“Autocracy is a system of government in which absolute power over a state is concentrated in the hands of one person, whose decisions are subject neither to external legal restraints nor to regularized mechanisms of popular control (except perhaps for the implicit threat of a coup d'état or other forms of rebellion).[1].” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify...

“The word mafia (/ˈmɑːfiə/; Italian: [ˈmaːfja]) derives from the Sicilian adjective mafiusu, which, roughly translated, means "swagger", but can also be translated as "boldness" or "bravado". In reference to a man, mafiusu (mafioso in Italian) in 19th century Sicily signified "fearless", "enterprising", and "proud", according to scholar Diego Gambetta.[3] In reference to a woman, however, the feminine-form adjective mafiusa means 'beautiful' or 'attractive'...

“14: Romans canonized the New Testament and made it their state religion. The idea that Romans invented the New Testament sounds even less absurd when you consider the fact that the New Testament was canonized entirely by Roman scholars. The first official cannon was created at the First Council of Nicea, which was presided over by the emperor of Rome. Everyone knows Jesus’ birthday and deathday were forged to coincide with other holidays...

“Ethical values are derived from human need and interest as tested by experience. Humanists ground values in human welfare shaped by human circumstances, interests, and concerns and extended to the global ecosystem and beyond.

I'm agnostic, but I think Jesus is cool.” The motto of agnosticism is, “I don’t know, who can say for sure?” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

“My beliefs as a five-year old were: A God exists who created and ordered the world and watches over human life on earth. God wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught in the Bible and by most world religions. The central goal of life is to be happy and to feel good about oneself. God does not need to be particularly involved in one's life except when God is needed to resolve a problem. Good people go to heaven when they die...

“Agnostic theism (also called "religious agnosticism") is the view of those who do not claim to know the existence of God or gods, but still believe in the existence of such a being. Some agnostic theists happily admit of their ignorance humbly, so they may be able to become closer to God piously. Others, while believing in the divine, may despair of ever fully comprehend what it is in which they believe...

“Feminist Porn As An Ideal If we think of feminist porn as a political ideal, we might talk about pornography that reflects certain beliefs. Feminism has traditionally been about seeking equality between the sexes and breaking down patriarchy. Porn can reflect that by depicting female agency and female pleasure, assuming an equality between sexual partners without any assumption that the sex should involve sexist roles or behaviour...

“Those who identify as feminist pornographers are primarily independent, sole operators and performers, creating their own vision of good porn. Very few work with the larger US companies, although there have been a few such as Tristan Taormino who have made films for the big labels, hoping to encourage change within those organizations. But primarily we are still a small group working for ourselves...
