Atheism and socialization

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Not in the least.

Name something men need to stop doing.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Stop being overly sensitive.

Well this should be interesting. What is bothering you today?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

I worry what the future holds.

Today is a rare day for me.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Sure do.

First day on here.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Hi and welcome. This site serves as both a dating and social media platform. I've been on here a little over two weeks now, and my overall opinion of this site is neutral, as I've had a mixture of positive and negative experiences. Hope you enjoy it though, take care.

About Life

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Who could determine that much? Anatomy comes to mind as a difference.

Hate and discrimination aren't the problem, it's the reaction to it.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

You got that right. Based on my observations over the years I find most of the times that those who cry prejudice etc are not really victims, but enjoy trolling others who do not agree with their world views. No one on the face of this planet has the power to make you feel bad unless you give them permission to do so.

Do you believe in love at first sight?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

The flames of love can ignite at any given moment. Hang in there, you never know when that special someone will cross paths with you. Take care.

Eyes I love eyes. They are the window to the soul.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Indeed, and directly connected to the brain. Eyes say alot about people.

Hello everyone, I'm new here. Learning how to use it. Any suggestions? ?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Hi, and welcome to the community. The app is easy to get used to, comment on other posts and have fun. Take care.

I like to talk politics and religion.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Welcome to the community.

Students did not benefit from studying according to their supposed learning style

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Amazing somewhat, but honestly not surprising to me.

This Stormy Daniels fiasco is a waste of resources and energy.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Immigration reform concerns me alot, and yeah, I agree that whole story is just a distraction from what is truly important.

What is a valuable news site(not opinion and heavily profit driven medium like Fox) that is truly a ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

That's a good question. I think most of the well known and even lesser known media sources are in it for profit. I liked InfoWars, followed Alex Jones for years, but recently have questioned some of his motives. I like listening to Jesse Ventura, and while he doesn't care for either side, he tends to lean right. RT News is perhaps the most balanced and least in it for profit. Lastly...The Federalist, which leans mostly right, and I believe this source highly values our Constitution. I need to check out the Freethought Project sometime, I heard it's informative. Hope that helped some.

Dating while separated

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

I would wait until the divorce is finalized, then start to date again. That's just my opinion, and this is a tricky topic, you have to do what you feel is the right thing to do. Take care.

Before my mom died, she said find your tribe.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

For what it's worth, welcome to the tribe. Most of us in this group disdain progressive liberal ideaology. Unique individuals make life more interesting.

Yep...this is about right.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Sure is.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

I tested the link, and it works just fine.

Did you find calm when you left religion behind?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Since I gave up on not believing in bronze age myths and deities, my life has gotten far better. Fear is an emotion that can cause people to make bad decisions and harm others in the process, and most modern day religions use fear to keep members of their cults oppressed.

FYI: I just watched a documentary on CBC News Marketplace regarding oil changes on your car.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 17, 2018:

Sure have, and thank you for sharing that.

Do you read the comments on a post from the top down, or bottom up?

I at times wonder if anyone really reads all the comments, and member bios as well?

Well in my humble opinion, of course without intending to offend anyone who thinks differently from ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Don't feel bad, I forgot too. It's a bummer growing old;)

What would you do if your spouse of many years developed cancer and ultimately is unable to ambulate...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Certainly not, as my spouse I would have vowed to take care and love her through sickness and in health, so she would be very close to me.

Sadly, I rather doubt it, in this day and age of instant gratification. Welcome to the community by the way.

What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Overcome a dark nature through solid efforts.

It is said that the way to a mans heart is to keep his stomach full and his balls empty.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Not really. Heart has nothing to do with it, every connection starts within the brain. If there is no spark in the brain, there will be no flame. I could indulge in extravagent foods to satisfy hunger, and a lovely lady could assist in draining my jewels until they run dry, but ultimately none of that matters if there is no mental connection. Mental health is a start, then physical and emotional health shall follow afterwards. In other words, I'm not hard to please, but I require more out of life than just physical pleasure. (For the ladies out there) Keeping my stomach filled and or "aiming" for my jewels would not get you far, go for the brain. Hope this answered your query, take care.

I just sneezed at work and a few people replied bless you, which I say as well when someone sneezes.

Haha, do whatever you feel is appropriate for the situation. I somehow managed to reach level 7 in less than nine days time.

What can I do to be a better representative of atheists?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Easy, do not bash other point of views you may disagree with, including political views. If someone bashes you first, then retaliation could be in due course, just don't go on the offense first. Afterall, in a world of 7+ billion human beings, there is bound to be many varying views, and we all should strive to get along with each other and live in peace. Good post that asked a good question.

Neither do I.

Sexism

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

You bet they can, and I've certainly dealt with some on at least two jobs in the past right off the top of my head. That however is a topic the mainstream media sources love to stay silent on.

Should I drop this into the gun control group and say "We must ban these a-salt weapons.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Aw do it man, do it! It's fun making anti gun progressives foam at the mouth!

Just walk up to a liberal and say this. "Gun control?

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

Haha, good one!

I’m liberal or progressive on most issues.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 16, 2018:

I have no qualms with abortion, the choices of others is of no nevermind to me. I will say this much though, if a woman decides to have a child and the man does not wish to be a father, that man should reserve every right to walk away obligation free if the woman decides to carry the pregnancy to term. LGBT rights- they already have rights, you do realize if another individual commits what could be perceived as a prejudiced act they would face criminal prosecution. When I live in a country where someone is forced to make a cake against their will for a homosexual couple, I defy anyone to tell me the lgbt community does not have rights. I am not convinced on man-made global warming, but do recognize that the Earth's weather patterns are changing due to natural causes, and thus I am absolutely for alternative energy sources and recycling. Of course I am for separation of state and religion, or else I wouldn't be here now would I? Lastly, I am very pro firearm rights and vehemently opposed to any "sensible" restrictions. Why, might you ask? Just look at the city of Chicago, which has some of the strictest gun control measures in the country, and yet persists as a haven for violent crime that includes guns, so thus is solid proof that no amount of legislation would curb gun related violence as criminals do not obey our laws. The leftist progressives are fueled by raw emotions, and it's a well known fact that when someone responds to a situation based off of emotion they would not make a logical and reasonable decision, so I don't want them telling me what I can and cannot have in what's supposed to be a free country with minimal government involvement. @Lancer @Trajan61

Is there link between a lack of religious belief and liberalism? If so what is that link for you?

There could be, but not in my case. Truth be said, politics don't phase me much.

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 15, 2018:

Personally, I'm not here for the dating part. On the other hand, I've received relatively little feedback on most of my posts and have observed the same few individuals receiving loads of feedback on some of the most basic of topics. Just my opinion, all in all this is a decent forum to connect with fellow heathens. Being that I struck out already with a few women on here who I had passively discussed romance etc with, I think I'm going to avoid the dating part from now on.

They have a point ...

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 15, 2018:

"Friends with benefits"

SpikeTalon comments on Apr 15, 2018:

That would depend largely upon the individual, if he/she is looking for a deep relationship or if a roll in the hay would do just fine? Personally, I've enjoyed quite a few casual encounters with women both younger and older than myself, and none of them were interested in anything long term. Besides, "brief encounters" could make for excellent mood boosters and alleviating stress threshhold.

I was under the impression this site was supposed to be a haven for logical free thinkers...guess I was wrong. The lack of deep critical thinking on here is appalling, and quite a few were added to my block list. I'm not fond of blocking, but all the same I don't desire to lower my IQ listening to or debating folks like that.
