Religion is delusion, pure and simple. Maybe a happy one for the believers, but still, total delusion.
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
Absolutely true.
Is religious belief weird?
UltimateMike comments on Jun 29, 2018:
The vast majority of people believe in a religion. I define the term "weird" as "unusual, often with a negative implication". I don't think you can can consider unusual when it's the vast majority of people
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
Of course you can. Being a majority has nothing to do with unusual.

GodlessBastard comments on Jun 29, 2018:
You must begin with the realization that human beings are not "rational" creatures. The part of the brain that does the heavy lifting for symbolic thought arrived late in the evolutionary day and is very much subservient to its predecessor "brain stem" neurons. Simply put, human behavior is ...

@Donotbelieve I do love fucking. And a bit of sucking thrown in for excitement. 69.
Oh no.
jlynn37 comments on Jun 29, 2018:
That meme very well sums up the human problems we all face. I VOTE. I strive to NEVER do to anyone what I would NOT want done to me. I too have a hard time with those 2 words and have to give them careful thought.

@Stacey48 YES. But I can effectively deal with the affects of both.
I don’t like videos.
JustKip comments on Jun 29, 2018:
I never look at videos without a good description introducing them. "Hey, look at this" gets a no from me every time
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
I might add that just by clicking on an unknown link to anything on the internet opens your computer to all sorts of nasty happenings. Don't do it no matter how curious your are as scammers and hackers use human curiosity to do their dirty work.

I have never played that particular type of bingo but I think I might really enjoy it.

Marionville comments on Jun 29, 2018:
Welcome Michel, it takes a lot of guts to walk away from the Catholic Church so well done! My grandfather left the Catholic Church and became a freethinker and raised my father to think for himself. In turn my father brought my brother and me up the same way. I am so grateful to both of them as I...
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
@Marionville and those are the very obscure mentionings in a couple of historical writings I refer too and they are questionable. You believe your sources and I will believe mine. No problem there.
Would you rather work day shifts, night shifts or graveyard shifts?
jeshuey comments on Jun 29, 2018:
I really, really like being retired. I'm all shifted out.
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
Retired for over 23 years now and still going strong and enjoying every minute of it.

That would have been my choice also, if I would have had a choice.

jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
In my opinion the only evidence that exist is the bible (which is not evidence but a claim) and some obscure mentioning in a couple of historical writings and they are questionable.
First day here.

To begin with, there is no "one size fits all" for humanity, but I tend to agree with what you have stated

@JacobChalupnik I have no idea what that even means, but thank you for your response.
Is it possible to 'kill yourself' just by thinking about it?
AnneWimsey comments on Jun 29, 2018:
If you take pills, as soon as you get sleepy, your body will vomit them up, or try to. If you try to drown yourself, your body will fight hard to swim. I think that answers your question. And oh, get help....this is not a "well" thing you should be spending time on!
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
@AnneWimsey I know nothing about the statistics of this so can say no more than what I have already stated and I stand by that statement.

Anyone can run. The real concern is whether he has a following.
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
The real concern is whether EVERYONE will go to the polls and vote and not just the base for the ones in power.
I need some advice.

@Flyingsaucesir I enjoyed watching his serious "The Power Of Myth" on PBS
If you didn't notice today is a full moon.
patchoullijulie comments on Jun 29, 2018:
Yes, for the last couple of days people have been acting weirdly, more so than usual. The full moon explains that. Guess there will be more of the same today.....yay :( so I have that to look forward to. :S

Many people successfully commit suicide by pill overdose and the same is true for drowning.
Communes.
patchoullijulie comments on Jun 29, 2018:
I would love to participate in something like that. I would be wary of power hungry participants though.....that is always a threat.
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
Greedy, power hungry humans will always be with us in every aspect of life.
Oh, FFS.
Ellatynemouth comments on Jun 29, 2018:
Reading through that article, there is a noticeable absence of any atheist choice. It's all about reform. At a push this piece is Mormon apologism. As the OP states accurately, this Mormon practice is child abuse.
jlynn37 replies on Jun 29, 2018:
It is absolutely essential that they do so.
Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.

When I try to open my mind to how insignificant we are in the universe, I kinda lose it. It's just too big to comprehend.
