Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

What, indeed, is agnosticism [writes Engels], but… “shamefaced” materialism? The agnostic’s conception of nature is materialistic throughout. The entire natural world is governed by law, and absolutely excludes the intervention of action from without. But he adds, we have no means either of ascertaining or of disproving the existence of some Supreme Being beyond the known universe (Engels, Socialism: Utopian and Scientific, p. 18).

(This was an excerpt fom Georges Pollitzer's Elementary Principles of Philosophy )

My face is not ashamed, but i do not shame others for what they believe.
