Can you die of a broken heart?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 21, 2018:
I will say absolutely NOT. You might die WITH a broken heart but not FROM a broken heart. A broken heart might cause enough stress and pain in one's life that could create other issues that could lead to death (like heart failure) but it is NOT a broken heart that kills you. IMHO I will use diabetes as an example. Diabetes is NOT a terminal or life threatening condition. I will over time cause other parts of your system to fail and you will die, but it is NOT the diabetes that kills you but the failure of other systems.

We all are in the winter to spring transition at this time so just hang in there.
Billy Graham, dead today at 99.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 21, 2018:
Billy Graham was just con a man who believed in his own con. The same applies to Franklin Graham and ALL religious con artists. IMHO
Billy Graham, dead today at 99.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 21, 2018:
ALL religious people cherry pick what they preach and choose to believe.

The dish ran away with the spoon.
Man created both his God and his Devil in his own image.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
I do like that.
If man doesn't exist does the the universe exist?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
It doesn't for the man who does not exist. That would imply that even to a non-existent god(s), the universe does not exist.
Weird?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
People can and do have very weird thoughts indeed. Fortunately they can easily be ignored.
What is it you like about Agnostic.com
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
So far there is nothing to dislike.
Does anyone have a problem with scammers.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
I have been on the internet and on dating sites for 23 years and know from experience what can happen here. Know that scammers abound on the internet. Take whatever actions you feel is necessary to stay safe and NOT become a victim. If you use this as your guide you can never become a victim: "I have one strict rule when I am on the internet, I will NEVER under ANY circumstances send money or gifts to ANYONE for ANY REASON on the internet .. I have NEVER done that and I will NEVER do that." Now have some fun and enjoy yourself.
Does your ideal partner exist?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
In my opinion, NO ideal partner exists here or anywhere else on this planet. Perhaps in your own imagination though.
Perspective
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
What flaws??? You obviously have me mixed up with someone else.
How do you deal with disappointment in life?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
Deal with them as necessary and move on.
I recently moved to Ohio.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
And? I wish you well and success in finding what you are searching for here and in your life.
I just joined last night so I'm getting the feel for the site. Does everyone like it?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
This is my go to site on a daily basis to share and learn of other's experiences in the secular community. I am also a current POF member and have been for years. Welcome to our community.
Can you fall in love with someone who you've never met in person?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
Yes and my own experiences online have shown that to be true.
Would you want to be famous?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
No. I do not want to be famous, I do not want to be wealthy, I am that I am and nothing more.
I was doing some reading about men being afraid to flirt and approach women.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
All my life, if I see a woman who I would like to meet, I will approach her, apologize for my forwardness, and ask if I could make her acquaintance. I have never had any bad reactions in doing that and have met many women. Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
Had an odd religious debate with a coworker. Where does Good and Evil come from?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 20, 2018:
My definition of evil. Evil is the deliberate harm done by a human to another human or life form. It is premeditated, with malice of forethought. Nothing in nature is evil (earthquakes, tornadoes, a rock falling on you, auto accident, etc). Only humans can be evil. IMHO
I notice that this site is mostly made up of people from the U.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
I have no reason to give them any thought what-so-ever.
Proving the unseen
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
There is absolutely no reason that a god(s) can not be proven to exist. All that would be required is for some tangible, verifiable, peer reviewed evidence to be presented. Until that actually happens, the existence of god(s), deities, the supernatural does not exist and is simply imaginary. IMHO
Would you deny someone a date if they were wearing something you didn't like?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
As long as they are sitting on the side of the bed and ready to take everything off, I am good.

Do the school shooters all identify as christian?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
It will never be mentioned what religion one is unless they are Muslim.
While growing up, I was raised by my parents as a Catholic.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
Please tell me why you "still believe there is a higher power". What evidence, facts and data do you have to support that belief or is it just what you want to believe, in other words the old "faith" nonsense?
Should you be friends first before dating or just go head and and date?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
You answered your own question.

jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
No to both questions.
Do women enjoy sex as much as men? Does it depend on who they're having sex with?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
If a man does it right, then a woman will most likely have more pleasure and enjoyment than a man.
So what is the solution to the online dating fiasco?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:
The most important thing to remember while on dating sites, in ALL situations: "I have one strict rule when I am on the internet. I will NEVER, under ANY circumstances, send money or gifts to ANYONE for ANY REASON". Don't be a victim.
Hugs & kisses.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 19, 2018:

jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
As far as I know, it is socially acceptable, it is just never done.
So what is the solution to the online dating fiasco?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
I have been on the internet and on dating sites for 23 years and I know from experience what can happen here. I have no issue with online dating sites and nothing needs to be fixed. The internet is an adult playground for role playing, fantasy games, scammers and just about anything else you can imagine. Accept it for what it is and see what can happen. It is free to try, you have total control of what you do here and no one is under any obligation to anyone else. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Your mileage may vary.
Congrats to all of you for seeing that the ideas presented by organized religion are a load of ...
jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
There has never been any evidence, facts or data to indicate that any god(s), deities, "higher power", supernatural exists and until some verifiable evidence, facts or data is produced, then said god(s), deities, "higher power", supernatural does not exist. In My Humble Opinion. ETA: "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence". Hitchen's Razor "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" Carl Sagan
How do you handle talking to a parent when they are politically opposite of you?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
Just say "I refuse to talk about politics". If he still persists, just walk away and out of his presence.

jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
They have to blame it on something since they have no intention of doing anything about it.
Social conservatives like to make the argument that being gay is a choice.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
Every human has the right of choice regarding ANYTHING as long as it harms no one or denies another their freedoms and right of choice.
How do you feel about profanity in music?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
I don't care for profanity ANYWHERE. ETA: I use some profanity myself on occasion but only when I am by myself.
Does anyone else struggle with feelings of despair?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
I can certainly relate to everything you stated in your OP. I pretty much have disconnected from the human situation on this planet as much as possible. It is just ignoring the almost hopelessness of the situation however.
Is ignorance bliss?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 18, 2018:
It may be bliss but it is a very ignorant state of being and existence.

"How can you be a moral person and be an atheist?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 17, 2018:
Morality is doing what is right regardless of what you are told. Religion is doing what you are told regardless of what is right.
Loneliness
jlynn37 comments on Feb 17, 2018:
I think having a hobby that you enjoy will make you forget your loneliness. Just getting out of my house and enjoying being in nature is good for me.
Did you arrive at your decision of belief by means of research and critical thinking or merely ...
jlynn37 comments on Feb 17, 2018:
Neither. For me it was simply observing reality and how Nature works and how religion doesn't work.

OMG, jebbus on an automobile bumper. I'm a convert.
I see a lot of debate and memes on Facebook about guns.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 17, 2018:
Gun owners always reference their second amendment rights. If that is their go to for gun ownership, then I think they should be required to register as a member of an established militia, participate in that militia, and be available for immediate call up when a need is declared, as that is a defining part of the 2nd. Just sayin'
To all the old men like me (over 60): Don’t you love and hate this group at the same time?

Not me. I find it so much easier to just go with the flow. Your mileage may vary.
If the Object of Your Affection became allergic to your pet, what would you do?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 16, 2018:
I have always believed that if a person has a pet with them in their photos, that person will choose the pet over a partner almost every time in a conflict. Just my personal opinion. Your mileage may vary.
Am I an apostate if I never was truly religious?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 16, 2018:
Although you say you were never "truly" religious, if you were a member of, participated in, attended religious activities, I would say that your are an apostate. If you were never involved with religion, a church or religious activities in any way, I would say you are NOT an apostate. Just my opinion of course.

How do you feel about (boy) scouting?

Can anyone tell me what being "tagged" means on this website.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 16, 2018:
It means that the message they are sending is meant specifically for YOU and usually in response to a message you sent.
Besides a partner or desire to find one, what helps bring meaning and purpose to your lives?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 15, 2018:
I do not have a partner and have no real desire to find one. Loving my family, traveling and being in nature and observing it's wonders, listening to music, having the freedom to live my life as I see fit, living a stress and worry free life brings meaning and purpose to my life.

Another f@!king mass shooting here in America! At least 17 dead, 23 injured.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 14, 2018:
I have to say that the USA is a very sick, fearful and violent society and violence is the solution to everything here, that's just how we do things and life is very cheap (unless you are a Blastocyst, zygote, fetus). In My Humble Opinion.

A controversial one.
jlynn37 comments on Feb 14, 2018:
I agree. When one is dead, take the organs. They have no say about it and totally useless to a dead person. While alive they have complete autonomy and have everything to say about it. After death, they no longer exist and what is left is an empty vessel that was once occupied.

I have 4 conditions that must be met before I would contact anyone: 1 They must live reasonably close to me so we can even meet. 2 They must be attractive to me 3 They must be desirable to me 4 They must be a willing participant with me I must add that I rarely contact anyone and only respond to women who contact me. That is just me.
For all the singles, how long have you been single?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 14, 2018:
I have been single for 50 years and have live alone for 40 years. I am NOT lonely and rarely do I feel lonely. I am a loner and an introvert and prefer to be by myself most of the time, but I enjoy spending time with a woman when I have the opportunity to do so, which isn't very often. We are all individuals and there is no one size fits all for humanity. Know Thyself and To Thine Own Self Be True.

Do you find it attractive dating someone who smokes cigarettes?
jlynn37 comments on Feb 13, 2018:
I have dated and had relationships with women who smoke but they have to offer something exceptional for me to do that. I am an affectionate man and I enjoy kissing and I kiss with tight lips when kissing a smoker and I enjoy soft, moist, sensual kisses. Your mileage may vary.
