I wonder what Andy would say if it was pointed out to him that Muslims make up a large chunk of the world's Creationists?

REminder Andy, like Rick "Baby jar" Santorum both say they're Catholic, but are part of the extreme regressive part that hated 2nd Vatican.

First, please read the article Protestant cultural legacies. The effects of cultural legacies are often very longstanding (Malcolm Gladwell points this out this matter in his book Outliers). Norway has a Lutheran cultural legacy.

Second, I suspect there is a positive correlation between wealth and Olympics sports medals attainment and not only does Norway have a Protestant cultural legacy, but it has a large amount of oil wealth as well. In addition, it has been cheating in terms of its NATO obligations (which helps its economy, but hopefully President Donald J. Trump cracks down on Norway leeching off the USA in terms of its defense budget).[57]

Third, Norway is a cold country which certainly helps it in the Winter Olympics. Let's see the Norweigans compete against the more religious Kenyans in the Summer Olympics in the event of marathon running.

Fourth, let's compare apples with apples. Are religious Norweigans more athletic than nonreligious Norweigans? Given the data in the article Sports performance: Religious faith vs. atheism, I suspect that this is so.

Sweden is more liberal than Norway[58] and liberals have a greater propensity to having problems when it comes to bestiality in terms of advocating it and engaging in it (see: Liberalism and bestiality). And although Norwegians have received some bad press regarding bestiality[59], it is the more liberal Sweden that has received considerably more bad press regarding its recent past problems with bestiality (see: Bestiality and Sweden). By the way, unlike atheists, not a single prominent, Bible believing, Protestant has ever indicated that bestiality is ever morally acceptable (See: Atheism and bestiality )! I feel so sorry for Swedish poodles, horses and sheep ! If only the prominent atheists PZ Myers and Peter Singer would step up to the morality plate and indicate that bestiality is always wrong! If sled dog racing where an Olympic sport, given the way the Swedish have treated animals, no doubt they would continually underperform in this event despite their Protestant cultural legacy.

Canada, where religion is doubly as important, affirmed the legality of bestiality.

King me, athetists.

Ugh. Looks like one of those "the law was written specifically like this, so we’re sticking with that definition until Parliament makes a new law." I get the reasoning, it just feels like a stretch to limit it that way.

And that was with the bestiality, which was apparently the most serious charge. What'd it get cut down to?

You guys don't seem to be buying the idea that we aren't really moral agents because we lack free will.

Another bitter cold front mimicking the Beast From The East will hit Britain this weekend — sending temperatures plummeting to as low as 26.6 degrees fahrenheit just a fortnight before Easter.[7]

Hopes for the arrival of spring are dashed. It comes just weeks after Britain ground to a halt under intense blizzards from The Beast and Storm Emma.

Global warming?

The wealthier country of Switzerland, a beacon of European creationism[8], is generally better prepared for winter than Britain as it has an adequate amount of snow removal equipment to handle winter storms

Let me guess: the movie conservative because Wakanda is isolationist?

RagnarokAngel posted:

Conservatives have been passing around a meme that the stupid libs dont understand how Black Panther is pro Trump because the main character wont allow in refugees and chooses to focus on his own people, ignoring the central conflict of the film and how in the end he decides isolating themselves was wrong.

SocketWrench posted:

Wait, weren't they like denouncing this prior to it's release?

Twelve by Pies posted:

There's also the fact that Black Panther has actually been criticized by some leftists for portraying black liberation as a bad/dangerous thing. One person even said "Wakandans give a white CIA agent Wakandan tech to kill other Wakandans to stop their tech going to Wakandans who were going to stage a global uprising of the oppressed." (Though I assumed the supply ships were unmanned, like his ship was.)

His last words didn't even make any sense.

Obviously his ancestors weren't the ones who jumped from slave ships to die in the ocean, they had to be the ones that reached America and gave birth to the next generation.

The problem is though that Killmonger is only using black liberation as a front to reshape the world with him as it's sole ruler. He doesn't say "The oppressed will gain self determination and be allowed to form their own systems of organization." He says "The sun will never set on the Wakandan Empire".

Lightning Knight posted:

I think this is taking his words too literally tbh.

Edit: in context of the film, I think the point is that Killmonger is rejecting BP’s and his own royal roots in favor of his American slave past, which obviously should ring hollow since he was just trying to take the throne using his royal roots, but is also profound in the fact that he can claim that background while BP can’t.


This is on point tho. Killmonger is presented by the movie as a fallen hero, a guy who had the right idea but who was consumed by his own toxic background and hate. He would’ve been the hero, but he was denied that by the sins of his fathers.

People like Conservapedia and the manosphere interpreting the movie as conservative or pro-Trump blatantly haven’t understood the film, since it goes out of its way to say that Wakanda’s isolation and lack of engagement with the world was a bad thing. Like there’s a scene of the main character yelling at the people responsible asking them why they’ve done what they’ve done to people like Killmonger.

Yeah, reading conservative interpretations of BP is insane, none of them seem like they actually saw the movie. Almost as if they only read some wikipedia article on Wakanda and came up with an awful take on it.
