As the ancient Chinese curse says, we live in interesting times. Not exactly soothing or calm times, but definitely historically interesting. More of a seatbacks fully upright and tray tables shut and locked type of times.

How to respond when people tell you they pray that you come to know Christ.

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 17, 2023:

Aside from laughing hysterically? I tell them I've been down that road before, then I read the buybull 3 times cover to cover and that made me the atheist I am today. That usually shuts them up pretty good. And it's all true, I was searching for answers and knowledge, and when you put the buybull all together, it is really harsh towards women and marginalized societies, aside from being just wholly fabricated. I don't want any part of it.

The USA needs to take a hands off approach to Israel, no more money. And Israel needs to treat Hamas fairly and work out peace. They can coexist peacefully, that is what gawd would want. Although, historically that doesn't seem promising.

I became unemployed just before Thanksgiving. I am doing OK. I will have out of town guests for Christmas so I am not job searching just yet. I am also trying to get some health issues resolved, I have a sleep study next week. I have used this time to deep clean and purge in my house. There was lots of stuff I had not touched in nearly 10 years. I sold almost all my books, and videos at a half price store. I have given lots of stuff to goodwill. My kids know and are very supportive.

Very good advice.

40 years isn't long enough, but for me it should be if you do the math.

Dating and Agnostic

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 5, 2023:

I pretty much gave up on dating in my area. Given the local population is strongly republican and Xian, and I have no tolerance for BS, I pretty much gave it up about the time the pandemic started. I have met several of the men in my area on this site, and no interest. But then again, I'm not young. Your mileage may vary.

How do you view Jesus?

HippieChick58 comments on Dec 5, 2023:

In the long run it doesn't matter. Whether or not there was a man called Jesus, there is no god. The buybull was written by powerful men to control others less powerful, including punishing women for being women. He wasn't a "christian" because christianity did not exist prior to his supposed life. IMHO The Goatherder's Guide To The Galaxy is the most dangerous book of all time. How many wars have been started because of it? How many people not involved in war have lost their lives because of it? Think of all the women burned as witches. How much further ahead would be be in science if the early church had not disrupted the lives of the scientists? Much of the evil of the world has occurred because of religion.
