In the years I worked as a newspaper editor, I’d have my reporters cover the civic groups when they did something cool, was often asked to speak at their meetings, and also was courted by many of them. I liked the Elks the best: they tended to be down-to-earth and rowdier than the others. Their clubhouses had pool tables and beer. Some genuinely nice and fun folks, but that pledge was centered on a belief in a deity and I just couldn’t go there.

I think we need to tread carefully on this territory: Your proposed assumption doesn’t withstand scrutiny. First, being “Jewish,” religiously or culturally, doesn’t necessarily translate into support for Israel or its current policies. In Israel itself, there is more vigorous debate and opposing viewpoints than we hear about in the US. Also, in terms of numbers and financial clout, some of the most strident, pro-Israel support in the US comes from non-Jewish christian groups who believe that crisis and war in the Middle East fulfills biblical “prophesies” and will hasten the end of the world that they crave.

Why, oh why, people listen to the rantings of entertainers, athletes and the like? This fool’s remarks had nothing to do with “correctness,” political or otherwise. They were just puerile and tasteless, and hardly approach a university level. (Then again, I know plenty of high-schoolers who wouldn’t dream of saying anything so dumb...)

The-Krzyz comments on May 14, 2019:
No. Love in not an “intangible:” like all emotions, it is a physical phenomenon rooted in our biochemistry. It can be observed and analyzed, and we are getting better at tracking it in real time. None of which can be said for any of your gods.

Good for you! When we are in that “space,” it often feels like you’re the only one. Yet, good stats show that one in five of us have similar feelings. Reconnecting to the rest of humanity can be so healthy and joyful! I still have to manage my issues, but it helps a lot to understand that it doesn’t make me so different from everyone else, but instead is just part of the “baggage” of being human. Thanks for your post: I’ve found that sharing our stories can give both hope and better understanding to others.

The-Krzyz comments on May 9, 2019:
I got rid of my front lawn over the last few years. An unidentified plant showed up a while back, and I noticed it displacing the grass as it grew. So, I let it! Now, my yard is covered in flowers from this low-maintenance, drought-resistant plant, which some believe is native to South Africa. Neighbors strolling my little street often stop to enjoy the sight, which I think is nice!

Sometimes it seems like half my life has been spent recovering from something or other (including an open heart, quadruple bypass surgery). A great way to learn about your body! Just keep going, learn from your injuries, and — as you said — work on other areas and build up the area around the injury. Always works for me!

So im busy at work on my breaks teaching my self trig, and find it in-trig-uing! Lol i am right now ...
The-Krzyz comments on May 7, 2019:
As a youngster, I learned basic navigation through sailing and exploring my local mountains and deserts. In high school, after struggling mightily with algebra, imagine my surprize when I launched into geometry anf trig to realize I already had a handle on the basics and understood how they were useful! I thought doing proofs was fun, and appreciated that there’s room for some creativity doing them. Trig gives us another great way to describe our world. Good luck, and enjoy!

Interesting fact
Animal rights were recognised before childrens rights.
The-Krzyz comments on May 6, 2019:
I’ve seen people lavish more attention and resources on their animals than on another human being, regardless of age. Also, here in the US, one hears much hyperbole about “the children” in the abstract, yet few resources and little thought given to the needs of real children. Heck, our government occasionally kidnaps them and locks them up in cages ...

Closest I’ve come is having attended a few Unitarian/Universalist serbices, which were “churchlike” but more concerned with valuation of certain broad principles (love, charity, comradeship, justice, peace) rather than anything theological.
