EMC2 comments on May 31, 2018:

Good question, No I do not. I understand the mystery of the night sky without science even invented. I believe it was the dire situation of the poor and the need to control them. To force them is not going to work but make them feel righteous about it and here we go. Even to this day religion is used to control the masses/ Without Constantine there would be no bible, no shit,

EMC2 comments on May 29, 2018:

OK all of us hear this stuff frequently and it just keeps on coming. Now we are at the point where a society exposes its' stupidity. We have gone from just dumb ass comments into complete assault on the world outside the alt right neighborhood . Of course they have no idea the rest of civilization out numbers them, so they continue along a path of pure shit. My brother, a catholic by conversion, and now a Trumpet by choice, He believes that god did put trump here to stop the devil. Wow and I thought that acid was strong. WTF

Why do we pay twice for the same services, police and military with our tax money?

EMC2 comments on May 29, 2018:

That would be a police state. We are paying police due to our socialism and it is a good thing. Our military, highway, schools etc are all socialist programs and when our nation realizes we must go all the way with socialism we will much better off.

We must address the situation now, not tomorrow, but now. WE are about to loose all this nation has been created for. We should also bring the native americans into our life with a welcome , not a spitting contest

The shame this president has brought to the nation is extensive, The absolute lying and demeaning our free press, bragging on fake accomplishments and so on.

Well I do like what you say but I do believe in remaining a progressive even by title. It is who I am. I agree with changing minds and have attended both a republican and a democrat local meeting, The democrats were very old people and not too progressive in their thoughts, The republicans indeed believe they are being attacked by non religious people and that their country, not ours, their country is under attack by a liberal agenda. It does no good to even attempt to discuss with right wingers, They just refuse to wake up.

EMC2 comments on May 27, 2018:

It is indeed a religious act. What actually happens is that the foreskin contains sensitivity that is forever lost. The USA is the only developed country where it remains a dominant practice today. It is proven to not decrease infection and is done for cosmetic reasons only. Now if mother nature over the hundreds of thousands years she has been producing us, not alter the foreskin if it is indeed useless. Sort of like the appendix perhaps. The sexual experience is different with the foreskin verses without.

EMC2 comments on May 25, 2018:

You said this very well. It is only via thinking that one reaches the conclusion that god is myth We know with certainty that we feel what we know to be real in our minds. As an atheist, this freedom gives the brain freedom to think beyond items. To reach that peace which ONLY comes when one touches that edge and goes over it. Cannot understand how people who are intelligent believe is such stuff/

Why do we hate?

EMC2 comments on May 25, 2018:

Definitely a common rule of nature. If the wonderfully gifted god made us I have to ask why did he not give us photosynthesis. Plants have it and do well. We as an animal must kill living tissue and then consume it inorder to survive. So we hate or express the attitude necessary to harm It is just mother nature. Or a real stupid god.

Science vs. Religion

EMC2 comments on May 24, 2018:

They are independent of each other, Science is based on facts and religion is based on nothing but belief. How can science ever limit itself to a 6,000 year old earth, intelligent design and a bible of rules. Science is completely on their own here. If it is not science then it cannot be compared on the same issues as the other. One is real and the other is shit

Ohh praise the lord.

My best friend in life, my best man, my confidant, suddenly began talking in tongues and found the pentecostal jesus. Out of no where he met a group of people that convinced him he was a sinner and hell was the next stop. I tried so hard to remain rational with him but to no avail. He now teaches sunday school at his chruch which does not allow non whites due to the fact that jesus is white.

Her brother heads the black ops operations and pitched trump on letting him and his military take over the job of the US military. Devos also knows how to spell school so I guess she is the right person to lead the way to a more restrictive education policy. Why should we educate alt right republicans anyway, they will not read, write or do anything involving thought

EMC2 comments on May 22, 2018:

But the alt right christians remodeled jesus into a hateful person who spits on buses full of children and mothers. They also recreated the bible to prove science is of satan and now they claim the founding fathers asserted christianity. If we went back to the original founding fathers we would have respect for the land and nature, these were the native americans. We merely stole their land , reinvented a god and claimed title to it. What a christian thing to do

Does this mean there's something wrong with me?

EMC2 comments on May 22, 2018:

Absolutely, you understand life and death, Most people just seem to focus on their loss and feel so sad that they will miss the dead person. But what does death really mean, nothing. It is merely another stage for our atoms to flow within, AToms do not die ergo our body does not die , rather it is redistributed through out mother nature. And for those that elect embalming, well that is not what mother nature asks for and I believe it does affect the cycle of life. To grieve is normal but to believe it is a loss is foolish, Death is the most exciting journey avialable to we humans since birth.

Glad to hear you ask this question, Speaking with my brother the baptist pastor this morning , we discussed trump. He stated that I always bring it up and my response is that I certainly do as I see the democracy and foundation of our nation in great peril. Trump is more dangerous than any president in history because he continues to enhance the swamp as well as put down the free press. YES we all should be very frightened if this is not stopped soon. I do believe Mueller has all the tools necessary to save our nation.

Not at all. religious believes are based of a book of fiction, Atheist base belief on factual evidence.

That is what makes an atheist much more amiable to conversation.

A belief is just that, A fact is used to believe . Again, facts show science wins this one and if someone wishes to act like a star or radical they can by pretending to go against the grain. I do not give credence to things that are not real. The Satan Church headquartered in England, is considered to believe in Satan but that is just not the case. They are theist who used the name satan, which all realize is imaginary, to just stir the christians.

EMC2 comments on May 17, 2018:

I do not suffer from it however have had my severe bouts of depression, The point I wish to make is most of those who suffer this existential depression are indeed brilliant people. It is the fact that you feel with intense belief the reality you are willing to admit to yourself. Most people cover up true feelings with good ole human rational. This gift of yours is to go deep inside and find that incredible ability you have , that ability to recognize real truth without seeking the run away door, LIke a savant who goes more deep inside than you do and finds that gift, That incredible gift , so rare, that it is not even spoken of.

Wow is that so very true. Most people seem to be living while avoiding death, What kind of life is that. Trying to beat the most beautiful journey with the gift of a mind is not utilizing your talents. Is is not odd how we put down our pets out of pure love, Loosing a pet is like loosing a family member only this one you really do love. Then we see our beloved people suffering a painful terminally ill situation and as said above, we try to put a bandaid on it and extend the life to suffer more when it gets worse.

Well said, Atheist believe in reality that mother nature presents us. Nothing more , nothing less. To believe she will bring a new car at Christmas because you prayed is sort of childish.

No and that is why our previous leaders held off on moving it. Since it was decided decades ago that a two state was possible the population was rather small, ; Now we have 2.5 million people in the Gaza Strip which is roughly twice the size of Wash, DC. To move the embassy now shows the world that Muslims or Islamic religion means shit to us as we favor the Jews. We have been disgusting under this presidential idiot we have.

EMC2 comments on May 16, 2018:

First of all I hope it is not Fox you use as news. We have decreased our need for oil due to the wonderful technology of fracking for natural gas. Fracking is as crazy as drilling, it kills the environment and us. Saudi is now under the control of the leaders son who is now pals with the orange haired raccoon president we have. UAE serves as a banking service for us to wash money, and we could go on and on. The issue is why does the Trumpet want us in another war?? Why is he startling things up?

We are always eternal and fortunately do not have to deal with time, That would be a bitch

When we drill it into the gullible minds of the crowd that refuses to read, you get massive idiocy running wild in the nation. FAke news begins to be real to these uneducated morons. I say morons because they refuse to accept real facts. We now have a president who is a complete asshole, being admired by the alt right people, NOw go figure their level of stupidity.

EMC2 comments on May 15, 2018:

The real anti christ is jesus, he said not to make a religion out of him, nor worship him as a god. Not that that means diddly squat, it is written in the gospel of Mary and that of Judas. Strange how these gospels were declined for entry into the bible. We just have a gift bag of selected writings organized into a babbling debate that this is your god.

EMC2 comments on May 13, 2018:

The big time looser is the one who devoted life to this stuff. If , just out of no where, god does exist, well the only way to interpret that is an unconditional love for the thing you built. IF it, god, looks at me, it will be seen I used my mind, enlightened my soul, and always believed in equality. No problem but the poor sucker who hated immigrants, homosexuality, population control, is sort of screwed at this moment, See god and I would see eye to eye and if not , it is not god.

EMC2 comments on May 13, 2018:

If you have undergone a major surgery where you are out for a few hours and being cut open, then you know the feeling of death, Nothing is there, no pain, no conscious , no mind, Even your deepest sleep would awake to being cut open. But without a conscious present your body can be torn up and you are not home to notice it.

Trump will not be impeached, No way and I certainly hope we do not settle for that. His entire election was a fraud, illegal and void. With that we need to have he and all resign for criminal activities. By the way impeachment does not remove a president. Criminal charges do. Bill Clinton was never charged with a crime, just impeached as a letter of reprimand.

Well if he was a true evangelical he felt rejected knowing you would not have sex with him.

Is Trump an atheist?

EMC2 comments on May 7, 2018:

Can orange haired racoons think about a deity ? As Trump looks in the mirror he only sees the one and only god. So no he is not an atheist, he believes in himself

Dear Liberals and Independents, Even if you do not like our candidate, even if it is a standard Poodle, they are smart, DO NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP For that there is no defense, NONE

I've got good news and I've got bad news! First the bad news: Civilization as we know it is about...

EMC2 comments on May 7, 2018:

And civilization as we do not know it , is about to begin.

Who else out thar, is so tired of all the Trump Bashing ?

EMC2 comments on May 7, 2018:

I believe you are missing the core point here. Yes many presidents have been bashed but never was the nation afraid of losing our democracy. I am not tired of the investigation, I am supportive of it . I want to see the history unfolding and take heart in the effort to save the US from Putin and the like, This story is much bigger than watergate or the Clinton junk, This story is one of selling the nation out and calling freedom of the press fake news. No way is this story to be even considered inconvenient to our lives, This is our history in action

Thank you for sharing this , To think people not only like trump, they think Ruddy baby is solid and professional Oh the poor poor republicans, what have they done to their selves.

Is anyone else appalled and worried about the mass defunding of public schools in favor of private ...

EMC2 comments on May 3, 2018:

Upset hell yes, the most valuable resource a society has is it's people. But the issue is that the conservatives now accept wife cheating, beating, take lies as jesting, and believe god is their life driver. With all that , education goes down the sewer , if we, the liberals, or thinkers, take the congress back we can stop this insanity, VOTE

I wonder if God could make a rock so big even he could not pick it up? George Carlin

EMC2 comments on May 3, 2018:

He did but no one even wants to attempt to pick up Trump. also even god can lift the earth, our biggest rock

Are you an open or closet agnostic/atheist, and why?

EMC2 comments on May 1, 2018:

why would anyone be a closet atheist? That would mean you do not truly believe in yourself. Religion is based on blind faith and with that , the atheist are based on facts and reality. I am so very proud I have seen the light and am a non follower of religion of stupid god tricks.

In that dim, misty world of the pre-trump administration, cognizant adults knew to be skeptical of ...

EMC2 comments on May 1, 2018:

it amazes me how many people feel the free press, consisting of real authentic journalist, is fake news. They believe one source,Fox or the president, and neglect the facts. Only time we see this type of ignorance is during a take over of a nation.

Warning, even though it happened 1500 years ago, today is still makes my skin crawl.

EMC2 comments on May 1, 2018:

Sounds Trumpish

Does anyone else tire of hyper-intellectual posts about belief and faith (or lack thereof)?

EMC2 comments on Apr 30, 2018:

let us not get our underwear in a twist over this. It is refreshing and there are very few trolls. this is a great site and at times we do see commonplace ordinary junk but then again we see some very outstanding material and with that we read further.

I’m kinda getting tired of this country bending to the fears of stupid people.

EMC2 comments on Apr 29, 2018:

I am shocked to see our nation fall backwards also. After the amazing economic recovery Obama delivered, we opted to listen to fake alternative facts and base these facts on a false god. Truly an amazing thing considering this is the USA. When the democrats run for president their slogan should be to make America Great Again, as it was under Obama

Why do most Dr. offices have Fox news on?

EMC2 comments on Apr 29, 2018:

That is a great question, I see this also. When I walk into a restaurant and they have fox news on, I tend to think the food is lesser quality. I mean if the owner does not know that fox is pure garbage, imagine the ingredients they buy to put in their food. Such as food for thought and there is no thought.

Trump Orders Review of Education Policies to Strengthen Local Control [nytimes.

EMC2 comments on Apr 29, 2018:

He, Trump, must first understand what education means. It is not alternative facts, it actually involves reality. So for Trump to become interested in educating our children , he first must receive a proper education and that is not possible in the remaining few months of his failed presidency

What's your opinion of assisted suicide?

EMC2 comments on Apr 29, 2018:

I think it is long over due. We put our pets down out of pure love. If Trump asked for assistance there would be many people in favor

This site, the members - all of us - outwardly deny the existence of deity.

EMC2 comments on Apr 26, 2018:

You show a good point and I for one call myself very spiritual. All things are made up of the same star dust, as Sagan used to say. To hold that there is no connection of energy is of course foolish. But take it further and go deep inside to the other voice, each and every one of us has in their head, The one that talks to you and carries on a conversation. The brain part of me is small compared to the one that calls all the shots, who the hell is that, but me

Got to have another back surgery. Hope it’s more fun than it was last time. lol

EMC2 comments on Apr 26, 2018:

Depends on what it is. If is just a disc then you are good to go. Had my first back surgery in early 80's and with that they required a mylogram , now done with MRI. You can only fall to your knees with gratitude for the MRI, The other is really a spinal tap. Then in the late nineties I had the second back surgery and it was the micro surgery . Done on a Thursday afternoon and I was mowing the lawn Monday morning, Fine ever since, Today's medical advances are indeed substantial.
