BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 5, 2018:

Physically, we are what we are. Surgery can alter that to some extent. But if a person wants to be different from everyone else, that's his/her/its choice. If a person wants to be called "other," I have no problem with that. If a person wants to make up a nonsense word for for his/her/its gender -- like Pidobedot -- I have no problem with that. Let people call themselves whatever they like. I don't have to understand it, but I would allow them the liberty to live their lives as they please (within the law of the land, of course).

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 5, 2018:

The universe will not become nothing when I die. The universe will continue to exist. I will become nothing. My body will continue to exist until it completely decomposes, but the real me -- my mind, my personality, etc. -- will become nothing but a memory in the minds of my survivors. The dumb thing is to accept a myth (such as a biblical afterlife) as reality. The smart thing is to accept reality as it is.

Do you think Trump has damaged the USA? How long will it take to repair the damage?

BestWithoutGods comments on Dec 1, 2018:

Trump is damaging not only the USA, but the entire planet. His denial of science on climate change may lead to the end of life on Earth. And, yes, he is damaging the USA in many other ways, too. But when we're all extinct, that will matter little.

Crooked Donald. Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up! I have no problem with citizens saying "Merry Christmas" or putting manger scenes in their front yards. They have every right to do so, as they please. I do have a problem with the government promoting Christ and displaying manger scenes. It is unconstitutional for the government to promote religion. Courthouses, for example, must remain neutral concerning religion.

BestWithoutGods comments on Nov 4, 2018:

I have a brother who is a rabid republican. I do not get angry with him. Rather, I pity him. He has had bad influences in his life, such as Fox News (a.k.a. Faux News). I have not rejected him, but he has rejected me because I dared to show him evidence that his claims are false. I still love him as my brother. I miss him. I pity him. But I am not angry at him, and I do not hate him. I hope that some day he will learn to think reasonably.

I have found many reasons to completely disregard Christianity.

BestWithoutGods comments on Nov 3, 2018:

Are you also agnostic when it comes to Santa Claus? Or the Tooth Fairy? Those who promote such beings have the burden of proving their existence. Until they do, we are perfectly reasonable in denying that they are real. Same with gods. Those who promote gods have not been able to provide any credible evidence that they exist. Therefore, I write them off as mythological beings. Until I see good evidence for the existence of gods, I am an atheist.

Alot of people hate me. i hate alot of people. seems fair to me then again i have a heart of stone

BestWithoutGods comments on Nov 3, 2018:

I suggest that you may be happier replacing hatred with love. Everybody is a mixture of good and bad. Look for the good in others. I sometimes hate what people DO, but not the people themselves. I chalk it up to ignorance or poor upbringing or bad influences. I pity the people, but do not hate them.

Cheese, I needed this today!

BestWithoutGods comments on Nov 2, 2018:

The oldest male shivers when he comes in cold weather, so I call him Chilly Cheese Dog. The Female is called Cheese Louise. The young male is Julius Cheeser. (I wanted to name the young one Cheeses Christ, but here in the Bible Belt, people got upset when I suggested it.)

Do you celebrate Christmas after realizing you don't believe in the reason for it?

BestWithoutGods comments on Nov 1, 2018:

I play along with Xmas. I just ignore the religious parts, and enjoy getting together with the family. It is interesting that "Christmas" existed before Christianity. It was a pagan holiday, later adopted and christianized as Christmas. (Myths of virgin births, resurrections, etc., also existed prior to Christianity. The New Testament is just one fairly recent phase in the long evolution of mythology.)

Is there anyone here that values the teachings of the bible, but rejects it's supernatural elements?

BestWithoutGods comments on Oct 30, 2018:

I do value the ethics in parts of the Bible. In some parts, though, the ethics are not good at all. I do not take any part of the Bible on blind faith. I study it, interpret it reasonably, and apply it to my life as I see fit. I am the judge of how I use the Bible to enrich my own life. Of course, the stories are mostly mythological. Like Aesop's Fables, the stories are not to be believed, but the morals of the stories can give us valuable insights.

BestWithoutGods comments on Oct 28, 2018:

A good place for agnostics and atheists, like those on this site, to meet local, like-minded people is the Unitarian Universalist "Church." I put "church" in quotes because it is unlike other churches. They have meetings that may superficially resemble religious services, but they do not teach that the Bible is to be taken literally, and they are very careful not to offend their agnostic and atheist members. They have no obligatory religious creed, and they do not insist that anything be taken on blind faith. They mostly teach ethical living, support for worthy causes, and how to be happy. I used to attend regularly when I lived in Idaho Falls, and I would still be attending the UU, but there is not a congregation in my small Tennessee town. The closest one is too far away for me to get there on a regular basis. But you can check out the website and see if there is one close to you. https://www.uua.org/
