SpikeTalon's Profile

Live for the moment because tomorrow isnt promised.

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Yes indeed!

Thank you all for your kind words and support it means a lot to me.

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I agree.

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

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Can't say I am, and in the future I would like to see government regulated cyber schools phase out physical schools, as technology should be made to better serve humanity. I like AronRa, I hope he wins too.

I don't think most women require a drop-dead handsome man, but most of us are more likely to be ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Fair enough, but some of us are camera shy.

So I just volunteered with Junior Achievement.

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Never heard of it before.

Hmmmmm, late or early?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

How about not soon enough?

Age of member

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

(Raises hand).

I just want to be the reason that some woman somewhere lowers her standards.

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Okay...

Atheist Alliance of America | Incubator For Secular Activists

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Indeed so, and thank you for sharing.

People make the assumption that I “left god” or “lost faith” when I tell them I don’t ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I started to seriously question things in my teens.

Is there room for media censorship?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Good post David, you raised a good question.

Substitutes for Religious Practices (1) Why wait for religions to decline more ?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

A little more independent critical thinking would substitute the bs that is referred to as prayer.

I'm a curious person, interested in my fellow humans - I think of childhood and how it affects us as...

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I would agree that environment along with upbringing influences and shapes and makes us what we are/become as adults.

Is it normal to be deathly afraid of relationships?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Not sure if it's normal or not, but a little uneasiness isn't necessarily a bad thing, always good to be cautious.

Books can someone suggest...

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest reading Jurassic Park.

Moby 'Natural Blues' feat. Christina Ricci - YouTube

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Thank you for sharing.

I considered myself asexual for a very long time.

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I have a feeling in time that will pass, and especially if you date once again, which would help take your mind off of things.

GADS! After reading LOADS of witty/sharp post responses and reviewing these hilarious profiles, some...

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I've never been fond of bios myself.

Do Some Atheists Seem Superior?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I wouldn't bother reasoning with folks like that, just ignore them.

Do Some Atheists Seem Superior?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I agree, and have run into folks who act childish like you described above.

Thoughts on constitutional carry?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I fully support such.

I have to do this again, just because it is weighing on my mind after a conversation I had a bit ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Allow me to answer your question once and for all...some of us gun owners prefer having a weapon such as an AR-15 simply because those in positions of power in this country have them, and when citizens have access to similar arms that the government military have, tyranny gets kept in control. Throughout history there have been enough examples of when the people do not have access to at least some of the same kinds of weapons that their government has, that said government could take them over. With gun owners such as myself, that would not be easy for our government to ever do such a thing. For the record, I respect the fact that you stated this question in a civil manner and gave a reasonable chance for the other side to explain, and I've long felt that if you do not wish to own such firearms then that is your choice as a free citizen, just don't tell other free citizens why they should not own certain types of guns is all. I also find it odd that hardly any gun control advocates ever are concerned about our police forces having access to military style weaponry, that surely is a concern as well. I personally knew of two gentlemen who (with some inside help) went to military bases and stole weapons to sell on the black market. If you want citizens to give up their AR's etc, then the same should go for the police, but I think you know as well as I know that's not going to happen none too soon. I hope that answered your query, and I implore you to consider what I said very carefully. Again, thank you for asking your question in a non-judgmental way, that much is appreciated.

I am the first person to stand for someone's right to protest, whether I agree with their position ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Keen observation there.

What's An 'Incel'? The Online Community Behind The Toronto Van Attack : NPR

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

In this day and age I trust no one.

I'm gonna quote my favorite author, Robert Heinlein.

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Indeed so.

Is there no positive rally point for atheists?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Yes, and there are plenty of other topics to talk about besides the religious nonsense.

BEING ACCEPTABLE! How hard do you try?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Not hard...

Post this over in the "free kers".

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Those folks don't have logic and reasoning skills though.

Theodore Roosevelt, was he a good president? Do you think he can win today if he was alive?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Yes and yes.

Wherever you are, it is your friends who make your world. -William James

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

Good saying there.

How do you want to be buried?

SpikeTalon comments on May 3, 2018:

I'm looking into donating my body to science or cryogenically frozen. What is this elusive energy you speak of? (Being that I'm not fluent in emoji, insert one of those curious questioning face emojis here).

You may love him or hate him but Bill Gates besides becoming one of the richest men on the planet ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Thank you for sharing.

It was before I realized I was a atheist and I was doing a cleanse for the first time.

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Uh...nope, not the least I can remember anyway.

Should we tell them? [agnostic.com]

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Absolutely yes.

The 10 Realities: 1.

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Interesting set there. When it comes to the Ten Commandments in the OT, I always felt yahweh left out one very important rule that should have made the list. The christian zealots should really follow this one that I thought up- thou shalt not act like thine horses ass, that one should really be in their holy book as many of them are guilty of doing that.

First, lets hope no religion makes it to Mars :D I asked some muslims which moon they will follow...

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Indeed...

Is it better to legalize prostitution or keep it illegal

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

As someone who believes in individual liberty, I say it should be legal, and let adults make decisions for themselves.

"How the hell can a person go to work in the morning And come home in the evening and have nothing ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Just a brief no conversation spell perhaps?

Is the Ouija Board a fun game for just entertainment?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

It is strictly for entertainment purposes...if you call that entertainment that is.

Any fans of Scandinavian literature? Can you recommend new talented authors?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Can't help you there.

Dating when unemployed?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

I too have found it difficult to both date while being unemployed and dating someone who was and not interested in being employed again soon.

Do you perceive yourself as a good catch?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

I perceive myself as being a balanced catch, neither good or bad.

I'm 52. Is that old?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

That's a bummer there, hope the pain goes away.

Saudi Arabia executing man for being an atheist. [ibtimes.co.uk]

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Unreal but not surprising though.

The bible and court?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

To my understanding you cannot get in trouble if you decline to swear upon it, and usually saying the words solemn affirmation instead would suffice.

What Groups do you Prefer?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

None really, can't say I identify with the group mentality, but to each his/her own though.

Facebook adding dating?!?!

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Never have nor ever will use Farcebook.

What is the most effective way to deal with Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons or other religious door ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Depends on the mood I'm in....being that they make a living selling lies, I figure I might lie to them a bit and say I'm Jewish and then proceed to tell them they are a blaspheming cult, and then see what happens afterward. I wouldn't recommend answering the door in the naked because there is a chance they might actually enjoy seeing that, and I just don't see any sense in giving folks like that any sort of pleasure, if you get my meaning. By the way in case you wonder, there was no typo above, I purposely said in the naked instead of in the nude because well...I just have to be different and sound a little unusual, hehe.

This question is irrational but I'm curious

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Yes.

Do you think this list is in correct order

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

While I do like Queen's music, I could think of other bands who were better than them.

If we're gonna be friends, you need to remember this ...

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Duly noted.

How do I stop a colleague from imposing her religious views without offending her?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

In this case you have to do what you feel is best for you regardless of what others may think about the matter.

How long is too long to wait to have sex

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

I usually go with the flow, but prefer to at least go on a few dates with the woman before a sexual encounter enters the equation.

I adore weird and cheesy, original and even BAD flicks.

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

How about Transylvania 6-5000, starring Jeff Goldblum and Ed Begley.

Religious logic

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

They have zero logic.

:) :) :) :) :)

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Quite right.

I found this interesting....Candace Owens on racism [youtu.be]

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

I came across a good post yesterday by MamaMOB (I think that was her name) that asked a good question about the topic of racism, and I fully agreed with her stance. I was appalled at some of the comments, especially the ones that claimed her question was an example of white privilege, which was total bs. I sure added quite a few radical leftist idiots to my block list after reading all of the comments.

Scientists detect helium on planet outside our solar system for the first time

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Cool discovery there.

Who never was religious?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

I never went to church or officially belong to an organized religion, but my mother talked alot about it and insisted that I believe as she did though. I'm glad I was never forced into going to church.

Why did you choose your username/avatar?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Spike, aside from being my nickname, is my slang talk for bullet, as a bullet pierces like a spike. Talon obviously is a reference to the eagle, my favorite bird, and also a well known symbol of liberty and justice. So loosely translated my online pseudonym means the bullet of justice. As for my chosen avatar, I change it sometimes, but I think my current one no one on here has yet to figure out its origin, so I'll leave that as a mystery for now. I'd be quite amused though if anyone does figure out what my avatar represents. I have two other online pseudonyms as well, and a third Spike Steele was an initial consideration for this app, but that name had quite a past to it so I settled on Talon instead.

Holy shit.

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

I have most of those folks blocked, so the posts you were referring to I cannot see. I'm going to message you.

Conway, AR It's so hard to meet people in the South, who share my beliefs.

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

I k there are more atheists up here in the NE states, but yeah, sometimes I wonder if I'll meet the right woman, a woman who is a heathen like me.

Has anyone ever heard of avoidant-dismissive attachment?

SpikeTalon comments on May 2, 2018:

Never heard of that before, might have to do some research on that.

Some samples of my artwork, for those interested...
