Because this is what we're currently having, and nobody does this better than Billie Holliday-Stormy...
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 23, 2018:
I’m going to have to agree... I love lots of versions but this is about the best.
How many youtubers do we have here?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 23, 2018:
I have lots of vids up... I’ve posted a few on this site. They are not atheist related or religious, just music and guitar stuff.
So what’s the point?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 23, 2018:
I had a dear friend die a few days ago, made me ponder some of the same. I’m not thinking my clearest at the moment but I’ll take a crack at this. 18 months ago on Election Day my Dad died, now my friend Bob and the older I get the more that’s going to happen. My dad had 2 kids, I have 3, my sister has two, not the end of the line... in Jerasic park the “line”, “nature finds a way” makes sense, we are an unbroken line of evolving genetics going back to the first spark of life on the planet, our consciousness, our being sentient is just how nature has found a way with us. We will disappear but we will go on! My friend Bob had no kids, his dad had two, maybe the line will go on, maybe not... all the twisting of time and history and his line stops here... The Why, the purpose is just to continue... we want it to be grander and have a purpose behond just survival but I don’t think it exists... religion is a tempting way to create a comforting answer when none exists. You can’t make yourself believe so it’s not like I can decide to be religious and get a more satisfying answer. Solis and comfort comes from knowing you are leaving the world a little better for those that will have the same questions... but if no answer exists was there ever really a question? I choose to be here for the purpose of helping my kids have full meaningful lives, that’s it’s own reward... I have lots of stuff, pictures, trinkets... a museum that represents where we came from but tells us nothing of where we are going. We are here, we are here and it’s a lucky accident. Perhaps the best answer anyone has ever come up with is 42. The best thing we can do is be a social animal, make conectiona, be happy... if life is a dead end street then we best party in it. It is sad that party goes on without us but not as sad as staying home or leaving too soon. I doubt this long winded post answers you question, we should spend more time enjoying life and less time questioning it.
Burnt Bread
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 23, 2018:
Our toaster is way close to the smoke alarm. I fan it with a paper plate at least twice a week.
What’s the longest you’ll allow dirty dishes to be in the sink?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 23, 2018:
I do them after dinner, if while cooking I can already sense my disdain for doing them I’ll break out the paper plates, unless I’m making soup, I hate how soup runs off the edges of a paper plate.
Goodbye cruel world...

Do you like food after it’s been put in the microwave from being in the refrigerator?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 23, 2018:
Depends on the food, leftover rice works great, add a touch of water and cover with a wet paper towel and it’s better than the first run. If you actually learn what foods work and what doesn’t it’s a useful tool... I’d rather eat pizza cold.

Is there a god?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 23, 2018:
Why is it unanswerable? A man made construct void of rational thought and contradicting science. I don’t consider that unanswerable, that’s the answer. If I decide that I have an invisible friend just because I say so you can’t prove I don’t, but you know I don’t because it’s ridiculous. Now for a lovely day of visiting chicken farmers in Puru via out of body experience.
So you join a dating site and you need a user name that represents who you feel you are.

Atheist principles - would atheists be interested in listing basic atheist principles?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 22, 2018:
I don’t need help to figure out right from wrong. One of the arguments against religion is that we don’t need religion to be moral. Treat people as you would like to be treated and don’t be a dick. That’s short enough to put on a bumper sticker. However, if you can give good arguments for such a book I’ll keep an open mind.

Are you out?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 22, 2018:
It’s amazing that not being delusional is something that you would have to come out about when really you should be afraid to tell people you’re religious.
All in the pronunciation.

When it comes to nationalism, I say fuck all flags and anthems, we should be free and united as ...
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 22, 2018:
When you concider all the flags of the world and realize each flag says for those people or governments this is ours, we are better than you, we took it through blood shed and we will defend it, we don’t seem like such an advanced civilization. Being able to blow things up better does not equal more civilized!
I think one of the worst tenets of religion is unquestioned belief.
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 22, 2018:
Didn’t have a belief to give up but I’m somewhat better at being my true self, so what I gave up was pretending for the indoctrinated. A few small exceptions that if I did not allow it would be justifiable to call me an asshole.
At what age did you find your calling / success / attain your life long goals?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 22, 2018:
I’m here now and everything is fine, I don’t look at or expoerence life in those terms, I take care of my family, I work, I play music... sometimes I laugh sometimes I cry, too busy being human to waist my life reaching for what in the end will be meaningless and would have spread myself to thin for the people I love. Be happy now with what you have, life is very short, as I’ve been harshly reminded by reality this week.
When I was much younger, I took a girl on a date to the movies.

Good Morning, it is interesting, as in "may you live in interesting times," living in the bible belt...
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 22, 2018:
For most of my life when asked what religion I was I would routinely answer, “delicatessen”. Now that I’m vegan I guess I need a new religion:) I’ll perhaos change my answer to “framers market”. Nobody has yet assumed my answer meant Satin, at least not to my face.

ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
Thanks, you can explain that your atheist if your asked why you didn’t say, “bless you” when they sneezed.
Does it bother anybody when you see someone clicking, like, on all posts & comments?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
I will at times click them all, I read each one and consider my click their reward for contributing, long as they have done it without pissing me off they get a like... as far as points go, remember the post you like is getting points as well, never has upset me to get more people acknowledge my post, like a nod that we have that in-common, it’s how we build a community.
Retreating from The Now
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
You are right that when the world seems crazy and you have a full plate it can make meditation harder. Focus just on the physical now, your breath or the tip of your nose and if for one second you can do it that’s all there is, do it again... no judgment, it is what it is and nothing more.
Are there any spiritual atheists out there?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
I think we have mental abilities not yet fully understood by science and we have mislabeled it for lack of s better term. So I’m spiritual in that I seek these connections and attempt to explore what science has only begining to understand... but I don’t believe in a spirit that can be described as an intelligence outside of our own minds. It’s more of an awareness that comes from allowing the rest of the mind to be silent.
Sounds about right
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
We have been in constitional crisis since the day he was elected, Clinton went down for a blowjob, we have no leadership! If we don’t take the country back by November we might as well learn to speak Russian.

If you’re from a Jewish background, tell how you Bat/Bar Mitzvah was.
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
Jewish guilt remains long after the religion has left. But you said “had”, so you got past it... by the way Jewish guilt is no different than Catholic guilt or any other kind... let it go, see it as a cloud passing your vision and let it pass, as soon as you try and push it away it’s got you☯️
Am I the only atheist that doesn’t smoke pot?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
I believe it’s pervasive in every segment of the population because it should be legal, it’s all about money, it will be legal when and only when the government is profiting off it. You here about people drinking and becoming violent all the time, the only thing in danger after you smoke pot is a box of cookies.
Hahahahaha!

Is all religious belief based on the mystical?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
Yup, the entire premise is a man made lie! At its best an illusion and at worst a reason to kill because of that illusion.
Should Religion Be Taught in Schools?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 21, 2018:
Not as a truth or way of life/death ... as part of sociology as it relates to history and what religion has done for art, music and architecture while being certain not to leave out the death & suffering.

I use it for the severe nausea associated with debilitating migraine headaches and playing guitar. I’m all for medicinal use and don’t see recreational as any different than a drink, in fact drinking is more harmful.

It’s usually if someone posted something interesting or made an excellent retort, I want to put a face with the intellect responsible. So if I check you out I was somehow either educated or entertained.

Describe your real self, warts and all.
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 20, 2018:
I’m in pursuit of inner peace, I’m perceived as calm and relaxed but I have inner turmoil.. I don’t see it as a problem since I’ve come to realize that’s most of us.. I have not done enough meditation lately and feeling the difference so I will start again... nothing is wrong but I have a very full plate, I take care of everyone except myself until if I don’t I won’t be able to take care of others. I don’t meditate because I’m enlightened or have the world figured out, I do it because I just want to handle everything comming at me with a calm presence and not feel overwhelmed, sometimes I can and sometimes I drink way to much coffee and I can’t real my day back in. I’m honest, I’ve had the same customers for many years because I say it like it is even if that means no sale today, I try and teach good ethics to my kids and I’m deeply disturbed by current politics and run a bunch of twitter pages to encourage voting and do my part to get the country back. I write to congressman, make calls and protest any legal way I can, it gives me more reason to meditate. I’m vegan because I have a severe migraine problem and being vegan helps, I’m an outspoken atheist when I’m not at work but I do it with kindness. I’m a musician and I don’t know how anything in my life would be possible if I didn’t play at least a little everyday. I was not a natural musician, as a kid from age 4 to 7 it was the 5th teacher that got me past jingle bells... I will always be grateful for what I have. It might not look like much but it is:) great kids, a job, roof and food.

ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 19, 2018:
You had to be creative to make this post ”creative” is a verb, it has nothing to do with the opinions or weather or not someone thinks it’s worthy of adulation. “How” deciding to organize your thoughts to pose your assertion, “when” was of your choosing, “where” was here, “who” was you, “what” was this post and “why” remains a question.

ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 18, 2018:
Since usually I’m at work I say nothing but I’m screaming on the inside. They haven’t come to the door here but should that happen I think I’ll call on that recent meme that’s been going around that said, “Adam and Eve had 3 sons, let that sink in, take all the time you need”, can I get you some ice water?

When you are involved with someone, what is your comfort level with how often you see them?
ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 18, 2018:
I need time on my own to work on music and guitar building projects but my favorite relationships are the ones that make me happy to put that aside to spend time together, when there is nothing else either person would rather be doing is when I’m happiest. Be it in a canoe or a kitchen if I want for nothing more life is perfect, I’ve had that a few times, the best of them ended in logistical and geographical problems that neither of us could resolve so all that remains is the love.

ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 18, 2018:
Hmmm, I feel like that’s a racist meme unintentional as that may be... I know I have lots of built in advantages simply due to my skin color, I don’t like that and I’m not proud of it... areas I sometimes feel discriminated against are atheism and veganism... on veganism I get gay jokes (not funny and I have a gay daughter) and people beating their chest and yelling bacon ...or a version of that, on atheism god forbid you question someone’s religion... but being a white guy has not been a burden, it’s Embarrassing if anything because I don’t ever want to diminish the rights of another human being.

ArdentAtheist comments on Apr 17, 2018:
Good, I like when people have had enough and do something, hopefully you are being active outside of this microcosm as well... I have several activist related twitter pages and find that to be an effective tool for drumming up support and spreading a message. I’m more focused on politics and feel a change in leadership will put people in place to address related issues such as gun control and police shootings but all fronts need representation, kudos
