Imma guess that they knew what they were doing when they phrased it like that

There are too many letters in "Rafael" for the average Texan to read. Ted is much easier for them
Same. My mind makes up random words to sounds all the time, so if I dont have context or lips to read, the sentences I hear people say are just wild.
I repeat things back to people wearing masks so that I can be sure that I understand them. It annoys some of them, but whatever
We have a Ninja hybrid type. That thing is AMAZING almost equal to the value of a microwave
Those that spoke out against religion were killed or punished. Those who used it were rewarded. Those who followed it, were either sent to slaugher members of different religions, sacrificed, milked for coin, or forced into submission by the scary make-believe hell.
Religion works because it gives people something in common, soothes human fears, and sets forth rules to abide by.
It was useful, once. We don't need it any more
Much more accurate
Ok, but that's a chick to be fair
My body is part of me, as is my mind. Whichever part of myself remains, is me. If I am brain-dead, the body on life support is me. If only my mind remains, that's me. If they are seperated, but alive in one way or another, then each of those parts are also me
Though, for the record, I'd rather not be a brain in a jar nor hooked up to machines to breath. In both of those cases, given the choice, I'd chose death
As far as how little remains of me (or a thing) even if all that remains of me is a single cell. That's still me.
I'd take it even further than that, actually because I've given this way too much thought in the past. I don't have the mental fortitude to type it all out atm, but: I will happily argue that you are me, and I am you, and we are all temporary parts of a greater whole, operating as individuals on borrowed time with borrowed resources.
It depends on how much you want to zoom in/out. At a certain point one becomes the same as the other, like soup. Still, that soup wouldn't taste the same without it's individual ingredients, and each spice has it's own flavor- even if there's so little of it left, that no one can even taste it
Math and the concept of god are not in the same vein at all.
Religion, and the concept of god, is entirely fabricated by human minds

There is no evidence that they pray to any deity
Same with elevators!
Because I can trace a line of myself in time. I'm human, and I percieve time to be linear, so if I look back in time through my memories, I can see myself. Not only that, but there is hard physical evidence that I exist, and have existed since I was born in (what we label as) the year 1984
If, at any point, I was removed from the timeline I would cease to exist.
A sappling might not be a tree, but it's only that sappling that can grow into that, specific, tree. How it grows, and how it changes, is up to time. But even if it loses a branch, or gets scalded in a fire- it's still the same tree
I agree with what you've said, but you're missing something. Look at the U.S. as a whole. The brains who leave Florida aren't generally going to Canada. They're coming to California, or going to other more liberal, better educated, states.
Further, kids who grew up in the better-off states will continue to pursue higher education.
Republicans don't need to control the entire population. Just enough of them
