Whoopie suspended

Religion itself is irrational and has no useful purpose in an intellectually and scientifically advanced civilization, but sure, there is worse than that.

Disagreed.

Western philosophy is linear, which is purely Left Brain while completely ignoring the Right Brain. Eastern philosophy is more holistic and uses both brains.

The physicality of the Universe is easier to see than the mentality of people. Although more difficult to see with our current state of tech, the mentality of people is discernable to a limited extent.

While atheists are free to only see the world in terms of physicality and mentality, history proves that there's a spirituality component to human beings this isn't very well understood. No doubt it's tied to mentality just like mentality is often tied to physicality.

In short, I strongly believe that humans have all three components as part of who they are. Ignoring spirituality, just because it can't be seen or touched, is like ignoring Dark Matter. Ignoring it is ignorant.

That said, spirituality and religion are two different things. Religion is a tool, spirituality is a human quality.

Of course you do.

Spirituality is a comfort device. "God" explains the things that humans don't understand. As our knowledge and understanding grow, God diminishes. I'm not ignoring spirituality. I'm calling it what it is.

Religion has less to do with spirituality and more to do with control over the masses.

isn't it odd that it was practically a demand to fire and cancel everything about roseanne barr for a tweet, but now they want to raise hell about suspending whoopie for a public, on the air, statement???????

Who exactly is outraged about Whoopie's two week time out?

I'm happy you are comforted that you know there is nothing beyond the physical and that "spirituality" is purely biochemical. :thup:

No one knows and those who claim to know are fooling themselves. One person can declare God is an old man on a golden throne while millions of souls sing Hosannas to him for-fucking-ever and another person can declare we are all meat computers with biochemical programming and of no more value than our component parts. Both are stating beliefs that are more religious than spiritual.

I guess many are..........otherwise there wouldn't be a media stink about it

ABC created the stink by overreacting like chickenshits. A few Karens send in complaints about the "fat black woman" and <BOOM> two week suspension.

There were other ways to handle it but ABC folded for the Karens.

What? This is why people don't like you. You, like many others here, type a statement completely unrelated to anything the person you're talking to said and then attribute it to them. I never said "there is nothing beyond the physical" and you know that. In case you missed it, I'm not a religious person. I don't hold other people's spiritual beliefs against them until they start fucking with my life, liberty, freedom, and rights.

Its more that the WOKE claim that everything revolves around/is about race....anyone who disputes this must be hurt.

"Woke" means alert to injustice in society, especially racism. So, no, not everything revolves around race, but race plays a big part in social (in)justice.
 
Just for fun I’d like to see them replace Whoopie with Candace Owens during the two weeks Whoopie is suspended. Just for fun. ;)
