This guy is just as big of a crack pot as the TV evangelists. Must have done his PhD on some other planet.

Did you go to your senior prom/dance/formal?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 31, 2018:

You wouldn't catch me, dead, at a prom. I didn't go to any of my 3 college graduations, either. It's all phony.

What is your favorite cartoon show?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 31, 2018:

Oh, and Space Ghost!!!

What is your favorite cartoon show?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 31, 2018:

All time best cartoon ever was Underdog!!!

Do you think sometime in the next 50 years or so, A.I. will be running the world?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 30, 2018:

Didn't he just get elected??

What was your favorite subject in school?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 30, 2018:

Art. I have 3 degrees in it and teach it at the college level. I enjoyed drafting except for all the blasted competition we had to participate in.

How many Careers have you had?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 30, 2018:

1. Farmed cotton, corn, and sorghum for 14 years. 2ish. Did 18 months of Municipal work which could have been a career if I didn't change to #3, below. 3. Teaching College for the past 16 years.

Q: to the separated or divorced

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 30, 2018:

Married once for 23 years. She started hanging out with teacher friends at bars and you know what happens next. She hooked up with anything that moved. Then she moved out and moved one of her lovers in with her. I divorced her!! Best move I ever made. Didn't shed a tear. I transitioned very easily and gracefully into having my own life, free of her baggage. Funny thing was after a year of being divorced I decided to date, online and I ran across 3 of her dating profiles where she was claiming to be involved in Interior Design and Architecture and was claiming to be as much as 9 years younger than she really is. She's a Middle School science teacher 12 years older than me!! Crazy.

Has anyone found their valentine on here? I'm curious because I have been looking myself.

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 30, 2018:

I'm open to it. May not happen, here. But, I'm not trying too hard, either.

Online dating feels futile.

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 30, 2018:

I've done a little of it, but, no more!! It's so blasted pretentious. I used to ask, in my profile, how many of the women were actually the cause of their own divorce!!! If they were the cause, I didn't want to meet them. There should be a requirement that each profile accurately divulges the cause of the break-up. I bet half of the women out there were cheating!!! That door swings both ways. Ladies, it ain't always the guys who cheat.

What are your views on polygamy?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 30, 2018:

I'm not interested. Seems like most of the conversations, below, are talking about 3 people. Poly could mean a great many people, too. So where's the boundry drawn? To me, poly is nothing but the human rationalization of cheating. But, that's just me.

Will the January 2018 Supermoon occlude our view of Uranus!

Do you miss the social aspect of church?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 30, 2018:

No. They always bring up religion at church!

Most atheists/agnostics started out being raised into some religion they didn't buy into.

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 29, 2018:

First United Methodists and their savior, John Wesley...

How many of you believe in paranormal activity?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 29, 2018:

I don't believe in anything 'para' normal. If it did exist...it would be normal. Just like I don't believe in anything 'super' natural. If it did exist...it would be natural. But, that's just me.

What's your preferred dwelling type?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 25, 2018:

I'm building a site specific tiny house. Not like those high dollar ones mounted on trailers. The tiny house movement has become a haven for the wealthy people who think paying 30-40K for 100 square feet is somehow being 'responsible'??? No. Mine is more like a bug-out cabin, but I'm not a prepper; just a farm boy who is fed up with the way of life that has been dreamed up for me to live. I'm taking my life back:):)

Which are you more concerned about in a relationship: being smothered or being abandoned?

farmboy2017 comments on Jan 17, 2018:

Smothering and controlling. When my ex told me she rented an apartment, I went to Tractor Supply and bought the biggest two wheel hand truck they had and moved her sorry tail out!! And out she stayed. I divorced her!! Best move I ever made:)

Hey.... Who else is disgusted by the yearly murder of trees every December? I hate this.

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 26, 2017:

I'm disgusted at the whole idea of what 'happens' in December. The tree is only a small part of the delusional behavior.

Is there such a thing as business ethics?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 26, 2017:

As far as I'm concerned, there may be if the business is a sole proprietor. Corporations run on the same model: Generate as much income, in the shortest time possible, at the least cost/effort. That's the model that produces pollution, greed, corruption, dominance, monopolies...and Apple!

When people say that I always want to (but I don't) respond by kicking their ass and claiming it was god's will...

What is the most bizarre tale from the "babble"?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 19, 2017:

For me it's the one that starts with (an erroneous and intentionally misused interpretation) "in the beginning...blah, blah,..." and ends about a thousand pages later.

xmas trees

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 16, 2017:

It's an act of sacrifice

How many people actually think about this when they go to those xmas programs and see this ...

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 16, 2017:

They probably don't think about it...or much else, for that matter.

I absolutely can't stand the holidays.

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 16, 2017:

We have those ignorant bell ringers standing in the intersections of a major state highway collecting change! Some day one of them will get run over!!!! Craaaaaazy.....

What do you do to help the Environment?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 14, 2017:

I use drip irrigation on timers in my garden. And I make my own 'ollas' which are clay pots buried in the ground next to my plants. I'm a potter so I make my own. Re-purpose a lot of junk from the trash such as lumber and sheet metal roofing from construction jobs. I have no idea if this stuff helps???

I often post on FB about how delusional I find religion to be.

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 14, 2017:

Talk to themselves in their head! I love it!!

Is getting married important to non religious women.

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 14, 2017:

I was married and was faithful for 23 years and she cheated so I divorced her. I never wore a weeding ring. I didn't need it to prove a thing or to remind me or inform anyone else of my status. It's really all about the people involved. Some may need it and some, not. I could go either way. But I'll still never wear a ring. I'm not an animal and I won't be branded. Period.

If you found out the Christian God of the bible was real, would you worship him?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 13, 2017:

No, because I was made in his image. Why would I worship myself unless I was Donald Trump, ha ha!

Do you have a 'Pet theory' about what you think is the most likely explanation for Christianity ...

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 13, 2017:

Richard Dawkins' meme replication comes to mind.

Are atheist thinking wrong in their idea to tax the churches?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 13, 2017:

America is not a democracy. Never was. The founding fathers feared democracy. Democracy is only one step away from anarchy. America is a Republic. "...and to the Republic, for which it stands."

Texas Churches Lose Round One in Bid For Taxpayer Funds After Hurricane – Friendly Atheist

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 13, 2017:

They don't pay any money into the system so they shouldn't get any out of the system. They're hypocrites trying to play on both sides of the fence.

How often are you asked what church you attend? Follow up: What state do you live in?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 13, 2017:

I get that from time to time but not since I got divorced. I used to say I was "Methapalian" since I grew up in the Methodist church and the wife was Episcopal. I had a lot of fun with that! I'm in TX.

Nate Silver's 538 Just Exposed Trump's Job Creation Boasts As Total Bullsht

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 13, 2017:

I always want to ask "What kind of jobs?" More burger flipping, udder scrubbing, floor working jobs don't count. Those are crap jobs designed to keep the little guy making $$ for the big guy. And no corporate jobs either. Corporations are designed to put more and more resources under the control of fewer and fewer people. People have no say in their own lives.

What is your dream job? What job would you never like to do?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 13, 2017:

Forgot about the worst job to have...being a politician!!

What is your dream job? What job would you never like to do?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 13, 2017:

I'd live on my own little piece of land (which I already own) making my pottery. When I opened a kiln, cars would magically (can I say magic on this site?) arrive and take warm pots right from the kiln and leave their money with me. Then I'd make some more pots and repeat the process. Ahhhh, life would be good!!

Have you called your state's representatives to voice your opinion on an upcoming House or Senate ...

Ted Cruz is a psychopath

Does The Universe Have Intention?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 12, 2017:

The universe does not have 'intention'. We might try to project intention upon it but that's an attempt at anthropomorphism.

If you were brought up in revealed religion, what was one thing you absolutely despised about it?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 12, 2017:

Being expected to 'obey', 'obey, and 'obey' some more; all without thinking.

If every time you walked into a room, a theme song had to play, what would it be?

Black Sabbath "War Pigs"!!

About Jesus

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 11, 2017:

Don't we have to prove that 'God' exists, first, before we can even have a discussion of whether or not Jesus existed? I mean, if God doesn't exist that makes the next question moot, doesn't it?

Evangelical fervor

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 11, 2017:

In the evangelical environment were I live, college religion faculty mistake 'transcendence' for ecstatic moments. And these guys are PhDs. Oh, wait, my mistake. They graduated from seminary where there's absolutely no bias in the 'research'. Ha ha ha ha

Would you date someone who is trans?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 11, 2017:

No

Joel Osteen "Facts" LOL

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 10, 2017:

People like him are predators. Freud (love him or hate him) considered God to be a delusion based on human insecurity or the need for a father figure to take care of us. Joel, Billy Graham, Jimmy Swaggert and the rest of those people think they're just like that father figure and it empowers them. But when the stuff goes south they're impotent. They're nothing less than total frauds. Sad.

Joel Osteen "Facts" LOL

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 10, 2017:

Rick Warren, in California, is another one of these creeps.

What makes you leery about someone?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 9, 2017:

When I join a web community and within 2 hours a gorgeous 35 year old woman wants to send me her text ing number. I'm 54. She's a scammer!!!
