of spirituality which in the context of organized religion is quite oxymoronic what exactly does it mean for a person to be a member of a spiritual community if they dont think theres anything to learn from other people in that community spiritually the conflict of these ideas isnt something you just made up of course its a big reason why church membership has been plunging so much in recent years

a secondary problem of your thinking here is that we arent discussing regular old dejected shitposting assholes like ourselves were talking about people on deaths door or who have undergone trauma so severe they might be at risk of walking themselves straight to it being in this kind of situation gives a person a strong sense of humility and fear and doubt about the meaning of life and death a person at that point who as a healthy person might have thought her religion was about hating the queers is likely looking for something of greater substance to focus on as she faces the great beyond and even assuming shes just a shallow rear end in a top hat whos perfectly happy chanting god hates fags to herself as she passes over the question is then begged why should she or we even care about getting her a chaplain in the first place if she obviously doesnt need one

tldr atheists dont need chaplains dumbass lol

Couric reminded Maher that Allen reportedly requested girlfriends to dress up in childlike clothing as part of sexual roleplay, raising questions about his proclivities. “Do you think he’s the only guy who likes that? Really?” Maher shot back. “Do you think he’s the first guy who wanted his girlfriend to dress in anklets and baby doll [dresses]? That’s what we grew up on, that’s what we find sexy…that doesn’t make you a pervert.”

Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, revealed Thursday she has been suspended from Barnard College over her involvement in anti-Israel protests on Columbia University’s campus.

“I’m an organizer with CU Apartheid Divest @ColumbiaSJP, in my 3 years at @BarnardCollege I have never been reprimanded or received any disciplinary warnings,” the 21-year-old wrote on X.

“I just received notice that I am 1 of 3 students suspended for standing in solidarity with Palestinians facing a genocide.”

I mean, he's correct inasmuch as pedos were held to a different standard--none at all!--back when he & I were growing up.

My parents hired a 30-something neighbor to babysit their four girls (2 of us teens) while they went on vacation for a week, even tho the guy had "dated" a 14 yr old previously, and even though he had a habit of exposing himself while facing my sister's bedroom (both of which my parents knew).

Bill Maher isn't smart enough to do the math that the reason all the media he grew up on portrayed too young women as sexy is because most of the people producing it were out and proud pedophiles. Also ya know.

It's interesting to imagine, that if by some bizarre political volte face the Kuomintang was the suddenly placed to reunite China from the isle that would not actually please the US at all, because the whole point is to split up China as far as possible to eliminate them as a geopolitical rival. While China being Communist is certainly a grain in the eye of the US, the direct material interest is in preventing a united power block of that size and that ability to challenge US hegemony.

The US cannot accept a united China, regardless of the regime. The US will always be pushing for Congo-style social breakdown.

That was really thoughtful. There were a lot of stories like that during the early days of covid, that guidance from Martin Luther on what to do during a plague was going around, but then cultural discipline took hold and they were reminded what's really important
