If you know, How do you know god doesn’t exist ?

mikecagain comments on Aug 27, 2018:

I think from a logical perspective, you don't need to prove the negative. Simply, god doesn't exist because of a lack of proof or evidence that he/she/it does. If you want to infer god's existence through the existence of other things, such as "god must exist because look at all the beautiful trees". Then there can be no other possible explanation for the existence of those trees, scientific or otherwise. Sadly, most people approach it from the perspective you provide. "I will believe until someone can prove it's not true."

Here is one that I haven't heard in a real long time. Helmet. [youtu.be]

Hi, everyone.

Someone said something interesting in a reply and it made me want to see how many people felt this ...

mikecagain comments on Aug 26, 2018:

100%? Wow. Those are some high expectations. I am confident there isn't another person in existence that is 100% like me. And I'm certain that's a good thing. I would hope to find someone who shares some interests, but then is tolerant and accepting of the things we don't have in common. To me, religious belief/non belief and politics are the must haves. It's hard for me to see spending a lot of time with someone if we aren't close to in sync in those areas. And I won't even say exact 100% there either, but at least down the same path. All the other stuff you can figure out and work around. It helps if you have some common things to share. It's also nice to have some differences to explore.

Do you ever think texting is going great but the phone conversation not so much.

mikecagain comments on Aug 25, 2018:

I was raised Catholic. It was a long slow journey away and finally an epiphany that brought me to where I am. Honestly, as far back as I can remember, I could always find something about christianity that didn't add up for me. The epiphany came when I stopped making excuses for all those things that didn't add up, and accepted reality.

Just because.

The best thing that can come from this f'd up administration is that it so infuriates the rest of the country that it gets enough people motivated to organize, and run, and vote, at every level. If we can finally flip the house, and maybe even the senate, then that's how things can really get done. So much of what Obama wanted to do was blocked because we didn't have conrol of the legaslative branch. Now that people have had a taste of the alternative hopefully they will turn out in numbers out the polls to help swing things back the other way.

Yep! Goes back a few years, but I remember. :) Milwaukee radio has always been pretty limited, and well, pretty terrible. They would never play anything like this. The only place I could hear any alternative music at the time was on MTV's 120 Minutes. So I would watch that show every week. I remember them playing this video. Pretty sure I even had the Shriekback CD at one point. Thanks for sharing!

I would love to see Trump impeached as much as anyone else in this group, but honestly I fear a ...

mikecagain comments on Aug 24, 2018:

Let's deal with them one at a time. Trump needs to go. I agree about Pence. Trump is like the bull in the china shop. Pence is controlled and calculating. Who is the bigger worry? The racist, misogynist who doesn't know what he's doing? Or the racist, misogynist who knows exactly what he's doing? So yea, Pence is a concern. But that isn't a reason to keep Trump. Hopefully flipping some seats in the mid terms will allow for a better check on the presidency.

Leave it to Michael Moore to put it in perspective

mikecagain comments on Aug 24, 2018:

As usual, Michael Moore nails it perfectly. I can definitely see the argument that Trump doesn't have the mental or emotional capacity to fully understand what he is doing. :)

Here's something that happened to me on a dating site.

mikecagain comments on Aug 24, 2018:

I think it's great that she bothered to send you a reply to explain that she wasn't interested. Most just don't reply. Why she clicked "Like" if she wasn't interested is odd. Maybe it was an accidental click? I have had people, who I thought I hit all the check boxes for what they said they were looking for, say they weren't interested in me. I always assume that's based on more superficial reasons. Which is fine. People are entitled to that. Despite all the questions and responses, all those sites are driven by the photos anyway.

Step 1: Convince people that the legitimate media are telling lies to attack your side. Step 2: Your propaganda sources can now be accepted as the true sources of correct news. Step 3: Any radical conspiracy propaganda BS that you throw out through your propaganda sites will now be accepeted as truth. The whole "you can't believe what the liberal media says about us" thing was one of the most brilliant ideas the conservatives have ever come up with. It has allowed them to control the narrative to their supporters for decades.

mikecagain comments on Aug 19, 2018:

Well, I think the definition of lonely is that you don't want to be alone. So I don't think you can be lonely if you really want to be left alone. Lol If you're happy, that's the key. If you're happy being an asshole, then good for you. :) I get it though. I enjoy my alone time, and have appreciated it more as I've gotten older. But it's nice to have the option of not talways being alone. I have my kids that fill up 50% of my time. The rest of my time I appreciate that I can do with it as I please. But I wouldn't mind having some other options.

I'm new here and pretty much a full-bore introvert.

mikecagain comments on Aug 19, 2018:

When my son was tested for Autism, the doctor said they don't test separately for Asperger's anymore. I think the point is they don't view it as separate from autism, and just treat it as a form of HFA. The autism definitely makes my son "introvereted" in the sense that he prefers to retreat into his mind and do his own thing, by himself. But it definitely doesn't make him shy. He has no fear about go up to people and saying what's on his mind. I assume that's because he isn't processing what others might be thinking of him. He just speaks what's on his mind. I could certainly see an introvert group containing a lot of people with some form of ASD.

mikecagain comments on Aug 19, 2018:

I always wondered if this song was meant to be pro or anti religion. I interpret it as an anti religion song. Kind of sarcastic, mocking the messages of the ministers. But I could see how it could be viewed as a pro religion message. Perhaps it's just random sound bites thrown on top of a beat with no real meaning.

How do you meet like minds when you live in a place that seems devoid of anything close?

mikecagain comments on Aug 19, 2018:

I believe that's why this web site is here. :) Waukesha county (where I live) is the most republican county in Wisconsin. It's rough. My family, friends, co-workers are mostly conservative christians. But, I think you find, in areas like this, there are more people who share your viewpoints than you realize. There are a lot of people who maybe bite their tongues to avoid senseless politcal arguments, but when you have the chance to talk one on one with people you start to find some like minds. I have found that the Internet has been very helpful with that. Dating sites, chats, message boards. Sort through the noise, pick out those with the like minds, and figure out the rest from there. And after typing all that, yes, I'm still single, and looking to meet some like minded people, so when you really figure it out, let me know. :)

I believe Trump is just using his position to further his Brand.

mikecagain comments on Aug 17, 2018:

Agreed. Unfortunately, Hillary was facing years of anti-Clinton Republican propoganda and BS that it left too many people feeling they couldn't vote for her at any cost. It's a shame, because she really was qualified. At the end of the day you have to realize, in a two party system, if you aren't voting for one party then you are supporting the other. Also, I think there are a lot of people that vote for party regardless of the candidate. I'm sure there were a lot of Republicans that pulled the trigger on Trump, ignoring the person and hoping the party ideals would win out. Unfortunately, with this guy, once he got in office the crazy really rose to the top.
