I was watching a TV show last night called the “Kominsky Method “. A character whose wife had just passed away and was asked by the rabbi, “what kind of Jew are you?” He replied, an atheist Jew.”
How about that for an oxymoron?
It described me almost perfectly, except I’m an agnostic Jew. LOL
I Adore this show...deep, funny, true, and great acting! Binge-watched on Netflix!
I’m a Baptist atheist myself. ???
Out here in Outback Australia we have " Bush Baptist Atheists" of which I am one.
A 'Bush Baptist Atheist' is one who has been ' baptized by the Dust, Heat, Flies and amazement that the wide open spaces of the Aussie Outback bestows upon them.
We loved and enjoy the freedom it gives, the room to expand oneself at will and that there are, when truly out in the bush, there are virtually NO churches for miles and miles around.
@Trajan61 Oh it is IF you can learn to handle the dust, heat and the bloody flies. 43 degrees Celsius here today, a hot northerly wind blowing in, no dust rising at present and no flies in my house as I use environmentally friendly fly-catchers known as Gecko lizards whom I encourage to live and breed in and around my house.
They have become quite friendly and almost tame these days.
