@ObviouslyLucifer thank you very much to the intelligent demonic @ObviouslyLucifer love ur lol demon guy 😈😇

Apparently there are multiple theories.

1. What if you consider colors as light.
2. What if you consider colors as pigments.
3. Are you an artist or a scientist.

And they differ on minute details.

So i just end up preferring that answer!

:sweat_smile:

@cant-breathe my point on why white should be a seen as a color lol

According to physics white is a color!
There are 3 basic colors Red, Blue and Green.
And every other color is basically mixing and matching these colors in different proportions.
When white light when passes through a prism, you get a spectrum of colors on the other side.
So white is a mixture of all the colors, so technically a color!

I choose the color white because blue is kind of depressing.

Over the years I have read a few books and I can say this is one of my all time favorites:

Another one would be:

But the masterpiece is this one:

@sarah_the_magpie said in I think it’s easy to realize what I’m here for. Who’s up for it?:

@chrisstonee
i'm assuming that you're here to demonstrate that you lack clothes and you don't have enough money to afford new clothes. aww, you poor thing! maybe we could do some kind of a charity drive to get you new clothes?

@Kahina-JBibi said in I think it’s easy to realize what I’m here for. Who’s up for it?:

@sarah_the_magpie Yeah I think he needs clothes should we do a fund raiser or something? lol

Something like this??

:grin:

@Kahina-JBibi said in Should your government control your diet?:

@ObviouslyLucifer Could you make that a little shorter like summarize it?... because wow thats alot of words

:joy::joy::joy:

It basically means "hell no"

And government can tax bad stuff, but can't say don't eat this or that.

Everyone has free will and government has no business in dictating ones diet.

And since most governments live for vote banks so they will say some shit is scientific and try to enforce their world view on rest of the people who have smaller vote banks.

So NO to government deciding diet.

Governments today are welfare states, so it is expected that the State provide equal opportunity to every citizen to secure means to gain nutritious foods.

Here state can be justified in providing subsidized nutritious foods to those who cannot secure it themselves, due to states failure to provide equal socio-economic opportunities.

Here state may also be justified in protect its subjects from harmful foods by overtaxing alcohol and other high cholesterol foods to prevent incidence of non-communicable diseases.

However its under no condition does the State have a responsibility or power to solve the over consumption and the under consumption crisis. Or in any way try to enforce What foods its subjects should consume based on any research.

Every person has inherent free will and a state cannot take it away to make the world it sees fit. If a person wants to eat unhealthy, non nutritious food the best a state can do is warn him of the consequences, overtax the product as a sin good and hope that person does the right thing.

The moment the state tries to limit consumption of one group of people, it delves into trying to bring equality of the outcomes rather than equality of opportunity. And that as we have seen from USSR is a recipe for disaster.

And talking of regulating diet based on "scientific research" most of the times, its pseudo scientific research backed by religious outfits trying to pass majoritarian sentiments as "scientific". The day states start regulating diet based on such cultural norms, would be end of a secularism, and a step closer to a theocratic society.

@pe7erpark3r said in Change my Mind.:

It seems Islam has the same problem as christianity: scholars go and declare the opposite of what is written in the scriptures as the correct interpretation of the scriptures. As with christianity their arguments are rather weak.
However I do agree that the interpretation that these scholars have of islam – despite being far from the quran itself – indeed benifit society.

India is facing the same thing, except instead of scholars India has courts leading the narrative of better interpretation for benefiting the society.

They have decriminalized homosexuality, declared parochial adultery laws as unconstitutional which treated women as chattel, and broke down hegemony of certain temple trusts and castes about letting women enter the sanctum sanctorum!

So it is better to follow the modern interpretation of the quran and not take every word in it too seriously... or you might end up christian :joy:

As one of my favorite scholars Vir Das has stated they should mix it up bring forth a new religion called Chrislam where you get holidays for both EID and Christmas!

:joy:

And change our mind about strongly held stereotypes about religion.

Our time is fighting stereotypes on any level. And I fully agree, that you should not apply a stereotype ever to judging an individual. However stereotypes do develop naturally (from statistics): 90% of islamic terrorists do look a certain way. 90% of islamic countries have laws that favor men over women. I think it is fair to say, that islam as it is widely practiced does in large parts meet the stereotype. And I think it would be good if it didn't!

Iran is pretty much run by the clerics even today, and Saudi still has some influence of the clerics, however, Mohammad Bin Salman (Crown prince of Saudi Arabia) is doing some changes.
Recent ones include permission to drive by themselves, permission to start a business and travel without permission of the senior most male member of the family. No compulsay abaya for travelers. He still has a long way to go, but its a good start!

But are you sure that the religion of those scholars you quoted is still the same religion? I mean I do call christianity a religion too, but there are various christian denominations/sects, that differ so strong from the original teaching, that I'm not sure it's entirely fair to put them in the same box... Take the "Westboro Babtist Church": they basically advocate for the death sentence of gay people. This is so unchristian that it screams to heaven ("kill the sinner" is so not "who has no sin throw the first stone").

You should join the new Satanist movement!

According to Asma Lamrabet who is a Moroccan doctor, Islamic feminist and author.

"One crucial, unequivocal verse in the Qur’an lays the ground for the concept of equality between men and women: “The believers, men and women, are allies (awliya) of one another. They enjoin the ‘common good’ (al ma‘ruf) and forbid the bad (al munkar), they observe prayers (salat) and give charitable alms (zakat) and obey God and his Prophet”; Qur’an, 9:71."

Lamrabet is a third way feminist, who re-interpret the sacred texts in order to show women as independent beings rather than relational to men. She examines the sacred texts in a scholarly manner, while remembering the cultural context in which they were written.

Furthermore according to her . The Qur’an is unambiguous, and stresses emphatically this close cooperation or wilayah between men and women in socio-political action, before generalizing it to acts of religious ritual.

Dr. Sayed Muhammed Hussein Fadlallah , the Lebanese scholar, reaffirms the egalitarian vision of the Qur’an, which encourages women to be involved in all areas of social and political life, in contrast to the traditional exclusivist understanding that tends to reduce women to their function as wives and mothers, a role that, while important, cannot constitute their unique horizon in life.

Islam certainly has a lot of provisions which promotes over protection, polygamy, violence against women. But these articles were written in 6th century AD and scholarly interpretation on these today actually paints a better picture of at least some provisions in Islam.

So the problem today is improper interpretation about provisions by some theologians, thus we can say the interpreters are wrong and not the religion.

A scholarly interpretation of religious scriptures using a rational attitude can actually help us make a better society. So instead of blaming religions we should hold the individuals who interpret religions in a reductive manner to benefit their cause, accountable.

And change our mind about strongly held stereotypes about religion.

Thou shan't escape thy devil!

When I need a good meme, he is there. (Except he shares too many god damn superhero memes.

Superheroes tell us we can be better than who we are!
They give us hope, that no matter how bad things get, you can always find a way.
But most importantly they teach us, no matter how many times you get put down, you always have to find a reason get back up, because the only thing standing in between our lives and oblivion is our faith that we can be better.
