    A decent bike needn’t be expensive. For as little as 300€, you can have a new bike that’ll do just fine for recreational use and simple commutes. Used bikes can usually be had really cheap, too, but for that you’d best know how to check the components and what to look for.

    Race bikes, mountain bikes and pedelecs are a different thing, but those are either specialty sports equipment or luxury items.

    Either way, (normal) bikes are easy and cheap to maintain, if used correctly.

    The problem isn’t any spiritual or religious connection the children form. The problem is that most monotheistic religions are very rigid in their exclusive prerogative of interpretation concerning all things fundamental and truth-related.

    Having more than one exclusively-dominant religion represented in any one space must lead to unsolvable conflict. Contradicting absolutes cannot tolerate each other.

    Given that a functioning state must necessarily assume the role of a sovereign, banning religion from public spaces is pretty much the only solution for preventing religious conflicts.










  • That’s an important distinction that too few people understand:

    Psychiatrists: medical doctors with a specialization in mental health who can prescribe drugs

    Psychologists: trained professionals with an academic degree who provide mental health care by (generally) talking with you

    Both are important health care providers, but they generally do very different things, and in a mental health crisis you best have one of each at hand.
