What books should all atheists read?

Diogenes comments on Jun 24, 2018:

I don't get your point. Religion is so foolish; why would any thinking person take the time to confront it? Have they nothing better to do with their time? It tells me where their so-called "intellect" is. I am an agnostic- I am interested in what this experience is about- but I will accept no quasi...

Diogenes replies on Nov 18, 2018:

@CoastRiderBill If you like taking your time up with foolish issues- GO FOR IT. Enjoy yourself. You must have made a mistake. My IQ is higher than the Donald's "156", but that ain't saying much; isn't everyone's? Thanks for your unintentional laugh.

Eldovis comments on Nov 18, 2018:

Inquisitiveness is what it got me kicked out of my church in Italy when I was 9 years old . That day actually changed my life.. It made me. gradually a born again atheist.

Diogenes replies on Nov 18, 2018:

@Eldovis Yes, I agree with you. Get them to get involved with reality- NOT a gaud-dictator and a book bulging with lies. But then there are the others who jus love their bull-shit.

Hey stop picking on "Trumpf"! He's an infant- and infants pout. Do you expect him to act like an adult?

Diogenes replies on Nov 18, 2018:

@LucyLoohoo There are some days that I think I have already lived too long. How have I made so many bad CHOICES in life? Doing 'something of value' is far more important than another 50 or 100 years to make some more fuck-ups. I am not in a bad mood- just a realistic one.

Diogenes replies on Nov 18, 2018:

@Eldovis That's why I am an agnostic, NOT an atheist. If I am going to take my time to argue about religion, I have too much time, so I am going to waste it! That is not smart. It would be like arguing about how high Trumpf's IQ is. He has no IQ; he has no brain.

Diogenes replies on Nov 18, 2018:

Yes, asking about something like "walking on water", which obviously even a 9-year-old would know can't happen, would get you kicked out. Now take the next step; forget about religion; it is too foolish and boring to be bothered with.

Diogenes replies on Nov 15, 2018:

I don't want anyone to accuse me of being a supporter of Hitler- but Hitler did get 'things', evil things, done at the first of his reign- Trump has never been able to do that at any time- going back decades. His most 'successful bankruptcy' is going to be the US Government.

Freedompath comments on Nov 13, 2018:

Trump retreated from his Presidential duties, the day he took the oath of that Office! He is a ‘fake,’ President...he is ‘playing,’ the part! It will soon either blow up in his face or ‘WE THE PEOPLE,’ will face a more serious delimma than has already been handed to us!

Diogenes comments on Oct 29, 2018:

Solipsism: As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist. That would seem to say, that his wife is a 'thing', that he owns, and that, being his third wife, will vanish, as soon as his tiny brain wills it.

Diogenes replies on Oct 30, 2018:

@Fernapple I have no interest in religion; not even to the point of dismissing it. It would be like dismissing the notion of Donald Duck wearing boots so his feet don't get wet when he is swimming. Just where does one even begin?

There's a few quotes I live by: Every man is my better in that I might learn from him.

Fernapple comments on Oct 30, 2018:

Yes I like that quote. It is very similar to, I think it came from Cicero. " There is no book however bad you can not learn something from it."

Diogenes replies on Oct 30, 2018:

@Fernapple Yes, certainly. If a person presents an optimistic, thoughtful persona as if they are expecting the same type of response, that is more likely to happen. But, there is the 'reality'- that does not always happen. Some problems are insurmountable- which creates another experience. "Another experience": I tend to think more clearly, when I have gone through my darkest periods.

Diogenes replies on Oct 30, 2018:

How about, 'book or person'? I had a 'relative' that if she had a thousand good things happen in a day, and one perceived as bad, she would repeat the "perceived" to tatters. Also,Trump is a championship moron. Everyone should learn NOT to be like these people. Leave friends with a smile on their faces, so they are expecting their next experience with you to be a good one too.

I just cannot wrap my head around how much of a douchebag this faux POTUS is.

Diogenes comments on Oct 28, 2018:

"Faux POTUS" is correct- he is living in his own little world, the one that he has created, a few nanoseconds ago. He is worn-out entertainment- but he is VERY dangerous, and he has all his trained (they didn't need much training) clapping baboons to enforce his momentary whims.

Diogenes replies on Oct 29, 2018:

@Condor5 Hitler did not have nuclear weapons. Possibly Hitler had enough brain power to know that to use such weapons meant his own death; the orange thing certainly will never be that bright. He has cancelled the US-Russian weapons agreement- he had a brain flutter, and that's what happened.

Trump blames “‘Bomb’ stuff” for distracting from his midterm message.

Freedompath comments on Oct 26, 2018:

The only message that trump is sending ..that needs to be destroyed, is his love of ‘jerking people around!’ IT is HE...who is leading this country down into the jaws of derangement!

Diogenes replies on Oct 26, 2018:

Yes, he is the biggest promoter of, that archaic, but encompassing word, "evil".

A reminder:

Freedompath comments on Oct 22, 2018:

I think that is not all they want to cut...our participation in the governmental process, is what would really delight the Republicans! They want everything geared up...toward their religious, short sighted image of America!

Diogenes replies on Oct 22, 2018:

"Religious", hmmmm! I have a friend that is a 'minister'; I would hardly call him a "preacher". He is no fan of Trump. We never talk about religion- and he doesn't attempt to 'recruit'. I don't know how he gets around it, but I don't know if he talks about the outright bull shit, like coming back from the dead. Except for the US, in the Western World fanatical religion is a topic for jokes.

Vote the fascists out before we can't vote anymore.

Diogenes replies on Oct 21, 2018:

@Freedompath But the point is, way back 50 years ago, "ain't got no math..." In essence, it was a song about having no education, and the teenage pride in not having any. It is all coming to roost. Some countries have potential students vying for a place in classes. In North America they are finding ways to remain unbelievably stupid, but the price will be paid.

@Umbral "Religious zealot"--- gotta love it; needed a good laugh this morning. So someone that is aware of reality...! Must consider the source. Quit smoking many years ago- 'gaud, must have talked to me'. A person, even with a tiny brain, must realize that everything that is animate will die; there is no choice. Why would even the village idiot choose to take the painful way of lung cancer? If a person ground up and dried banana peals, and smoked it long enough, it would cause lung damage. Did you figure it out? Lungs aren't meant for smoke. And Trudeau 2, who is his father? Maggie was balling the Rolling Stones while on drugs. Trudeau 1, pulled a Donald Trump; he didn't want to fight the Germans. Brave men and women fought and died to save his sorry ass, while he rode around Mount Royal on his motorcycle with a WW1 German helmet on his lump.

Diogenes replies on Oct 12, 2018:

@silverotter11 I haven't been checking the exact number of years. I believe that Mark Twain lost a lot of money in one in the late 1800s. Yesterday, reporting from Wednesday, on the front page of the Financial Post was a big red title, "Bleeding", about the 'all' markets being down; they were down again Thursday. Don't know what the papers said for the first shock on September 24, 1929. I imagine it was rather casual 'reporting'- because the reality was still not realized.

But it is again costing more to fix the problems that the Orange Thing has made. From what I have read, in 1929 Herbert Hoover inherited problems, that he had not had a great part in creating. He did not favour all the stock that was being bought on margin. Trump is doing a 'fantastic' job of creating misery that this world will not soon forget.

I do not have TV nor do I watch the news. Did he ACTUALLY wink at some point during the swearing in? I need to fact check.

Diogenes replies on Oct 10, 2018:

So you think that NOT watching the news will make it go away?

No decent men in the dump camp. This much we know.

This is so anti-religious....he better be careful or some believer will be comming for him.

Diogenes replies on Oct 10, 2018:

I have zero interest in religion- not even enough to waste my time disputing it. But those religious fanatics that do evil at every opportunity, may get a huge surprise if Nature has provided some form of reckoning, in the system they claim to believe in---- but so firmly do not.

Gotta be bad when the so-called 'weaker sex' are the only ones with, at least, the smallest amount of guts. Trump and his cabal of criminals are so far down in the outhouse, that even the skunks will come close to it. On to another topic! I watched a program on PBS last night, about the visible ...

I should learn to 'edit' what I write. "... so far down the outhouse, that even the skunks will NOT come close to it." Even skunks have some limitations.

Paul_Clamberer comments on Oct 8, 2018:

I wonder which would be worse: Exiting from old age or exiting from youthfulness?

Diogenes replies on Oct 10, 2018:

I don't think "age" has much to do with it. Yes, being robbed of life at an early age is a trauma- let's not dismiss that thought, but to be a hundred and being the slave to stupidity and greed is, in my opinion, a non-accomplishment. Would there be any difference if the person could live to be 200? Some have lived short lives and accomplished more than the magority of the population.

I think it was George Bernard Shaw who made the wry observation that “ youth was wasted on the young and wisdom is wasted on the old”....!

Good morning. Yes, for sure.

Senators are reading the FBI report on Kavanaugh — but they get only get a single copy to read, in...

If Kavanagh is made top judge, Trump has made a great forward step in enabling his dictatorship.

Diogenes replies on Oct 7, 2018:

@Condor5 To your comment,it's only one word, "YES". Until Trump is locked in the funny farm, he is not going to stop.

Diogenes comments on Oct 2, 2018:

There are mentally impoverished people who are permanently "happy" because they don't have the ability to understand the situation. This by no means, means that a person should 'love depression'- that also would be some weird mental disorder.

Diogenes replies on Oct 4, 2018:

@hardball "Contentment" may be my favorite word too- but it doesn't mean I, or many other people, are ever going to get it.

The FBI better not half ass this. [reuters.com]

They can't do a full investigation. Trump controls the game

Diogenes replies on Oct 4, 2018:

Yes, Trump controls the game. I've been in that situation- where the 'law-criminals' control the *ucking "game".

If it looks like they did, it's probably because they were knee-capped from the start.

Diogenes replies on Oct 3, 2018:

I believe the FBI have lots to work with- but they too need time to work with it.

@Marionville I have no intention of being 'so pure' that I can't stand myself, but "my tipple of choice" is not having too much. Ya, I twisted what you said. LOL Enjoy your day
