How women’s reproductive rights stalled under Trump - Vox
LEPeff comments on Feb 2, 2018:
Can you think of a more ridiculous pairing than Donald Trump and the moral majority?
End of the world
LEPeff comments on Feb 2, 2018:
I agree with you. I think the Earth is tougher than we give her credit for. I've head a lot of people talk about humanity causing the end of the world...bullshit. The human race is a bad case of acne on the face of the planet and nothing more. We can't end the world. We can make it uninhabitable for ourselves, but our planet will be here long after humanity is gone.
Never make permanent decisions on temporary feelings.
LEPeff comments on Feb 2, 2018:
Too true.
The meaning of opaque is unclear - why?
LEPeff comments on Feb 2, 2018:
Clever Lady!
Facing Pain
LEPeff comments on Feb 1, 2018:
I think that a good deal of our difficulty in handling intense emotions like grief is because our society is so shallow and superficial that most of us, myself included, are not equipped to deal with it. People say stupid, but well meaning things to distract from the grief. I think that the best thing that I can do for someone who is grieving is to shut the fuck up and listen to them. I really don't know what else I can do to help.
I just had a long, stupid day. What do you do to unwind and relax?
LEPeff comments on Feb 1, 2018:
I go to agnostic.com or do yoga.

LEPeff comments on Feb 1, 2018:
Adding the concept of alway eliminates violence right?
Did you ever find yourself the outcast in school or in society now?
LEPeff comments on Feb 1, 2018:
I was a huge nerd/outcast in school, but the best revenge is doing well.

Dog went to see Cats [pge.sx]
LEPeff comments on Jan 31, 2018:
Wow! I'm a supporter of people having service animals if they need them, but some people take advantage of that and put their pets in a vest and call them service animals. I wonder if that was an example of someone abusing that system.
Is it "shallow" to care about looks when it comes to picking a partner?
LEPeff comments on Jan 31, 2018:
I think that we all have little things that are important to us individually and attractiveness can be subjective. It's nice to be around someone that looks nice, it gets old really fast if that person has a shitty personality.
Have you ever been told you look like someone famous?
LEPeff comments on Jan 31, 2018:
I've been told that I look like Jude Law....after he had a terrible accident involving fire and broken glass, but still, Jude Law!
Binge worthy TV Shows

Doctor Who, Legion, Rick & Morty

LEPeff comments on Jan 31, 2018:
Happy Birthday!
Do you find learning new things exhilarating or do you feel like learning is a tedious chore?
LEPeff comments on Jan 31, 2018:
It depends on what I'm learning.
How many places have you lived?
LEPeff comments on Jan 31, 2018:
I've lived in Northern Pa, southern Georgia, Volgagrad Russia, Tulsa Oklahoma, and the southern tier of New York.
I'm slowly making my way through the book, "The God Delusion.
LEPeff comments on Jan 31, 2018:
Richard Dawkins is amazing!
I'll pray for you!!!
LEPeff comments on Jan 31, 2018:
What goes through my mind depends on the context. If someone says that to me but it is obvious that the person really wishes me well I take it positively. If it's condescending I might say something like "Good for you!"
Food from nature [youtu.be]
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
It's kind of funny. When I was a kid my grandma would make a big pot of dandelion greens. Most people are too good to eat them now.
Are you watching the State of the Union tonight or boycott? No way am I giving 45 the ratings.
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
I can't watch. I'm conservative, but that man is our national embarrassment.
Who is your favorite villain?
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
Macbeth. In many good stories the hero starts out vulnerable and grows wiser, stronger, and more virtuous as the story progresses. It is the opposite in Macbeth. He starts out as a loyal soldier for his King and devolves into a villain with no qualms about murdering anyone who gets in his way.
What ever happened to Xtians being nice, caring, and loving?
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
Could you please explain who Xtians are? Thanks!
How much time per day/week do you spend exercising or engaging in some form of fitness?
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
About 6 hours per week split between judo, yoga, aikido.
Other than John Lennon's "Imagine," is there another atheist/agnostic song.
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
Jethro Tull had a couple, my God and hymn 43 are two that I can think of.
Do you take after anyone in your family?
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
My father died before I was 2 years old and I don't have any memories of him, but his friends said that I act just like him.
Can I learn microbiology through osmosis if the book is open on my lap while I scan Facebook??
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
I think you have to read it. Just don't use a black marker as a highlighter like I did.
What are your thoughts on the quote?
LEPeff comments on Jan 30, 2018:
I love it!
If you get it we can be friends.
LEPeff comments on Jan 29, 2018:
I though that the Walrus was Paul.
When you left your religion you followed, do you now consider it to be the most annoying religion ...
LEPeff comments on Jan 29, 2018:
My family pushed me into born again Christianity, but I never bought into it. For a while Iw was a practicing Jew. I still look at Christianity is more annoying.
Some people say that practicing gratitude is good for your health.
LEPeff comments on Jan 29, 2018:
I'm blessed with three great kids, I have a job that I love, and I'm able to fun things every week.
My mother has been on my mind a lot lately.
LEPeff comments on Jan 29, 2018:
I'm sorry to hear that. It might be worth reaching out to her, but it's obviously a risk. I was exceptionally lucky with my mom. She did not always like or accept what I did, but I knew that she always loved me. She has been gone for over two years now and I still miss her. If you can patch things up with her it would be great, but that is something that you will have to do together. Good luck.

Anyone ever have a DNA ancestry test?
LEPeff comments on Jan 29, 2018:
I've thought about it, but I haven't followed through yet.
Is your state you live in a super religious state?
LEPeff comments on Jan 29, 2018:
I like in a very religious area also. I'm not sure that religion stops people from having common sense. I think that people with no common sense are more likely to be religious.

LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
Jesus Christ goes into an inn, gives the owner a hammer and some nails. Jesus asks "Can you put me up for the night?"
What’s your “guilty pleasure” song?
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
I really hate to admit this, but I love to hear Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla ice.
Nutrition. Do you trust the experts? What do you believe to be true about health & nutrition?
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
I think that you are 100% right when you say the closer a food is to it's natural state the better it is for you.
Hiker bikers?
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
Nope, but I should bike when the weather gets warmer.
Conversations
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
I'm sorry. It sounds great, but my selfish kids will want to eat before we barely get started. I've fed them now, but I just couldn't do 16 hours today. :<(
Tiny versions...
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
Is that a tiny pineapple or a regular sized pineapple being held by a giant?

Why Won't God Heal Amputees?
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
The placebo effect is an incredible thing. If you have some condition, but your brain releases endorphins you can get temporary relief from a lot of conditions. That is why faith healing works. When the temporary effects wear off it's either because the sufferer's faith was not great enough or they did something to displease God. Either way it's the sufferer's fault. None of this works with amputees.
(Slang). Can you educate me in the art of urban language?
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
Wow, I thought that cattywompus was an old timey term.
What are your opinions on prostitution?
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
I have very mixed feelings about this. I'm a libritarian and feel that any adult should be allowed to do whatever they want so long as they are not hurting anyone else. Unfortunately many sex workers have a history of victimization and exploitation and are probably not really willing participants in the trade. In situations like that they require protection not prosecution.
Why do people with mental illnesses get referred to as crazy?
LEPeff comments on Jan 28, 2018:
It is easier to call someone crazy than it is to look deeper into what is really going on. You can dismiss whatever is said by someone that's "crazy". That term is dehumanizing, it literally takes away your value as a human being. I've worked in the Mental Health field for years and I can tell you that having multiple diagnoses could say more about your evaluator than it does about you. Clinical diagnoses are not as accurate as medical ones. I could go on for days about this, but I won't bore you. Try to keep in mind that other people's simplistic views of you do not define you as a human being.
What TV shows are you currently watching?
LEPeff comments on Jan 27, 2018:
I'm a PBS & BBC nerd. I am really looking forward to Legion coming back on FX.
Do you have wanderlust?
LEPeff comments on Jan 27, 2018:

Yengling on the rare occasions that I drink, usually preceded by a shot of Jameson.
The year 2030, technologically speaking, what will the world look like?
LEPeff comments on Jan 27, 2018:
I'm wondering if we arn't over due for another dark age. Maybe the only technology that will work will be rocks and pointed sticks.
How much do brand names matter?

Not in northern Pennsylvania. That's one advantage of having shitty winters.
What would be your dream vacation? A place on bucket list that you dream of someday visiting?
LEPeff comments on Jan 26, 2018:
I would love to visit Japan.
What do you have out there for some good rockin tunes.
LEPeff comments on Jan 26, 2018:
Does it have to be from the 1980's? If not I vote for Type O Negative's cover of Seals & Croft's Summer Breeze.
Forever atheist?
LEPeff comments on Jan 26, 2018:
When I was a small child people scared me into believing, but in my defense I'm pretty sure I also believed in Santa then too.
I had a good day yesterday.
LEPeff comments on Jan 26, 2018:
Fantastic!
Where do you spend your vacation?
LEPeff comments on Jan 26, 2018:
I like a staycation to get things done around the house. Too often I allow myself to be pulled into trips to the Deep South in the middle of the summer. I'm an idiot. I almost never go in the winter when it would be pleasant.
Frustrated
LEPeff comments on Jan 25, 2018:
I don't think that you will ever be able to change a religious person's mind because no matter how logical your argument because, generally, religious people believe in changing the facts to fit their beliefs instead of changing their belief to fit the facts. If you are able to learn to tune others out it might make life a little less frustrating for you.
If your tongue could only process one type of flavor, which would it be?
LEPeff comments on Jan 25, 2018:
I would choose bitter because avoiding sweet and savory flavor so would help me lose weight, avoiding salty would lower my blood pressure, and being able to recognize bitter flavor could help me avoid being poisoned.
General vent about being atheist in a very Christian community.
LEPeff comments on Jan 25, 2018:
Why does God get all the credit when good things happen but he does not get any of the blame when things go wrong? I actually think doing a bible study can be a positive thing under the right circumstances. If the bible study group allowed you to use critical thinking skills and not limit things to just a few bible verses it really does not support Christian doctrines. As a young man I read the King James Bible from cover to cover. I'm really glad that I did because it pointed out the inconsistencies in the bible. It's amazing how few Christians have thoroughly read their own bible and it's surprising how many atheists have read it.
Do you like comedy? If so what style? Who is/are your favorite performers?
LEPeff comments on Jan 25, 2018:
I've been a Monty Python fan for decades. Watch Life of Brian.
For those of you who were formerly religious, were you engaging in behavior that your religion ...
LEPeff comments on Jan 25, 2018:
The church that I was forced to attend as a child found most thoughts, not actions but thoughts sinful. Looking back I understand why that church frowned on thinking. It did not have a lot of members who were good at thinking. As a younger adult I studied Judaism. I have committee abominable acts that have included eating shell fish, cheese burgers and pork. I've even lit a fire on a Saturday morning. I must admit that none of the religions I've had close involvement will have prohibited coffee.

What would be the definition of hell to you?

Spending eternity with born again Christians.

LEPeff comments on Jan 24, 2018:
I'm an atheist because all of the evidence that I've been able to find shows that science is the best way to find answers. If facts pop up that prove the existence of God or gods, then I will change my mind. Faith is believing in something in spite of the evidence. Rationality is changing your beliefs based on the evidence you have.

The religious activists on the rise inside Trump's health department - POLITICO
LEPeff comments on Jan 24, 2018:
I'm not a fan of either Trump or the religious right. That pairing is a deal with the devil, but purely for political expediency. Mr. 2 Corinthians does not share the religious right's moral values and I can't understand how why the "moral majority" can support the p---y grabber and chief.
What commercials have permanently burned themselves into your mind?
LEPeff comments on Jan 23, 2018:
I've fallen and I can't get up.
One thing I see occasionally is the "if there is no proof then it must be fake/non-existant" ...
LEPeff comments on Jan 23, 2018:
I try to be logical, I do have a stupid superstition. I feel that if I'm prepared for a problem it won't happen, but if I'm not ready for a problem I'm inviting disaster.
Generation Gap Do you see your generation as better, stronger, tougher than the one after or ...
LEPeff comments on Jan 23, 2018:
I think that there are people that might not fit the trend that many other people in their generation set, but I think things started to go down hill after the generation "Greatest Generation."
What is yourt favorite book?
LEPeff comments on Jan 23, 2018:
The Ancestor's Tale by Richard Dawkins.
Any other RUSH fans on the site?
LEPeff comments on Jan 23, 2018:
2112 and Moving Pictures were great albums. Do you like Jethro Tull?
Are there others here, who have felt the loneliness in your soul, that feels like a kind of hell?
LEPeff comments on Jan 22, 2018:
It's hard to be isolated, but it is worse to be lonely when you're in the middle of a crowd.
I’m sure this has been covered in depth , so pardon the repetition.
LEPeff comments on Jan 22, 2018:
And Christians do too.
Hello, I'm new here and just wanted to meet people.
LEPeff comments on Jan 22, 2018:
Hi Beasley. I just read your profile and you sound cool. I'm also an atheist and conservative. I'm more of a libritarian than a republican. I think that people should have the freedom to do what ever they want so long as they do not harm anyone else. What music do you like?
What moral code do you follow now that you are non-religious?
LEPeff comments on Jan 22, 2018:
I have not been religious for most of my life and most of the religious involvement I have had was due to coercion. I don't buy the argument that morality comes from religion. I have read the entire King James Bible. The concepts of slavery, genocide, rape, child murder, and incest are all supported in the bible. The problem with religion is that people use it to justify what ever antisocial activity that they want to commit.
What if you are wrong and there IS a god
LEPeff comments on Jan 22, 2018:
Valhalla sounds like much more fun than Heaven.
What if you are wrong and there IS a god
LEPeff comments on Jan 22, 2018:
I know many people who are absolutely convinced that they will go to heaven. If I had to spend eternity with most of them I think I'd be in Hell.
Hello! I'm basically trying to get enough points to actually use the site... hows everyone doing?
LEPeff comments on Jan 22, 2018:
Hi, I'm mostly trying to find people that I can have an intelligent conversation with. I like to be active too, but I can be clumsy and sometimes hurt myself.
Anyone besides me excited about Cosmos new season this spring?
LEPeff comments on Jan 22, 2018:
It will be great. There are not a lot great science shows out there. I would love to see Richard Dawkins have a regular series on Evolution.
