This is just another example of why we should return to paper ballots and get rid of mail in ballots etc.

The Israelis are behind it all! Only Mahmoud Abbas and Ilhan Omar and all those university radicals can save us!

I'll never understand why non-Theists bother having any ideologies or beliefs anyway. If you believe you're a rock, why not act like a rock?

“If you believe you’re a rock, why not act like a rock?”

Because they don’t really believe what they profess, no matter how loudly they profess it. If they did, they would act like it, which I think would rationally result in either a) suicide or b) complete hedonism without any regard for morality at all.

I don’t think this is intellectual dishonesty on their parts; they really do not realize that there is a deep-seated part of themselves that does not actually believe this thing they have rationalized to themselves, and that it is this part of themselves that constrains them from acting in concert with their professed beliefs.
