    Religion Why is cannibalism glorified by Christianity?

    Receiving Holy Communion is a very special sacrament that is part of the Catholic mass, by receiving Jesus into our body through the Eucharist we affirm our faith in the church. I’m not the best catholic, I don’t go to confession or mass every Sunday but, when I see Nancy Pelosi defying the...

    Debate Are people more afraid of death now than in the past?

    I’m curious whether your belief in a higher power was something that gradually dissolved or if it disappeared quickly following a tragic event in your life. Personally, while my faith sometimes may waver, so far it has never died. No doubt going to Catholic school for eight years ingrained...

    Debate Are people more afraid of death now than in the past?

    Yes, I do believe in an afterlife otherwise, what would point of our existence. Life would be meaningless. It is the process of dying that scares me. Working in healthcare I see it all of the time, terminally ill patients being offered every type of medical treatment and given false hope. My...

    Probably purgatory for me. Reincarnation possibly.

    Debate Are people more afraid of death now than in the past?

    It is ironic how the older we get, the more accepting of our inevitable death we become. My own death is still the scariest thing that I can think of, that or even worse one of my children. Maybe for some people the aches and pains of old age, loneliness and despair become too much and death is...

    Question How do you release stress?

    Cleaning the house is something that I do to relieve stress. The other day I felt particularly stressed out and I took apart my kitchen faucet to get all of the caked on grime that had accumulated in between the various parts. I had a hard time putting it back together, so it kinda defeated...

    Question Did you have an imaginary friend as a child?

    I don’t think that it is beyond the realm of possibility that it could be a supernatural phenomenon.

    Health Anti-vaxxer movement strongest in France

    I don’t know why they call this RNA shot a vaccine. The data seems clear that that it does not give one immunity, it does not stop the spread of infection, and multiple boosters are required to maybe give a bit more protection against the latest COVID-19 variant.

    Climate change How worried are you about climate change?

    What I mean is climate change is bad for humans, not animals and plants, maybe even beneficial for them The main problem is over population and destruction of earths natural habitat. Once the land is destroyed, it is hard to imagine that it can ever be recovered. And the extinct animal...

    Climate change How worried are you about climate change?

    I am not very worried about climate change. I think that rising CO2 levels are not necessarily a bad thing and may actually be a positive factor for the earths flora. I would be more concerned if temperatures were steadily falling and earth was entering into another ice age.

    Personality Is your brain more Western or more Eastern? - part 2

    I think B, because a square peg will never never fit into a round hole. The material is irrelevant.

    Debate Are people more afraid of death now than in the past?

    There are some that say, and I tend to agree that the root of all anxiety, phobia, OCD, mental disorders etc. stems from the fear of death. . . Thanatophobia. It could very well be that because we are so focused on ourselves we have become more afraid of dying then we might have been thousands...

    Debate Q1: If you were to die tomorrow, would you (honestly) be able to say that you would die happy?

    Well said real expert! Happiness is such a fleeting emotion and what you’re saying about chasing after pleasure and instant gratification being a source of depression makes sense to me. Pleasure never lasts and it is a poor substitute for long term happiness. At this stage of my life, I am...

    Debate Q1: If you were to die tomorrow, would you (honestly) be able to say that you would die happy?

    Honestly, how can anyone be happy in such an unhappy world ? So yes, I have hope that something better awaits after life here on earth.

    Health Anti-vaxxer movement strongest in France

    I took the J and J vaccine last week. I didn’t want it, but I gave into the guilt, shame and fear that is being heaped upon the unvaccinated. Now, I feel as though I sold a piece of my soul and honestly, I do not feel like I am anymore immune to this ever mutating disease. Meanwhile in...

    Health Anti-vaxxer movement strongest in France

    I am unaware of any COVID-19 testing that differentiates between regular Covid-19, Delta, Lambda or any other variant. A coworker of mine moonlights at a walk in clinic, that does high volume Covid testing. I asked him about this today and he said that the rapid PCR tests come back positive or...
