    the paganism I practice can be summed up.

    heres what I believe.

    mother earth needs our respect.

    Hades the god underworld judges us when we die.

    Poseidon controls the sea.

    That its fine to practice witchcraft.(while nobody gets hurt)

    this is what I believe in as a pagan. 

    Interpert it however you wish.

    Ahh that would make you a Pantheist.

    because of these beliefs ive clashed quite a bit with judeo- Christians on more then 1 occasion.

    so let me ask you this is this choice gonna affect my chances of getting a job?

    so on so forth?

    Me being atheist didn't really affect me getting a paid internship at a decent company in the middle of the Bible Belt, so probably not. Although Buddhism seems to be a popular pagan religion... you might try that. :)

    I always thought it was be the other way around, a movie with a male protagonist gets ridiculed by SJWs.

    Exactly this. With the exception of the Ghost Busters Reboot, I've never  heard anyone call a movie with a female protagonist "Feminist Propaganda" .

  4. Weed also has other uses other than medical ones. Its immensely cheap to produce, and products made from it are fully biodegradable, making it ideal for making recyclable paper. Its fibers are strong enough in some strains that it can be woven into cheap and effective fabric.

    So do these statistics apply to feminist beliefs and racial demographics? Or only religion? People tend to circumstantially back peddle on the standards they hold, in an attempt to seem subjectively accepted, its just the cool new craze to hate christians, and people have had an extensive history hating jws

    If I used feminist logic, Christians would be a "privileged class" and id be using tumblr articles to justify and advocate for violence and hatred of Christians and other theistic religions.

    Lets just be clear I don't HATE the people that follow theistic religions, I hate the beliefs themselves.

    I've seen a LOT of "studies" in my life. As @Rose Coil pointed out, sounds more like you've got a chip on your shoulder and would like to paint religious people as bad. Gives you a really convenient excuse to stay prejudiced against a bunch of people.

    I trust statistics, science and logic over my emotions. If I went by my emotions, maybe I would be prejudiced against religious people. But I'm not. The numbers support my thoughts and beliefs, and if they didn't, my beliefs would change. That doesn't make me Prejudice. That makes me a very logical person that values critical thinking over petty emotions and irrational unprovable beliefs.

  7. Most of their direct to DVD movies are pretty terrible....   The worst theatrical release from Disney in my opinion is a toss  up between Chicken Little and The Doug Movie. Chicken Little makes no sence in context of its own universe and its just so MEAN, while Doug's First Movie is boring, lackluster and highly inconsistent to its source material.

    I haven't read the pages yet, but I would be curious of the more specific details of that.

    I BELIEVE that religious people outnumber aethists in general in the world.

    Many prisoners find religion AFTER being thrown in there.

    And lastly, you can say you're part of any group under the sun. I know a ton of people that claim they believe in something because they were tangentially related to it in someway. I've seen many people identify as Christian for no other reason than "I went to a Catholic school". But otherwise, they do/believe NOTHING related to the belief system at all.

    EDIT add-on: Believing in the possibility of a greater force in the universe doesn't mean you actually obey any kind of moral system. And NOT believing doesn't mean you're a generally good person either.

    And believing that its ok to murder someone on a whim doesn't mean they will do it. But no one in  their right mind is going to say that the belief itself is justified, or a good belief to have.

    There is no study (that I could find at least) that looks at conversion rates from atheist to theistic religions In prison, so you cannot assume that a significant amount of jailed atheists converting is to blame for the large number of theists I prison. 

    Furthermore, atheist populations are increasing, but rates of crime among them aren't growing in a significant way.

    There is definitely a correlation between religions is the Judeo-Christian family  (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) and violence/crime.

    Because the non-religious never do bad things.

    Never said that, but since you bring it up.................

    https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-U-S-prison-inmates-believe-in-God

    http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/why-atheists-make-85-percent-americas-scientists-and-07-percent-its-prison

    While atheists do commit crimes like all other groups, religious groups tend to make up much larger section of prison populations than atheists

    Theists commit a disproportionate amount of crime compared to atheists.

    Well it's not "pushing it down your throat" as long as they're merely sharing it with you. You HAVE the right to ask someone if they'd like to discuss a topic, theological, moral, political, what have you.

    If you respectfully decline and they respectfully cease to come around to your house, then no harm done.

    Some people seem to believe the mere mention of someone else's personal beliefs is "shoving it down their throats". I call it, "grow a spine and get out of your bubble once or twice".

    That's not what I'm talking about... I have no qualms with someone sharing what they believe in.... I have qualms with uninvited  quests at my doorstep, legislation based on religious beliefs, religious violence, slam campaigns against atheists EXC.

    No one is saying it's hard. We're mainly discussing the ethical and long term ramifications of adding a taboo like section that can 

    A) be accessed easily by lying (who lies on the Internet right? 

    2) be viewed as a step backwards to a seemingly fun filled and family friendly enviroment. (Let's be honest some people still think mlp is for girls and kids) 

    And D) be a discouraging factor to some users vs he ones who absolutely must have it (because we don't have clop anywhere else in the entire web) 

     

    No mention of hard is there. Though how you've missed that makes me wonder a few things. :)

    Its only taboo because of short-sightedness. there is nothing unethical about providing a section where it is safe to critique and/or discuss adult art, however the hatred by anti-cloppers has painted it as some "sinful" or "evil thing.

    People who are discouraged by it can choose not to view the content.

     

    My point is that literally every other sub group of the Brony fandom is catered too here, EXCEPT the clop community. Its discrimination, and cleverly worded dribble, and political speech doesn't do a good job of masking it.

    PII means personal identifiable information and PID is personal identifiable data. Others refer to it as SPI. There is 'direct' and 'linked' PII. An age gate would not protect every minor. A proper risk assessment should be done by staff on protocols and internal policy that the users don't see or experience, but they do. 

    Its not the forums job to protect minors. Its not anyone's job but the parents to dictate what they can/cannot see. What a policy like this does is cause unnecessary censorship, and forces an ideological agenda.... Its also a policy that alienates an entire subset of the fandom, which is very Unloving, and non-tolerating of the forums to do.

  13. Man I'm looking foreword to this movie.... It's gonna be better than Food Fight, Scooby Doo meets Kiss, and Suicide Squad (all 3 epic masterpieces). Hollywood has definently outdone themselves with this idea.

     

    Btw I enjoy sarcasm.
