Is that so important to choose your partner who has similar thoughts on religion? Why or why not?

BestWithoutGods comments on May 15, 2020:

In my experience, my change of religions caused my wife to leave me and divorce me. My current spouse is a fellow atheist, so we get along quite well. :)

Intellectual vs Pseudo

It is quite obvious that the current Fake President is a liar and a moron, who does not belong in the White House. Vote him away! https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=you+tube+vote+him+away=608012999158269652=926192455396011EE4B8926192455396011EE4B8=detail=VIRE

BestWithoutGods comments on May 14, 2020:

It is difficult being surrounded by idiots, especially here in a Southern state. But to have one in the White House, too!? That's too much. And the Senate run by idiots!? C'mon! It's depressing. But I can still vote for the progressive side, and that's what I do.

Does anything about being in an atheist or agnostic social network provide comfort?

BestWithoutGods comments on May 14, 2020:

It is nice to be in a place where I can express my knowledge freely, without getting attacked. The Bible says to "love your neighbor as yourself," but if I mention (no matter how kindly I say it) to a Christian that religion is a scam based on mythology, they are likely to shift into the hypocrite mode, and treat me scornfully. On this forum, most people are more understanding.

I became a loving person, in order to combat hatred. I show a good example, and if people ask me about it I will talk to them and encourage them to love their neighbors, and even their enemies. I try to be helpful to as many people as possible. It makes me happy, and it shows people how to live well.

Please. It would be nice to be rid of the brainless Fake President and his nutty Vice President. Then Nancy Pelosi is next in line to become president. That would be a great improvement. :)

Morals.

BestWithoutGods comments on May 10, 2020:

I prefer the word *ethics* rather than *morality*. When I was in religion, I had no ethical code for myself. I was brainwashed to listen to church leaders and obey whatever they said, without question. Once I became free from religion, I found the need to form my own ethical code. I based it on the older-than-the-bible saying that we should treat others the way we would like to be treated. So, I do good for others, and do not hurt them, except when it is necessary to defend myself, or others, against their harmful actions.

You don't get it, @Zeuser ? One thing we need to understand is that a fop is a dandy. The other thing is that "lyin' dandy" is "dandelion" turned around. At least that's how we pronounce "dandelion" where I live. :)

Hint #1: 6'3" Is not his condom size. It is the distance from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. Hint #2: He is a warrior FOR Christ, not against Christ. This means he's a religious nut. Hint #3: The laughing emoji shows that you are not serious. Good for you! 😂

Think back to when you were religious.

BestWithoutGods comments on May 3, 2020:

I was raised in the Moron church. They don't do crosses. They also discourage dating outside the Moron religion. So, we just had to find someone at church meetings. (Oops! I misspelled Mormon again.)

What are the most effective ways adults are recruited to religion and how do we stop them?

BestWithoutGods comments on May 3, 2020:

I let people make their own decisions. But when they start preaching to me, that's when I ask for facts and evidence to support what they are saying. If they give me a pamphlet, I read it and then point out that it has no basis in facts or good reasoning, but is founded on blind faith and poor logic. If they point to the Bible, I point out flaws in the Bible, such as false prophecies and contradictions. I may not convince them immediately, but I cling to the hope that they will follow through with their own research and see that it's just a scam based on mythology.

For those of you who believed in life after death before: do you struggle more now when people die?

BestWithoutGods comments on May 3, 2020:

I am more at peace, knowing that death is final. I no longer worry whether I or anyone else will end up in hell rather than heaven. We construct our happiness during our lives, and there is no need to worry about anything beyond. :)

Religion does more harm than good. One can be ethical and kind to others without religion. In fact, I never had a good foundation for ethics until I rejected religion. Now I am kinder, and have more generosity and goodwill than I ever had when I was religious.
