Let's talk about our religious and political orientations.
Whatever George Harrison was, that's what I wanna be.
>>265182Honestly >>265083 Is pretty much how I feel about it. It's hard to generalize a very sophisticated system of beliefs and ideas into a small red dot on a 4 quadrant plane.
>>265190Ain't it just wonderful when people fill these things out for you?
deal w/ it
>>265222<3
>>265111>don't like agnostic theistsHaters, hate, etc.
>>265226< 3
I fairly certain I don't understand what these terms mean.
>>265228Athiest: There is/are no god(s)Gnostic: We can know exactly what god(s) is/areTheist: There is/are a god(s)Agnostic: We cannot know what god(s) is/areLeft: People should all help each otherAuthoritarin: The government should be involved in our livesRight: People should stand on their own two feetLibertarian: The government should stay out of our lives
>>265222I feel pretty close to that myself. A little less certain and a little more communist, I guess.
But let it be known that I truly love you all.As people.
>>265178He's just playing it like an overly cautious twat, as always. I don't get why that would get on your nerves.
>>265285Haters gonna hate.
>>265288Wait so are you the hater hating on NEET or is Tremaine the Hater hating on you for hating on NEET?
>>265304I hope it's not the latter. I like Chappy...It's the former.
>>265305Ferro, I bear you no animosity.
Unorthodox (Teilhardist, non-gay hating, doesn't believe in Papal infallibility) Roman Catholic; likes Taoist and Buddhist ideas.Politically I'm a patriotic moderately libertarian: I'm not an anarcho-capitalist or Objectivist, I just want less government, less spending, lower taxes, looser gun and drug laws, and sensible regulations. I believe in as much personal liberty as possible, but also justice, and that the government needs to protect people's lives, property, and rights, and has a duty to provide people with the services which are both necessary and which the free market cannot provide-courts, roads, police, fire, national defense, etc. I believe in democracy, but also in protection of the minority from abuses by the majority. If I had my way I'd abolish the electoral college, require a candidate receive the majority of the national popular vote and a majority of the popular vote in a majority of the states elect the president, term limits for senate and congress, anti-nepotism laws (Bush Jr. should never have been able to run, and why the hell could Hillary run? We could have had Bush-Clinton-Clinton-Bush-Bush-Clinton, and might get Hillary in four years!), national referendums (A 55% popular vote or higher to abolish a law passed by Congress, 2/3 supermajority required to pass a law), Presidential recall elections, and public funding for all electoral campaigns.
>>265284and here i thought i was going to be original~i seem to have no real political views, although my pitiful australian is providing a bit of entertainment in it's silliness
>>265178Imagine being a scientist in medieval Europe:Would you rather say that the king and church is wrong and risk terrible torture, or just say "Sure, whatever you say sir." and go about your way.Even Galileo knew how to keep his mouth shut and hide his work until the time was right.
>>265331The difference is you are under no direct threat. Hell, social ostracization wouldn't even hurt you. You're pretty much a court jester, dude.
>>265331Here's your answer.
>>265331I'm no revolutionary but I do believe that we must do what we can for what we believe in.throwing your life away is foolish, but when faced with a real chance to make the world a better place is it not a moral obligation to ourselves to take it!?
>>265342I'm all for revolutions. As long as others do it. I'll be in my bunk.
>>265372>I like to watch.fix'd
A wise man once taught me that God is like a great potato in the sky.
>>265489So if you zap God in the microwave for about five minutes, and add some butter, chives, sour cream, cheese and bacon bits to his open corpse, He is delicious?
>So if you zap God in the microwave for about five minutes, THEN IN THE OVEN TO MAKE THE SKIN CRISP and add some butter, chives, sour cream, cheese and bacon bits to his open corpse, He is delicious?fixd
>>265518Dammit, Señor, I'm salivating.
>>265519Who doesn't want to eat a god?
>>265521Probably someone like this.
>>265489That's redonkulus.If anything, God's a Pizza.
I've distanced myself from the libertarian party, I used to be a card-carrying member. But, the teabaggers are a lot I do not want to be even near. So, now I sit in the moderate section, so right in the middle.As for religion, who needs a god when I got this?
Too lazy to MS paint.Religious:I guess Agnostic with the extreme in uncertainty, I figure if anything is up there, whatever it is if they are a cool guy then they'll let me in if I'm nice to people.Political: I believe every man is entitled to the sweat of his brow, if you do nothing you get nothing, of course exceptions much be made in the case of the enfeebled and that EVERYONE has the right to vote on any matter.
>>265521Non-Catholics? *rimshot*
Tex Kennedy for a New America.
I hate when people describe themselves using economic theory it makes them sound like complete assbagsyes there are different schools of though at a higher level of academic discussion but..DON'T MAKE A ECON 101 CLASS ABOUT WHY YOU HATE THE FEDalso here's something that blows most peoples mindsfriedmen was a extension of kenysian thought
I don't see the point in arguing with/avoiding people over opinions. As long as someone isn't a ranting lunatic or a complete jerk, we're solid.
Is it wrong that I just don't care about politics at all anymore? :I
>>265865Certainly not.
>>265822How cute.
>>265865Just so long as you don't complain about anything political ever.
>>265994 I don't see how that follows.
>>265994I don't complain about much at all, really. Mostly just the weather.
>>265545I just registered as a libertarian. Can't abide teabaggers, just didn't want to be in the main two parties.I guess I'd be in the lower right of the Religious diagram, kind of left-wing libertarian on the Political. But I'm not really out and adamant about anything except for my support of queer rights, third parties, and my complete disgust with the two-party system.
>>266181>Can't abide teabaggers, just didn't want to be in the main two parties. I've heard that NPA is currently the most rapidly growing affiliation or some such.
>>266181You can register as an independent. :|
>>266419yeah, but I want to vote in primaries.
>>266000If you choose to not participate in the system, you can't complain when things don't go the way you like it.
Where I standNote that I fixed the choice window since you can't be "completely undecided" on atheism or theism, the same way pure fascism can't lean in either of the directionsBy the way, your right graph is off, the middle axis should be "socialist - mercantilist"
