Beowulfsfriend comments on Aug 13, 2020:

My parents never went to church, although both learned xtion. I went to a Methodist church as a kid with my two sisters for a social thing. I was always asking the "wrong" questions, so, I think they were just as happy I left in 8th grade. I studied religions on my own. As an adult, I once asked my Mom why, since she was brought up Southern Baptist, she didn't have us do that. My Mom said, I quote, "I didn't want to inflict that upon you."

Will Trump seize the opportunity to innoculate Americans with the Russian developed C19 vaccine?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Aug 13, 2020:

He has said it must be an American vaccine - thus boxing himself in (no matter his love for Vlad). I expected that "an American vaccine " meant keeping our allies from delivering one to us, no matter how much more effective it might be. BTW: the Russians are not the first as the Chinese have started giving their soldiers one nearly a month ago.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Aug 11, 2020:

I've stated often why I am an agnostic. I do lean towards atheist because even seeing something after death may not be real. A trick of the brain, etc. No one can make me believe in ANY man made up gods and if a god were to show up, honestly, how could he/she/it prove being a god. Sure, there may be superior beings out there, but a god? I see no way to prove a god of everything. In the same respect, I can't disprove something I cannot see, feel, experience without death. And, then, there is the circle, I'm dead, but am I facing god?

Honest Question

Beowulfsfriend comments on Aug 9, 2020:

I suppose one has to pick a definition, as some do slightly vary. It is more likely that someone, like myself, leans agnostic because nothing can be proven. I'm sure there is no Abrahanic god or other multitudes of gods created by men. That said, how will I know when dead? I expect nothing, like an atheist. And, if something does turn up, how do I prove it is a god and not a trick of my dying mind; or some sort of odd, unknown manipulation. Quite simple, I don't believe a god could prove it is god. Sure, there may be beings superior than I am. But are they gods? I expect to never know. So, by my convoluted logic I can neither confirm nor deny and I see no way to ever prove anything. As I stated earlier, i expect nothing at death. Just a "certain convocation of worms."

I found out about it and told him he would have to, at least, write an apology. He did. He drew a dragon and then wrote, "I am sorry I called you a fucker." Being young, he honestly meant it. I explained how some people just do not like such words, so he changed it to "called you a bad name."
