Actually, I decided on November 10th to stop being so restrained in dealing with Christians. They are insufferable, annoying and judgemental. I am actively trying to avoid dealing with them. They espouse the stupidest crap as a matter of fact and think people who don't believe that garbage are nuts. As a long-term atheist, I don't go about arguing my belief but I have to listen to these dimwits preach their dogma. Fact is, most Christians haven't even read their book and talk out of their asses.

My only point is, we're focused too MUCH on the negative, not that the bashing isn't justified. It most certainly is. Nothing else is possible until we deal with it. IF we can deal with it.
I mean, we're on the brink of final, conclusive defeat. Or close to it. The focus should be on it. But we already know how bad the problem is. So why keep preaching to the choir about it, and why not instead concentrate on what we're going to do about it?
Or can nothing BE done? If that's true, we might as well talk about what life will be like in a theocratic plutocracy.

When they stop attacking I'll stop resisting.

I will never pause from bashing christians until there are no more christians....

I have things l am grateful for such as good health and the ability to still play music and make money doing it. I don't have a minute of time to waste on Christians. They are the main reason we can't advance as a society and a nation. Fuck'em and not in a fun way.

It's possible. But ask yourself how long, or even if, the other side will pause for any length of time?

Let us be thankful for learning the profound truths that have been discovered, and look forward to the day when more people will give up their dishonesty. And to hope that our species survives, somehow.

Thats just human nature to help and harm each other. I oppose organized religion and think all holy building should be shut down. I all so think that all holy text should be burned and stop from being printed.

Everything in life is positive with a good dog, a a good beer, and Trump’s policies in your heart.

You do you.

Some folks are working thru separating from the religious. They can do it safely here without facing the condemnation of their religioso families, friends etc. I always loved Thanksgiving as I think gratitude is a positive attitude. But the holiday has taken on new meaning as our First Americans suffered immensely as a result & still do. I am grateful for so much but do not observe this holiday as it has deformed into another excuse for gluttony, greed, commercialism & family trauma. For those who are less cynical than I, enjoy. I will not. Just as with Columbus day which was FDR's appeal to the Italian vote. We need some holiday revisions. Honoring the Prince of Peace on the 25th has become "recipe WARS" ( wars! Really?) or competitive brain bashing sports events. Watch CTE as it happens. Humans must find a manner in which to resolve their differences without storming the Capitol & smearing feces on the doors of those they disagree with. That was the idea of the Founding Fathers who were not perfect, could not see into the 21st century, but were trying to form a more perfect union by which to baby sit ourselves. Good tidings to all & peace be with us.

Answers to your questions; no, no, no, yes, maybe, yes, yes.

Yes, we are damned to be at each others throats. I find that there is a good bit of violent thinking at this website.

I laugh a lot at what I see here. I don't find it hate filled at all and hate for religions is a good thing, bad things should be hated and this site has a lot to do with religion.

Most of the positive stuff on the site is in the groups, it is true, the front page tends to be news and views, which are rarely positive.

But today was a bright winters day and I had friends over for a game of petangue, then we had mince pies and wine afterwards. That was positive, but sadly that is where I go for most of my positive, social media is not a good place to look for it at all, but I would say the this site is far better than most.
