I'm serious. You're adding complexity that doesn't have to be there. Think about it; all those socialist programs you want, hell those are things I don't care about, but those things are impossible as long as the left operates like this.

California just shut down their own single payer healthcare bill. Democrats pulled it. When the rubber meets the road you can't have your programs as long as you encourage third world demographics to supplant the white conservative vote.

And conservatives are hardly better they practically nut when they think of magic soil that turns everyone into conservative Americans. Doesn't happen. What is the lefts defense for importing the entire world at the end of the day? A fucking poem on a plaque on the Statue of Liberty. You know what? As many confederate monuments get taken down yearly why don't we take down that monument to?
Pretty much is The Statue of Liberty itself is in a sad state and Ellis Island has been closed for decades.

Step 1: Figure out best kind of boat.
Step 2: Make country it.

Should be easy team!

Harris always came across as generally left to me, leaning right on a few issues. First opened the thread because of the skeptic tagline- Harris is pretty open about his "God is dead" attitude.

If the Decline thread brought up the horror show of atheism is not a belief system, should we try a slightly different approach here?

Is God dead?

I think Nietzsche was right but the entire quote is illuminating. He predicted the nihilism and totalitarianism of the 20th century. And we are still dealing with the aftershocks of that realization. You can't blowout an entire framework of belief and value and think that it won't create massive chaos. So what should we do now? Idk maybe try to create our own values and/or embrace the value and truth of the old myths.

So life is meaningless without some deity I am supposed to believe with no other evidence other than the fact a bunch of other people believe in it?
