So, do you own horses?

Two.
A Quarter-Clyde mix my wife rides. It's kind of a home-made warm-blood she does dressage on.
Also a Belgian Draft I do jumps, cross country and I go on adventures with him.

if we were evolved to act a certain way and do certain things for survival, is it really free will that makes me do the things i want to do?

No. That's what I've been saying.
we're Meat Robots who are diluted into thinking we have control of our mind

Why did you questioned your existence? We won't feel anything if we did not exist, simple logic.

I mean that this is reality.
I clearly know my mind exists.

The philosophical idea of "free will" has always bugged me; as humans we're "free" from what exactly? Other than that, I'm having a hard time coming up with a decent argument. Thoughts?

As apposed to being slave to the meat-robot brain or being slave to predestination of any kind.

Would you be friends with someone who is kind of stupid? (Not to the point where they're advocating horrible things, they just lack knowledge on lots of things and generally aren't that logical).

Of corse.
We would have to find something in common, like video games or something

did you do a study? And if you did what study, because you seem to know very much about the world.

No, couldn't afford it.
I did community college

Do you like the architecture of churches? I myself find them beautiful. I find stain glass windows to be appealing, and the way they form art, excellent. What are your thoughts on that? Also, Nova Scotia is better :x (That is just because I'm a Nova Scotia man)

Very much so. The Gothic style with flying buttraces is my fave.
The fancy arcatecture is just to evoke emotions though.

I think I was already onto materialism before I started checking out Richard Dawkins, I did read a universe from nothing though, that helped out a lot. like a lot. even if it is only theoretical, it's still an idea that opens the idea to answer. Did Krauss help you at all?

Kraus helped me understand better, but I basically had already become a skeptic before that

Does the armour you wear convey any significant meaning/purport? I understand that you might, for whatever reason, want to conceal your identity. But the interpretation I've gathered is that you're perhaps 'armoured with facts and insight' for battling silly arguments. Is my interpretation accurate?

Yeah. The armour isn't an identity thing, it's a metaphor for skepticism.

Have you thought about debunking the Hovinds, Ray Comfort or Ken Ham?

Yup!
I want to make sure the vids I chose are spectacular train-wrecks

amazing atheist, cult of dusty, armoured skeptic, thebiblereloaded, jaclynglen, hemant mehta, matt dillahunty (and generally AXP), and logicked are all the youtubers that turned my wobbly-on-the-fencism into a confident materialism. who are the main people that helped you along your path?

Chris Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Logicked and Amazing Atheist were the biggest influences in the beginning

The World Health Organization recently re-classed glyphosate (Round-Up) as a "probable carcinogen", Category 2A. Should we be concerned about glyphosate in our food supply?

Yup.
But if you're not washing your veggies before you eat them, you should

Have you heard George Berkeley's argument for God? That objects are naturally passive (not in motion by default) and the only things known to us that put objects (like ourselves) in motion are our minds. So there must be a "supermind" that puts all other objects in motion, the mind of God. Thoughts?

Jakub Rocho
But... everything everywhere is in motion... always.
It was put in motion from the moment of the big bang.

you're an idiot that seems to have a lot of answers but cannot elaborate on any of them.the only thing I'll be sending you there's a package of my smelly DNA. my only question is would you like a pretty bow on that box?

I answer these on my phone. Of corse I don't elaborate.
Don't be a bitch.

What would you think about a MTF transgender lesbian mormon?

I would think that she would have a tough row to hoe.

What is the best evolutionary explanation for evil you know of? "Evil does not exist. It's an abstract concept explained and described through poetics. Bad things happen and there are bad people, no evil." What then is "bad" from an evolutionary perspective? Seems just as much an abstraction.

A bad thing is a thing that is either non-beneficial or even detrimental to self or others.
Boom!

In your Dragon-Unicorn video, when that man mentioned that Isaac Newton was a Christian, I wanted to pimpslap him. Isaac Newton was a preacher for a while admittedly, but it was only a requirement for researching at a college as a professor and not excommunicated from the church for his research!!!

He probably was though.
He probably wouldn't have been into alchemy if he didn't believe in god.
It's irrelevant though. One science tits beliefs does not make his entire work invalid
