As a native american thank you.

@generationX

You are the one who made the argument, I was using it as an axiom.. you asserted:

> But the root cause of hatred is religion

I was disproving that it was the root cause of hatred by showing examples of hatred where religion is not involved as a cause, and therefore is not the **root** cause of all hatred.

Seems you were trying to say something other than what you said.

Hi, wanted to let you know I implemented AP on my static site, I incorperated some of your code.

In fact, I fixed quite a few huge bugs (your code actually didnt work-as-is), as well as added quite a few new features and reworked how you did a few things. But despite that you were a HUGE help so thank you.

I am contacting you in case you wished to backport my fixes (though you would have to adopt my license) to your site.. If you have issues with the license let me know and I can make an exception for you of course.

You can see my static site using the code here: https://flear.org and you can follow the account associated with it here: @flear

Let me know if I can help with anything. I have added you to the list of people who contributed code in the source to ensure you get appropriate credit.

@lxo agreed

@joosteto

Any amount of inequality is ok, so long as those with no many remain with a good quality of life and so long as there is equal oppertunity (not outcome) to move along the income spectrum... **if** those two things are met then even income inequality in the most extreme is ok.

As to your point "money makes them so powerful as to treaten democracy itself"... that is a problem with democracy, not money. Yes it should be fixed, by ensuring democracy cant be bought, not by taking away peoples money.

@nithou

I've been working on it actively and its making a lot of progress. Should have a version with good documentation and easy to implement up real soon.

@smallcircles

@generationX You will have to explain how you feel i am confusing those two in my conclusion, because I dont see it.

And **you** may not know many of them that are hateful, but that is your biases at work, not reality. There is no shortage of hateful atheists.

@generationX

Political parties seem to be doing a wonderful job at controlling atheists in almost the same ways (functionally speaking) as religion. At least in the USA, the parties havent quite gotten that bad in other countries (though they too have their own things that are used to take advantage)

@jgg

@generationX

If you think the root cause of all hatred is religion then yea, I dont think your going to be able to approach this discussing in a objective way obviously.

I mean it doesnt add up, if that were true we wouldnt have so many hateful atheists, in fact atheists wouldnt demonstrate hate at all. But they do.

@TruthSandwich Wait, are you claiming all anti-zionists are always anti-semites?

@generationX

I think you have some crusade against religion and it is just painting your perspective on everything...r ather than the other way around, trying to learn the situation and concluding it is religion.

@admitsWrongIfProven

@generationX

You clearly never lived there... Religion has nothing to do with the hatred.

I am guessing you also have a highly biased view towards religion and thus blame a lot of the worlds problems on it.. you are probably trying to justify that beleif rather than understand what is going on there (which would lead you to the clear answer that it has nothing to do with religion).

Anyone who spent time there wouldnt even think it was a religious thing.. cultural maybe, but not religious.

@jgg

@generationX It has little to nothing to do with religion.. Many on both sides are non-religious and they have just as much hate for the other side. You will not find that the hate is in any way concentrated among the religious over there.

The reasons are quite obvious.. because the other side killed their friend and family, nothing more, nothing less... so now they want them dead in return.

Even the start of it had nothing to do with religion, it had to do with a country being occupied by another, and that occupation was not one related to religion (it was about relocating them post nazis since so many were displaced).

@lxo

I can both see and interact with mine, anyone who can reach a deep meditative state has expiernced it.

It is fromt his expiernce, and sharing it with others capable of reaching the mental state, it seems clear to me that there is one other such second mind, and that we interact with it. Since this other mind and my own see eachother as seperate (or atleast I see it as seperate) it seems clear to me they are not perceived as one, once one is able to "see" it at all (normally you arent aware of it, in which case I suppose you can say they are seen as one during normal operations :) )

@jgg

Yes it is getting pretty scary.

@TruthSandwich

@generationX

What they are doing to eachother has very little to do with religion, even though it may appear that way ont he surface.

@LouisIngenthron Disgusting, though we have been supporting the Genocide of Palestine for a while now.
