"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.” - Richard Dawkins

Is there a way to stop a mother from hitting her child or throwing things at her or like even saying mean things like "you were a mistake", "I hate you", "get out of my sight", etc. I know a person who is probably being extremely abused and it is getting to the point of extreme abuse. Recently this mother threw a plate at her daughters back and some of the shards got stuck in her back. This person has been punched, kicked, slapped, thrown around, slandered, neglected, etc. Is there a way to stop the abuse?
Humans should follow the laws of survival of the fittest. If you are weak then try to become stronger. "Only the strongest will survive" - Breaking Benjamin (Musical Group). If you can't get stronger then you lose. If you are string you can pass those "strong" traits on to your offspring. Like natural selection or something.
Based of the movie "In Time" everybody was born with 25 years of life. You purchase things with your time and get paid in time. If you are a wealthy business owner you may have more than 1,000+ years to lives plus anything you make. If you are poor however you may lose time because you live in the slums where theives and gangs who steal time from you are their. Each area you live in is based on your class. For example in zone 12 a person on average may have 100,000+ years on their wrist. However in zone 1 you may see dead people frequently because they clocked out. You stop aging at 25 so if you have 25 more years for example you will still look 25 even though you are really 50. If this was established would this work on a global scale?
Me and Lizzie are going to a wild party (Lizzie's First) but she is very nervous. Do you guys have any tips for her or me that we can use to stay "safe"?
This isnt my opinion but I want to hear from you all. Lesbians are always manly. They were mens clothes and even act like men. Do you agree or disagree? Once again I do not believe in this.
Abby: It would make more sense for God to be non existent.
Lizzie: Well I think God was just an extraterrestrial.
Abby: No way. How so?
Lizzie: Well if an advanced civilization existed and came to earth with more scientific knowledge than we have then things in the bible would make sense. Like an alien that tried to civilize us with these stories and they may be true. But the time refferences were just made up in order to make us believe he is more powerful than anything imaginable.
Abby: I think it was just big bang then us. No divine intervention what so ever or extraterrestrial intervention.
Lizzie: But you have to admit, this would make somethings in the bible clear and we could understand why there may be contradictions and what not in the bible.
Abby: True. But I think most people would rather believe than that didnt occur in any way shape or form.
Lizzie: Well I think God is an extraterrestrial and you think that this never happened like it was just big bang and thats it. Right?
Abby: Yep.
Which event makes more sense to you?
Recently a kid in my club came in with a swastika on his t-shirt. Some students were shocked and some were offended. Others didnt care. A staff member made him change his shirt. He said they cant do that because that's against his freedom of speech: symbolism. Is he correct?
