I would have used the promotional link found here https://agnostic.com/promote.php on Facebook, but the preview that Facebook showed me of it I think might have upset many of my friends. "Meet other Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists and other happy godless people - all for free!" Mainly, the use ...

Philosophy or Science or Both

CuriousCreature comments on Dec 6, 2017:

I have an everyday example for you. My friend and I like to get together, smoke some weed, and talk about all kinds of things. One night we hit on the idea of portable doors.

A 'possum breaks into a bar and gets drunk as a skunk.

AstralSmoke comments on Dec 3, 2017:

This is funny @AstralSmoke. It sounds like the perfect first line to a joke. This is a story out of the Chattanooga paper, so I have my doubts, but it's said to be a real story out of Florida. I haven't looked it up to verify yet, but those Floridians can be pretty redneck sometimes. Anyway, the ...

What is your favorite cake you bake?

MrLizard comments on Dec 3, 2017:

I made banana breads, today. But my favorite is my own adaptation. I make a mandarin orange cake , from scratch. Moist yellow cake with a naturally flavored orange butter cream decorated with mandarin orange slices.

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

It's the reptilian name!

Has anyone had a drop cake?

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

Yes, never made one though.

Do you eat at a kitchen table?

resserts comments on Dec 3, 2017:

At the table most of the time, occasionally in my bedroom in front of my computer — but I don't usually have anyone else I'm eating with, so it's not like there's a social reason to eat anywhere in particular.

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

Just be where you like to be by yourself.

AMGT comments on Dec 3, 2017:

I raised my kids eating at the dinner table most nights. We’d play “highs and lows” a game that calls for each of us to state the high and low point of our day.. That family time was the sweetest thing to me. I can’t sit there anymore, really.. that empty chair fucks me up every time. ...

I'd rather get small, thanks.

I have a wicked case of Chronic Curiosity

I don't even meet up with the people I already know IRL. But, knock on my door and I'll fix you a cup of tea.

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

I'll be there and bring a variety of mints. I'd like a highly recommended one, please.

I suppose it depends on how tall I'm trying to make the fence.

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

Do you know the joke about the engineers and the mathematicians? There were a couple of engineers and a couple of mathematicians trying to figure out how tall the flagpole was. They decided that they'd have to dig it up. Once they had it dug up and laying on the ground the mathematicians measured it. 21' long was their measurement. One engineer said to the other engineer, "Just like a mathematician to measure the wrong direction."

Do you dream out loud? Yikes!

Zster comments on Dec 3, 2017:

No, but I am plagued with near nightly hypnagogic hallucinations, most of which are terrifying, and many which get me out of bed to confirm that the household is safe (from fire or intruders).

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

I think that would paralyze me.

Varn comments on Dec 1, 2017:

Great question. It certainly reminds me of ‘the reason for the season/s’ :-) It triggers such a spectrum of change in nature that it’s easy to understand how earlier humans searched for various answers to such change. An admirer of Madalyn Murray O’hair, I’ll occasionally ponder her ...

@GareBear517 Good luck with that one!

Creativity: What is it?

goatgirl comments on Dec 2, 2017:

For me it is just an obsessive need to sort and arrange. Colors, shapes etc. I live with artful things for a while then when I get bored with them I rearrange them. I am the lone re-arranger! Kind of like a bower bird.

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

You grow mushrooms? That's something I'm planning on doing (loosely said). My daughter wants to start a worm farm, which can also use shredded paper and cardboard. How large are your assemblages? Are they weather resistant or strictly indoor pieces? And there are a lot of things that only happen for a very short time. One reason to carry my phone.

I don't understand. Why does it depend on who takes the lead? You've got my curiosity up.

Van Gogh or Picasso

VictoriaNotes comments on Dec 3, 2017:

Van Gogh. He had epilepsy and saw unique colors during his visions. In his earlier years, he was hyper-religious (due to his neurological disorder) and later transmutted that religious zealousness into creativity. He wrote: "If I could have worked without this accursed disease, what things I ...

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

Yes, many of us admire his tortured art, a product of his tortured life.

Van Gogh or Picasso

evidentialist comments on Dec 3, 2017:

I chose Picasso because I like my ears and I love ballerinas. I have a story about a Picasso I once owned. Wanna hear it?

@evidentialist Makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Van Gogh or Picasso

Hugene2002 comments on Dec 3, 2017:

Both were amazing artists, but Picasso became a money making machine in his own lifetime and his ego was massive. Van Gogh exemplifies the life of an artist so often you can see that emotion, pain and suffering in his work. So I voted Van Gogh.

AstralSmoke replies on Dec 3, 2017:

Yes, I knew someone would understand. Picasso, who was a genius in assembling, who couldn't/didn't show raw emotion, and made a lot of money. Van Gogh, a troubled 'soul' who could only adequately communicate through painting and his art captured him. He died pennilessly. I voted van Gogh as well. I like Picasso, but for different reasons.
