My religion is lacrosse but I mostly talk about atheism. The medicine game is for everyone. So is atheism!

Decrying DEI because you think it means hiring unqualified ppl over more deserving candidates while simultaneously hiring cronies with no qualifications or experience of any kind (or supporting those who are) is just maximally hypocritical.

Trinitarians: Is the Trinity like a rock band? Van Halen is a single entity with multiple persons and their music IS VH as well. If this is right, what the heck is the Holy Spirit and in what meaningful sense is it a person? If it's wrong, what's the right rock analogy?

Hey BlueSky Atheists, How about we recognize there are: 1. multiple definitions of atheist 2. many good religious ppl 3. many reasons to be an atheist (not just not believing) 4. arguments for morality that are unrelated to God 5. reasons to be nice to theists, even when we reject their beliefs.

Thinking about how easy it is for some random person to ruin everything for others through social media. The worst case scenario for any position you defend is always right there. One insignificant story goes viral and makes ppl believe that it's important and common. Insert literally anything here.

Looking to help support trans ppl with Trump going heavy against them right now. Political strategy moving forward? Call for new research? Strike a different tone? Find different spokespeople? Correct misconceptions? Carry on without changing tactics? Engage more Drs? What's next?

Correct misconceptions? The trans survey is a good window into what it's like to be trans. Since being trans is both internal and rare, it is super hard for cis ppl to understand what's going on. Change minds by sharing experience if you can.

New research? Ppl who say that puberty blockers don't have an effect on mental health are ignoring the fact that they aren't supposed to! Most critical study is whether PBs improve outcomes after hrt compared to hrt without PBs beforehand. Intuitively yes but it needs research.

Strike a different tone? We need more news coverage of the issue without the toxic hate that comes along with social media. Educate and listen since many are anti trans because they are confused or wrong about trans ppl. Others have legit concerns which should not be dismissed out of hand.

Seems like everyone is wondering what to talk about on here so here's a starter... What religion did your family practice growing up and what religion are you now? I'm an atheist since I was 12 (as soon as I knew what that was) but my mom had taken me to a Congregational church before that. Share!

Bluesky, what's going on? I am interested in atheism/philosophy of religion, lacrosse, education, LGBT rights, science, music/guitar, politics, and getting the hell away from Twitter! Follow or let me know who to follow or if I should follow you! Glad to meet anyone on here!

You are up to date.
