    • Yes , if I have the same policy views
    • Yes, just because he is an atheist
    • No, just because she is an antheist

wheres the yes because I don't give a **** about religion?

That would be option 1. Because option 2 says "Yes because I care he is atheist" and option 3 says "No because I care she is atheist".....option 1 is the "Yes, religion doesn't affect my political views" choice.

OP, this is second thread you create related to religion and atheists in less then a hour.. do you want to make a point?

Just show Nashville show and atheist was a big topic. So I want to ask this question.

The problem is.. with #1.. it's saying "Yes I would vote BECAUSE I am atheist" not "I would vote because religion means nothing to me"

By that logic, you are saying you would vote for them BECAUSE you don't care about religion.....how is that any different?

 

I honestly don't understand your misunderstanding of options 1.....option 1 states "Yes, IF I have the same political views".....just because two people have the same religious standing doesn't mean they have the same political views....

 

I'm agnostic and I vote for the candidate that I share the most political views with......based on what you said, I am voting on those candidates because they are also agnostic, which obviously they are not.

lol just saw that the pool is broken: option 3 refers to a "she" while the 2nd option refer to a "he".

Year, made a sexist joke out of it. But its really not a sexist but an atheist thing.

OP's next topic: if you're an atheist would you atheist your atheism?

I try to vote for competent leaders; their religious ideology is of little concern to me.

What happens if the candidates worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster or some other exotic cult does that still make them non-religious in your eyes.Ergo what are you counting as a religion?

 

Religion

the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods:

a particular system of faith and worship:

 

Atheist

a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods:

I think it would be more likely that I would vote for someone who is an atheist, but only after I agreed with their political views.

 

No offense to anyone who is religious but I think anyone who believes a man sits in the sky and controls everything is illogical.

Sure, why not, we voted a Muslim into office and didn't elect a Mormon, can't worse than being a Mormon, right?

Well we seem to have drawn the line a Mormons as not good to be President, anything more exotic than that will have a real hard time gaining any traction

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
