There are individuals who believe that being spiritual and religious are not the same thing.

Sticks48 comments on Jan 2, 2020:

Of course they can be. Religious has to do with religion. Religions are organizations. One can be spiritual, a word open to many interpretations, and not be a part of a religious organization.

What are three things you should not do?

Sticks48 comments on Jan 2, 2020:

1...Never live in the same country as your in-laws. 2...Never get pulled over by a motorcycle cop in the winter. You will definitely get a ticket, maybe two or three. 3...Never give an answer to the question, "guess how old I am", if that request comes from a woman. Your margin for error is incredibly slim. If you go too low they will think you are just really buttering their bread. If you actually guess their age, they will be disappointed. If you go to high, you ain't never gonna get any of that. Just REFUSE to answer.

Today I put together my first major project all by myself.

Guiding principles to life? That is a pretty broad subject, and could take a lot more time and thought than I would want to try and explain here. I handle depression by being depressed. Other than the two years I was on antidepressants in the 90's, i have not figured out away to control it when it kicks in.

Why do Christians get threatened and terrified by Atheists?

Sticks48 comments on Dec 28, 2019:

Because maybe they aren't that sure themselves. They are faced with the same lack of proof we are. When they see people who are very confident in their own non-belief. I think it makes them have some doubt as to their own beliefs. Blind faith is not as easy as it sounds for someone with a certain level of intelligence. IMO

Sticks48 comments on Dec 28, 2019:

Sometimes I sort of have these conversations in my head if it is important, but of course they never go that way. I learned a long time ago if you have something really important to say that might be uncomfortable or has the possibility of going off the rails is to write a letter, or in these times a text or email. It keeps the conversation from getting side tracked or turning into an argument.You can edit and make sure you say what you wish to say without interruption or change of subject. They may not listen to you as much in person as they are trying to think of what to say. They will read that letter or text. That has been my experience.

Sticks48 comments on Dec 26, 2019:

Everyone can look however they want. Most of the men and women I see over 50 don't seem to give a shit how they look. I am not one of those people. It is pretty obvious men seem to be more visual when it comes to attraction, but that is just biology and that ain't changing. I have also observed women are much more critical of the way other women wear their makeup or dress than men are. Men and women will be attracted to who they are attracted to, and that is fact.
