If your jealous because Deepak , T Robbins, W Dyer and even Dawkins. Dawkins said he is deeply Religious like Albert Einstein was. They are all  famous and made a great deal of money and helped millions. Buying a few books was not costly and very useful, and best money investment for personal and business. Don't believe in Supernatural yet plenty of natural Phenomena among the spirual unknowns, no pseudoscience required. There is far more opportunities combining Science and spiritual.

There no God in the book Taoism and many other kinds of Religion base on nature. The best written I've seen for polical purposes is the US Constitution also no God in it.

Castlepaloma replies on Dec 9, 2017:

Try ruling No Gods allowed. Atheist group knowledge of worldwide Religion is the greatest of any group. Don't disallow theist's, just by ignoring them, when their ideas are unreasonable. Will make theist's magical powers, float away. I'm a world-class strategist, it will work.

God is just a word. When a Christian says God is Love, you can ID that God as Yahweh. Being an artist for most waking hours of my life. I find metaphors allow for deeper and powerful meaning. You may call a heart a muscle- (concrete) I say, Iead with my heart, follow shortly with my mind. Most get it, and it"s like a beautiful painting. Everything you have ever achieved in your lifetime was all first imagined. Pictures came into your mind first, words came second. Religion lacks using their mind. Science without imagination is lame.

Castlepaloma replies on Dec 9, 2017:

Yes , one atheist site really gave me hell for addressing R Dawkins as over the top. I got plenty of hit over the head lessons. I might get some here, just softer, due to my ignorance about Agnostics. Somehow I ride in life in middle of the road and could get run over. Nonbelievers are the fastest growing group in the world because everything has a reason and evil would be the absence of reason. Lets not push away theist who make up most of our family members and the world. Like how feminists started, really hard at first and deserving so. Today, the men bashing and the tables turning are going the other way. I ask limits the theist's don't eliminate or isolation our love ones. US against Them seem too strong for an agnostic. Being against anything only becomes part of the problem. We the people, are all basically good. Why not those comfortably numbnuts?

Castlepaloma replies on Dec 9, 2017:

I like your idea, there could a limit to theist where there is reports of their troubles of trolling or bashing. They could be banned from site if too many reports. Too many numbers of one group outside of nonbelievers like theist's can get disrupting.

Is US Nationaism worst than Religion?

wordywalt comments on Dec 8, 2017:

Examples: the USSR, Israel, Iran, the British Empire, US foreign policy ...

Castlepaloma replies on Dec 8, 2017:

Religious nationalism is the relationship of nationalism to a particular religious belief, dogma, or affiliation. This relationship can be broken down into two aspects: the politicization of religion and the influence of religion on politics.[1] In the former aspect, a shared religion can be seen to contribute to a sense of national unity, a common bond among the citizens of the nation. Another political aspect of religion is the support of a national identity, similar to a shared ethnicity, language, or culture. The influence of religion on politics is more ideological, where current interpretations of religious ideas inspire political activism and action; for example, laws are passed to foster stricter religious adherence.[2] Ideologically-driven religious nationalism may not necessarily be targeted against other religions per se, but can be articulated in response to modernity and, in particular, secular nationalism. Indeed, religious nationalism may articulate itself as the binary of secular nationalism. Nation-states whose boundaries and borders are relatively recent or that have experienced colonialism may be more prone to religious nationalism, which may stand as a more authentic or "traditional" rendering of identity. Thus, there was a global rise of religious nationalism in the wake of the end of the cold war, but also as postcolonial politics (facing considerable developmental challenges, but also dealing with the reality of colonially-defined, and therefore somewhat artificial, borders) became challenged. In such a scenario, appealing to a national sense of Islamic identity, as in the cases of Pakistan and Indonesia, may serve to override regional tensions. The danger is that when the state derives political legitimacy from adherence to religious doctrines, this may leave an opening to overtly religious elements, institutions, and leaders, making the appeals to religion more 'authentic' by bringing more explicitly theological interpretations to political life. Thus, appeals to religion as a marker of ethnicity creates an opening for more strident and ideological interpretations of religious nationalism. Many ethnic and cultural nationalisms include religious aspects, but as a marker of group identity, rather than the intrinsic motivation for nationalist claims.

Please don't stop debating with Christians.

Satanism maybe fine people maybe more ethnical than monolithic Religion. Although they are two sides of the coin. Atheist are not made from the same mold. Atheist aim is in Science - to observe Religion aim is to fear for control & power. An artist aim is to please. US already has registered atheism as a Religion. That mean you get tax exempt when you gather an assembly. Artist need a tax break most, since we are the poorest of the poor. Artist started cultures and civilization long before Religion. Then Science came long long after thought. Great art is spiritual and has a branch of science to it. Why don't you guys get on your knees and kiss our boots for a change.

It would be impossible for humans to live in large communities without government. Government helps keep the peace within large societies. That beign said, government can be harmful or helpful depending on the agenda(s) of the people in charge. Many policies can be both good and bad at teh same...

I have visited many self substainable communities, even anarchist communities have impressed me more than any nations Governments. Been to over 100 countries, had to abandoned my 3 eco villages projects due to the Government telling me living off the corporate grid is illegal. Goverments in Canada own the rain water.They own you and even the waterways to your Mother birth canal, they own you from birth to death plus taxes.

Most people, ( 80?)don't like the Government. Goverments are mercenaries for the greedy and wealthiest. They threw us overboard 40 years age along with the natural environment.

I have been told I am crazy for thinking the people collectively can and must in the near future do a much better job than the Government. (Volunteerism , we do this with the Government anyways. I have only two rule be honest and do not harm. The US military, worldwide Corperations and Government broken those two rule more than anybody or group.

The deep state is more dangerous. The deep state controls almost everything after the JFK assasination, no matter who is the president. It is not like the deep state takes all the decision, rather it's like no one in the govt. can take a decision if the deep state don't want that.

In polls the Republicans have turned away from Trump most. Out of the polls that dropped by 20? for the President to be competent for the job.
