What is it that makes holy water holy.

BestWithoutGods comments on Jul 17, 2019:

Holy water is a scam, part of the bigger scam that is religion itself. The blessing of water is just hocus pocus, mumbo jumbo, argle-bargle, gibberish, balderdash, claptrap, nonsense, twaddle, rubbish, gobbledygook, etc. You can drink "holy water" or wash your ass with it. It would be no different from any other water. Just don't do it where Catholics can see you, because they might attack you for it.

I am not an atheist.

BestWithoutGods comments on Jul 17, 2019:

I am atheist. I did my homework and discovered that there is NO good argument for the existence of gods in reality. They are all mythological. I spent years evaluating every book and pamphlet on apologetics that I could get my hands on. None of them has any convincing facts, reasoning, or evidence. Sure, it is possible that there is a more convincing book that I have not yet seen, but I think it improbable. Many religious people did their best to convince me, and they all failed.

Is religion the same as government?

BestWithoutGods comments on Jul 15, 2019:

The purpose of religion is to portray mythology as if it were reality in order to scare people into giving money to the liars who preach it. The purpose of good government is to encourage ethical and respectful behavior as well as cooperation in such necessary things as infrastructure and defense. A good government should treat religious scams as crimes.

I agree that what life throws at us is not always our choice. However, we are free to deal with it as we see fit. When something bad happens, we can either sit and mope, or we can laugh it off. That is our choice. We are free to shape our own attitudes. Concentrate on the good things, and we will be happy. Concentrate on the bad things and we will be sad. We can be happy or not, no matter what life throws at us.

It is science that saved me from religion. :) Question everything. Test everything. Go with facts and evidence, not blind beliefs.

Dating a Christian?

BestWithoutGods comments on Jul 2, 2019:

My experience has been that I married a Mormon woman when I was Mormon. When I discovered that Mormonism was a scam, I was excommunicated for apostasy, at which time my wife took the children and disappeared. I later got divorce papers. A difference of religion can cause a couple to split apart. Take care to discuss your differences before getting too serious.

Spread or let nature take its course.

BestWithoutGods comments on Jul 2, 2019:

Religion is a scam. Myths are treated as reality in order to make people afraid of Hell, and to get them to pay money to the clergy in order to avoid the mythical Hell. Science should prevail over religion. It would be better for all of us. As for fellowship, we can have clubs and other social gatherings without the scam of religion getting in the way.

I was brainwashed to accept nonsense on faith alone. Science taught me to question things, investigate them, and to put facts and evidence before blind belief. So, I give a big, grateful shout-out to science: THANK YOU, SCIENCE, for saving me from religion!

I went off to a 40's & 50's singles group yesterday afternoon.

BestWithoutGods comments on Jun 30, 2019:

When I first left religion, I wondered where I would find fellowship. But I soon discovered that friends can be found where I am, and I don't have to pretend to be someone else just to be with others. I love my present friends. We meet often for lunches, dinners, walks in the park, etc.

Protecting patients from proselytizing employees and volunteers
