Non-accredited schools

Is it any wonder that non-accredited colleges and universities are almost always religiously-affiliated? Why would any school want to be non-accredited for any purpose other than religious? What reason other than religion could there be for a school to exist with the knowledge that students get a less-than-quality, below acceptable standards, education? What else than for receiving an alleged trade-off in religious education for a competitive secular education in any other field, or for education in a religious field that is not considered broad and/or deep enough for the vast majority of professionals in that very field?

These schools exist for the sole purpose of anti-education: indoctrination. Standards do not matter when indoctrination is the entire point. Open-mindedness, skepticism, questioning: all irrelevant when entrenching one's self in the assumptions inherent to religious teaching. Therein lies the only value, and I use the term "value" loosely. Really, would we recognize similar value in the New York Giants University? You may not get the best degree in English Literature or Compost Science, but gosh darn it you'll leave believing that Eli Manning is the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL! Who would attend that school? Only the most ardent fans of the Giants, or only those who already had a forgone conclusion that the Giants were the greatest thing on the planet. In other words, only those who make the choice not to see or even to experiment with other opinions or points of view. Religion is much the same, hence they make up the majority of non-accredited schools, primarily because they simply don't care about accreditation or the open-mindedness and critical thinking that goes along with it.

Forced birth is slavery

The Supreme Court of the United States appears to be on the precipice of making the most heinous, inhuman ruling of law since the Dred Scott case. There is no way to sugarcoat the gravity of the stakes. Restricting abortion rights denies a person of their humanity. Fundamental to issue of abortion rights is the concept of bodily autonomy. If a person does not have the right to dominion over their own body, which certainly must be denied in order to deny a pregnant person the right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, then truly, a person does not have any other rights at all. Without the self-evident right to bodily autonomy, a citizen of the United States loses all of the following rights which have been sacrosanct since before the Constitution was drafted, before the Declaration of Independence was signed: Freedom of speech Without control over their own body, a person does not have the right to articulate, write or type words. If the state has control over a person's body, the s

The Right to Bear Arms is Outdated and Needs to be Repealed from the Constitution

The 2nd Amendment grants citizens the right to use a certain technology. It does not say "right to defend themselves" or "right to carry swords". It says "right to bear arms". The historically and contextually accurate interpretation of the 2nd Amendment is the states have the right to defend themselves against an aggressive federal government by using war technology which was, at the time of the drafting of the Bill of Rights, guns: manual rifles and hand pistols which could fire 1-2 bullets per minute. If the intent was enable states to defend themselves, then clearly they must have the right to match the war technology of the aggressive federal government against whom they have the right to defend themselves. The concept that the right is limited to guns is historically-bound and irrational, as it does not advanced through time along with literally every other right and law in the Federal Code. If the aggressive federal government uses technology to adv

Joshua stopping the sun

I would argue that a spherical earth is in fact anti-(Abrahamic religions). There are several passages of "historical events" in the Old Testament that cannot possibly be true unless the Earth is flat and stationary. For example, Joshua stopping the sun in the sky for 12 hours and then starting it again. If Joshua had stopped the rotation of the spherical Earth, every object above ground, including the oceans, would have lurched forward at >1,000 mph, not merely killing almost all life on the planet but turning it to jelly. The story only works if the lightbulb is "out there" and we/Joshua are the ones who are stationary. Technically, yes he could have bent the light waves from the sun, but since the sun simply continued on afterward, that bending must still be in place today. The new curvature through space-time must have accounted for not only the sun but for literally every single light particle in the entire observable universe, because we are not physically
