Publish a movie full of young girls dancing provocatively in stripper attire: I sleep

Misuse of money: REAL SHIT!!!

We must all do our part to curb carbon emissions.

No not like that!

“Funny” has a much broader connotation than what you’re suggesting. In this case it’s funny because the truth doesn’t align with what is expressed by his critics.

We need a common foundation around which any coherent society can centre themselves. In order for that to propagate beyond a single generation, ideas must be passed down in some form for others later to still understand why things are as they are. We simply don’t have a perfect answer, and never will without knowing all of everything which ever has and ever will happen.

No matter how divinely inspired any text may be, it will ultimately suffer from the imperfections of the limited human ability to convey ideas amongst each other, and over thousands of years it becomes corrupt. This is obviously exacerbated by those who would deliberately seek to derive power from it, in ignorance of any truth which may have been professed at the origin.

Discussion is absolutely possible as to interpretations, specifically amongst those who actually hold the reigns of power.

How about committing genocide because genetic science proves that your race has superior genes? The problem is with people’s behaviours themselves, regardless of what excuses someone uses to justify them.

The problem is that it’s not just make believe bullshit, but over thousands of years, and being abused repeatedly by those seeking to derive power from it, the original message/intent gets lost entirely.

I doubt you ever will.

I would suggest that’s because you’re looking at it from a narrow perspective. There is a lot more going on in human life than just that. As generally monogamous creatures, a near even split makes a lot of sense.

Maybe they shouldn’t have murdered all their female babies?

Welcome to the digital age.

How are they going to break record profits quarter after quarter if your pants don’t wear out weekly?

Imagine demanding that the world make sense to you.

So by implication, the more prominent leaders of the Taliban don’t have souls?

Unironically, public figures within the social systems we have developed really do have to act more as a figure than a person.

I don’t care what your fancy RAMrod doohickeys say Johnson! We need that system up tomorrow so we can reach our quarterly earning projections for the shareholder’s meeting!

Yea… I’m not so sure that doing the exact opposite of what is causing voters to swing conservative is how you win them over.

This is what you get when you submit to psychopaths.

If your world view requires you to proactively hate people for disagreeing with it, as much as is happening here, you might want to reconsider your beliefs.

Literally not.
