So pleased it all went well Rebecca. The magic pillows are a hoot, I like your pronunciation of kapok - here in the UK we say kaypok (though we spell it kapok) with emphasis on the first syllable and it's nice to hear a different version. Have a great time :-)

 Well looks like you really have to reach to find that, I guess any feminist will do in your book because they are all the same right? You really can just judge a whole group of people based on a very stereotypes huh? I should be more clear that I don't just mean you, I mean everyone needs to get over their side that they are allowing themselves to be blinded by. You have to make your own jokes here by trolling because this video isn't even about the topic you literally came here to start fights about. Sure ya it is your time do what you want with it but at the end of the day is sure isn't making the world a better place or helping your cause at all.

Not terribly surprising, but still offers an interesting perspective.

I made this before his idiotic comments about net neutrality. It's tough to keep up with this guy.

The Pope believes in evolution and the Big Bang Theory! Welcome to, well, the 20th century I guess.

Feminists have always been accused of being man-hating matriarchists. The exact same terms and slurs have been around since the suffragettes.

And humanism, in the context of "equal rights" has the baggage of both being a strange and unclear label (as humanism historically is opposed to fundamentalism, not patriarchy) and of it's primary use being to derail the fight for women's rights.

+Codi Johnson Sure, dummy.  Blacks only dominate the games they play.  Games they don't try out for should obviously be considered games they aren't any good at.
I'm  sure there are a lot of white girls who can consistently beat Serena Williams.

 'Privilege' is just a buzzword, it doesn't signify anything but the bias of the person using it.

Routine infant circumcision is a silly practice with no practical benefits. It needs to end.

The circumcision rate among adult white native born Americans may exceed 95%. A psychological fact is that circumcised fathers often are obsessed with getting their sons circumcised. For tens of millions of adult Americans, the bellend that is bare 24/7 is all they know. The natural penis strikes them as bizarre and repugnant, as a mood killer for sex. Americans see circumcision and its pain as a necessary evil that must be experienced in order to assure that the penis is socially acceptable. This mindset owes nothing to religion, and everything to a shallow conformity.

You can't predict earthquakes, but you can refuse to be the puppet of a corrupt government.

If politicians were held responsible for deaths due to their incorrect pronouncements, they would all be in gaol, well almost all. I have a tendency to fall foul of confirmation bias myself but, luckily, my skeptic friends only have to sigh slightly and I am ably corrected; it's a very, very common fault that most people have - politicians perhaps more than most - when it suits them

+Pierre Thierry I don't think you got my specific meaning of "unknowable". If our only way of knowing heaven or hell exists is to die, that would be unknowable because no dead person can transfer that knowledge to me, and I can't transmit it back after death to anybody. The existence of God is then also unknowable. Claiming God is real by belief, faith or personal salvation is in my semantics knowing the unknowable. 

I'm trying to understand you, but you are losing me. You were previously claiming that I acted on faith in my daily life, but I claimed that I had knowledge that I acted on. Now your definition of faith seems to be such that you were misusing it in the previous interchange and that I was right; I don't live or act on faith. 

Also, if a person of faith says to me that they know their is the God of Abraham, are they not doing it on faith? Is saying I think their's the God of Abraham more indicative of faith? Do you have to say you believe their is the God of Abraham to be doing it on faith? And how would you even know that their was an Abraham, or his God among the god's if you didn't get taught about it based on books and other credible evidence? Would true faith have to come out of people naturally without them being taught about a religion?
