Today I gave a presentation titled, "Why All Religion Is Wrong" in my "Skills Applications" class, which is basically just dumb projects in home room after lunch. It was positively received by fellow atheists in the class and theists alike, though I was criticized for my relentlessness. I wish I could present to my entire school.

How would I even go about doing that?

If it was a powerpoint, put it on the internet and post the link.

Albenia wrote:Might I see it?

I don't know if you'd really like it btw, the section on Mormonism is where I particularly get into the slandering

plus most of the slide only have a few words, most of my speech is on notecards, so I don't know if it would have the same affect unless I found out where you guys live and came to your houses and presented there.

In AP Gov last week I gave what was supposed to be a presentation but turned into a passionate lecture on (melodramatic title alert) "The Resilience of Freedom". I got my rubric back, 100 + good comments! :)

As Im told, Im good with words and people...

You slandered Mormonism? Why lie about it? WHAT DID YOU LIE ABOUT?

You can make lies about our religion?

I knew you would freak out, but this is what I talked about, right from the keynote by bullet point:

How Joseph Smith was a known liar even before he wrote the Book of Mormon

How it's ridiculous he says he saw God and Jesus in the forest

How it's ridiculous he looked in a magic hat, read golden script written in 19th century english, and translated it into 16th century english, which is in itself absurd

Stupid Polygamy

Your guys' "magical underwear"

I ripped on how God all of a sudden changed his mind about blacks during the 70s when racism became unpopular and mormonism experienced a decline, and God shifted his hate to gays all of a sudden

The last bullet is literally, "This Is Obviously A Heaping Pile of Garbage."

Okay. 1. God wasn't against blacks. It's kinda Ironic in the BoM he cursed them with dark skin (Not black skin) but the people cursed became the Righteous people.

I think most of thats true. (True that its lies, so I agree)

Ipian wrote:Did you have one on Lutheranism?

No but I hit on Christianity in general and Catholicism, which I particularly hate because that is what most of my family is and it's annoying. Here is the full set list in order:

Disclaimer asking people not to get butthurt at my Keynote which will challenge their beliefs

Intro of why the Bible isn't "proof" of God necessarily

Christianity

Catholicism

*Slide about how stupid praying is*

*Slide about how it isn't fair that Native Americans have to go to Hell because they didn't know about Christianity until Europeans came over*

Judaism

Islam

Buddhism

Hinduism

Mormonism

JW

Scientology

Other religions

Then I talk about why science is the obviously superior choice

Mural to famous scientists

"I challenge you all to challenge everything, and open up your minds."

So God singled out one group of people for others to hate on them? That doesn't seem very cool of God to do that, eh?

Facecrime?

An indication that a person is guilty of thoughtcrime based on their facial expression.

Due to the fact that this is a game. Someone's face is like their Flag, Motto, symbols they use.

I am thinking about changing the name of my party to The Freedom Party. Then maybe TTA can change his party to the LCP. Thoughts?

Can't TTA still found a party because the party system is privatised?

Pax Osca wrote:Welfare systems should support a person's right to be single while taking care of a child if they so wish, independent of gender. The de-incentive to be married may be a side effect of subsidizing single parents, but it would be utterly unfair to force people to live together - especially in the case of abusive spouses. Not to mention it's a restriction of a person's right to be with who they want to be. Trapping people in marriages through financial limitations is wrong and unlibertarian, not to mention unfair.

That's not what I'm saying. Take a single mother who receives about $14,000 a year in various welfare benefits. The father of her children has a low-wage job paying $15,000 per year. If they remain unmarried, they have a combined income of $29,000 per year. But if they marry, the father's income counts against the mother's welfare payments and the mother could see her benefits cut dramatically or even eliminated. This is how marriage is discouraged. Various reforms at the federal and state levels have attempted to remedy this, but have had limited success.

As I previously mentioned, you're much less likely to be in poverty if you have a job, a spouse and a high school diploma. http://being-classical-liberal.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/poverty.html

Pax Osca wrote:Ending corporation tax will not automatically make more jobs. Companies are often limited by demand, and if nobody has any cash to make demand, no more jobs will be created even if the corporation has more cash in their pocket.

Corporation tax primarily falls upon labour. Empirical research continually finds that corporate taxes significantly reduce investment and that this reduced investment reduces worker productivity growth and subsequently keeps worker's wages lower than they would have been in absence of corporate taxation. This is best illustrated by a study titled, 'Tax Policy For Economic Recovery and Growth', which examined the effects of taxes on 17 OECD countries and found that "Corporate taxes most harmful [to economic growth], followed by taxes on personal income, consumption, and property." http://taxfoundation.org/article/what-evidence-taxes-and-growth

Pax Osca wrote:As I said in my previous post, abolishing the minimum wage may rise the average wage, but the lowest wages will not automatically rise. Rising the average wage may be great (and hey, the upper echelons of society will be SO much better off!) but it will not necessarily help the poorest and absolutely cannot guarantee the absence of poverty.

Actually, the lowest-skilled workers would benefit the most from the abolition of the minimum wage, because they'd have the opportunity to enter the job market for what their labour is worth. As the late, great economist and philosopher Murray Rothbard once said, the minimum wage is in effect compulsory unemployment, because it criminalises all voluntary exchanges below a certain price floor, and workers who cannot generate, say, $10.10 for their company in marginal revenue product become unemployed. http://www.sparknotes.com/economics/micro/labormarkets/labordemand/section1.rhtml
