5129 How to Strengthen Your Ego!

I noticed that some christian friends like you, Stefan, because listening to you they can get rational explanations for things that they used to support with faith-based arguments like "God said so". They become even more proud because they think "God is logos, my beliefs are rational" but I can't help seeing them as more "atheistic", because there's no more "god" in many of their stands, there's only logic. They like you because they can have the cake and eat it too?I always recommend people I try talking to about libertarianism listen to Milton Friedman's free to choose TV program that's free to watch on YouTube. It's great for opening people's minds to the ideas. What are you thoughts on geographical determinism, the idea that Europeans were destined to become more advanced than people from other places because of their environment?What do you think could be behind falling IQ over the last few decades?Hi Stef, is natural law not the basis of human rights (at least the negative rights)? Since they are so widely accepted in the western world, why is it so hard to argue for natural law vs. utilitarianism? Many people I argue with defend the greater good for the most people as the moral standard and discard natural law due to this.Hi, Stef! I think I should talk to you because you always say call me before and I am developing a relationship which involves everything what not supposed to be in it including other beings and talking to god. How did I get into this after eight years of listening to Freedomain?
