And, even as far as religious truth, I think Scooby Doo is the better option:

"The big scary magic thing never existed. Turns out, all along, it was the pretension of a masked old man with a stick up his ass."

(Sounds like religion to me.)

Strangely enough, some Scooby Doo productions actually have situations where it turns out there is an actual ghost or monster or ghost or whatever.  It's a betrayal of the original concept, but anything for a buck I guess.  (source:  having my kids get scared by Zombie Island type actual scary shit Scooby stuff)

But your picture represents manipulation and looting culture by socialist influence. But thats life.

You think European colonialism was inspired by "socialism?"  What planet do you live on?

USSR worked like that, even today with Democrats and Benghazi, overall destroying culture is part of it. Atheism leads to socialism as a system since they rely on it all the time

Expand on your thinking so we can understand you. We don't need to promote hive thinking, so it's okay to have a different view of things, but this isn't Facebook or City Data. People use their brains here. Write shit out and cite your reasoning or move along to the next forum.

Religion Online is designed to assist teachers, scholars and general
“seekers” who are interested in exploring religious issues. Its aim is
to develop an extensive library of resources, representing many
different points of view, but all written from the perspective of sound
scholarship.

Why do you keep citing the USA?  If you'd taken the time—at the very least—to
read my bio here, you'd know I was an Aussie.   But then you don't actually waste
your time reading stuff that you think is not important do you?  I know you enjoy
bad-mouthing Americans here for some unknown reason—and obviously from a
base of political ineptitude.  But you don't know anything about Australian politics.

seaside Wrote:See to me. Having a credible source to read from, criticism or commentary matters. I don't read from random people who can be nitwits.

I'm not sure I understand these comments.  You say you didn't read the site,
Religion Online, but you're now claiming it's not a "credible source".  How
does that work?  And how do you determine who exactly is an online "nitwit" if
you don't—as you claim—bother to read their stuff?

Not all of us are that tolerant.  Personally, I think trying to spread baseless conspiracy theories about one's perceived enemies is classic hate speech.

It's all very well to disagree with other people's ideas and to consider them destructive, but when you accuse them of knowingly being destructive with no proof, then that's hate speech. I also consider Trump's assertions of a Democratic conspiracy to commit voter fraud to be hate speech for the same reason. He is not railing against voter fraud in general.

There'd be a lot of hate speech on here if we went by your definition. It's not the first time, someone uses the broad brush and their conspiracy theories for a post.

Now, I'm gonna give a partial pass to classic Scooby Doo, because the solution to each mystery was never supernatural.  Every mysterious event had a 'real world' explanation.  It was never ghosts, monsters, or aliens; it was always a caretaker, a businessman, a would-be heir or heiress, typically motivated by greed.  Wrapped up inside a silly show was a little nugget of critical thinking: evidence needs to stand up to scrutiny.

Yes, I know.  I have mentioned my problem with other posters in the past, including several atheists who are repeat offenders by this definition.

I don't think these incidents should pass without comment, however, since we are all becoming too used to hate speech in ordinary affairs.
