Commented in No, Atheists Don't Owe Any Respect To Your Religion
As an atheist,I've felt that way towards religion since I was a pre teen. Your not special cause you sit in a building every week and pay some dude to tell you how to live your life in the hopes of going to a special place that does not sound that interesting.

Commented in Food futurology: What will we be eating 10 years from now?
I sincerely doubt this will happen since we have the short intestines and small cecum of a carnaviior/omnivorous being . Also,on average.1 in 12 us us have IBS and one in 100 have IBD and such a diet is not going to fly with us.
In a nutshell,there is not a "protein craze." Humans have always eaten this way. There is a vegan craze with a relentless pushing of the vegan religion on all comers.
Remember how insects were pushed as a food source and how well that worked out? I believe those who refuse to get in lock step with a small,but vocal minority will be vindicated.
People who write such pieces presume incorrectly that because they eat no meat means everyone should do the same,ignoring science,anatomy, evolution,everyone being different and some having medical problems precluding such a diet. The long term consequences of removing fat/meat from the human diet are only recently being investigated. What seed oils do to humans is not a fun ride, but I digress.
Add to that, even those without gi problems are not going to eat this way because we need meat and-animal fat to function normally. Some people will,of course. Not much research has been done on the consequences of eating such a diet,but I feel more will be learned as time goes on.
In my history,you can find lots of links dealing with this subject and I'd just as soon not add more. . Unless our intestines are impressively altered so we become hind gut ferminters and unless our microbiome changes to allow us to process veg matter like rabbits do,humans will continue to eat what we evolved to eat. And vegans will continue to demand we stop.

Commented in We Want Grief To Follow a Timeline. It Doesn’t
Every culture and religion has a different grief timeline as well. Go to a church and they will give you a distinct timeline your suppose to follow.

Commented in Is Racism a Mental Illness?
That’s a really well-written piece
there’s a definite neural process called “speciation” which in part is a result of learned behavior, yes but which is nevertheless neurological and incorrectly in the mind of an individual classifies other people as members of a different species based on differences in creed or ethnicity in general
whether that’s a disorder or not I cannot comment but it is well understood and studied and that knowledge should result in some sort of legislation against people evoking or irritating the phenomenon as it clearly results in systemic problems that actively harm people; problems which can and should be avoided
however, such a thing would not only spell the end of hate news for profit and social media advertising but would also lead down a slippery slope for corporate marketing in general and organized religion peddlers too so I suspect it would be viciously opposed (perhaps ironically, by appealing to the very same neurological mechanisms)

Commented in If you think about it, animals can't be the only way to transform plants into meat
However,humans are not herbaviours. And for a variety of reasons, we need the micro nutrients in meat. All this plant based pushing has to do with religion and not with how humans evolved to eat as a species.

Commented in Religion’s Smart-People Problem
There is also the atheist stupid-people problem: if we remove religion from the equation, nobody would be religious but the vast majority of people would still be too stupid to resist believing in any of the stupid things from the vast set of stupid things that can be believed
case in point: anti-vaxxers
Can’t really blame religion for that one

Commented in What Happens to Your Brain When You Stop Believing in God
I never felt religion was important and stopped going to church at 13.
When I began to see my colorful Bible as boring and childish, those same reward circuits likely became less active. Religious experiences produced less pleasure. This happens involuntarily in people with Parkinson's disease, which compromises the brain's reward centers. In turn, Anderson tells me, people who develop Parkinson's are much more likely to lose their faith.
One of my cousins has this and is super religious,I wonder if she will become an atheist?

Commented in There’s no sharp distinction between cult and regular religion
The difference between religion and a cult is that religion requires an acceptance of irrational beliefs without questioning, as opposed to a cult, which instead requires an acceptance of irrational beliefs without questioning.
The main difference being that some of the irrational beliefs are more popular than the others.

Commented in The Real Reason Why Fewer Americans Think Religion Matters
This is how I've felt most of my life.
When we feel like we are in control, like we can find the answers on our own, we are less interested in what religion has to offer in these areas. The more powerful we think we are, the less likely we are to turn to a greater power. If, for example, we think we have all the answers (or can get them on our own), we’re less likely to turn to religion when we have a question.

Commented in Men and Women Equality in The Bible
Unless that one true religion is blogspam and that one true god is monetization, I'm not sure what representation is actually happening here. Near as I can tell there's no signal at all in this noise. Oh… i see what you mean. So meta.

Commented in A black student refused to recite the Pledge of Allegiance — challenging Texas law requiring it
So if I’m an atheist, I should still pledge allegiance to a Nation under God? I thought we had freedom on religion?
I guess that means freedom to choose a religion, but you can’t not have one.
