    1. I put religion in quotes to try to appease this take.
    2. You are being exceedingly literal and selective in your definition of religion.
    3. Ceding all rights to the word ‘religion’ to the xtian fundamentalists is not a good strategy.
    4. Your extreme position limits your ability to bridge with others which also limits your ability to affect change.
    5. I’ve had my ‘militant atheist’ phase and shared your inflexibility in the past. It wasn’t healthy for me and it wasn’t helpful for anyone.









  • I’m not going to give serious time to non-serious questions. You’re going to have to at least show you tried to think of how this could be manipulative. If you’re going to consider yourself a rational thinker, then you’re also going to have to agree that more context should be there regardless of whether it changes the message. Any time there is a hint of manipulation (such as trimming down to sound-bites), you should push back.









  • It’s probably not for shipping of the final product at all. Cords for a product are going to be purchased in-bulk. There will be thousands of these cords with sharp and semi-fragile ends all packed together and then handled throughout the product build. This cap both protects the prongs from shipping/handling/assembly processes and protects equipment/handlers while products are being assembled. There’s no good reason to remove the cap after assembly, so it stays on the final product to the consumer.
