Humanist-
Atheist & agnostic- I do not believe that there is any evidence for god or gods. On the contrary, suffering shows that either there is no god, r that she/he/it doesn't give a damn. Or else is powerless. Either way...
Ex-christian- have a Master of Diivnity degree. And I even was paid to write sunday school lessons. But that was a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...
I collect books (no, I haven't thoroughly readf them all- not enough time), kaleidoscopes. I have a small collection of rocks, minerals, glassware.
I enjoy photography.

Dear Democrats with Irrational Exuberance.
HumanistJohn comments on Sep 14, 2020:
What the hell is this? fox "news" is a propaganda channel. They lie all the time. Look at fucker carlson with all his lies, such as the immigrants are coming to take your homes. And of course we know that billy barrf (the 'f' is not a typo) is going to try & "prove" that any investigation into russian involvement was unwarranted. But it wasn't/isn't. Even the Senate republicans admitted that people in the tRump campaign had contacts with russian agents (read the report, all you repug bastards). So this "investigation" is more of barrf's lies and bullshit to protect the wanna-be dictator, orange blob pos. A vote for tRump is a vote for putin.

* And what adds to the problem is all the damn lies of the right-wing, crap like * - The Green New Deal means that you can't have hamburgers anymore. * - The immigrants are coming to take away your houses * - Black Lives Matter & AntiFa re coming to kill you * - Liberals are going to take all your guns away The lies go on and on... They bitch about elites. Who is more elite than that self-proclaimed billionaire, the orange-blob piece-of-shit?

HumanistJohn comments on Sep 19, 2020:
"If he dies, he dies"- I bet he'll die happy. It is so freeing to have my girlfriend on top. I love looking at her face- her eyes and the ecstasy she's showing. And then there's her beautiful boobs with that "brave vibration" as the poet said. And I can play with her boobs and suck her tits. Glorious!
Are women embarrassed by the TV ads for Feminine cleansing products?
HumanistJohn comments on Sep 19, 2020:
Our culture wants to sell and sell again. All that's really needed are soap and water- just regular normal cleanliness. Although a woman should use a soap with the proper ph level for optimal health. I've found that so many woman insist on taking a shower before having sex (especially when she's receiving oral sex). One time a girlfriend was going to take a shower. She stopped and said "you really don't care, do you (about her having to take a shower)? Personally, I think the whole issue has to do with the way our society treats and devalues women. I was going to say "patriarchal society." While that's true enough, it's unfortunate that many women add to these attitudes.

HumanistJohn comments on Sep 30, 2020:
I started to watch the so-called debate (aka, shit-show). I had to mute it. Couldn't stand ob-pos and all his lies. Chris Wallace should have stopped him every time from interrupting. The Lincoln Project said in heir commentary that the Moderator should have a switch to turn off microphones. Taleaway- ob-pos is incapable of playing by the rules.

HumanistJohn comments on Nov 10, 2020:
If you really want a laugh, read the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. jesus was a little shit- killing people who pissed him off. There's akso a story where the boy jesus was molding pigeons out of clay by a stream- and on the sabbath, mind you. A passerby, horrified, went to joseph & said "your son is doing what's not lawful on the sabbath." joseph sought out jesus. Are you doing what's not lawful on the sabbath, playing with clay pigeons?" jesys clapped his hands; the pigeons came to life and flew away. "What pigeons" jesus said.

HumanistJohn comments on Nov 12, 2020:
he will also get $$$ from russian oligarchs, as commanded and engineered by putin. ob will whine for 4 more years how the election was stolen from him. Then he'll run again. I wouldn't be surprised if he picks ivanka as his running mate. The only way to stop this continuing nightmare is to prosecute him, take all his (supposed) $$$ away, and jail him & his family for all his crimes. That includes, but not limited to, bannon, miller, "alternate facts" conway and, of course, "I'll never lie to you" mcenay.
