The Bible makes soooo much more sense when you stop trying to read it as a "unified message from God."

I realized that I was an atheist when I first started learning about mythology, did anyone else have...

MsOliver comments on Dec 29, 2017:

I don't think my study of Greek or Roman gods really affected my beliefs, but it did get me in boatloads of trouble with my mother when I accidentally referred to her god as a myth in front of her when I was in my early 20's.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 29, 2017:

That would have been funny!

How do I get over the grief of having a Joel Osteen block me on Twitter?

ASTRALMAX comments on Dec 27, 2017:

Wow! How fortunate, you have been saved! Saved from brainwashing.....

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 29, 2017:

Lmao!

God’s preferred team

resserts comments on Dec 29, 2017:

Mildly ridiculous, in my opinion. It's almost rhetorical, it seems, like it's just expected that anyone who wins something needs to give props to the big G-man. I think it's silly, but no more so than the people who say someone going through a tough time is in their prayers. It's largely meaningless...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 29, 2017:

What bugs me even more are the ones that thank God after a hard working scientists and doctor was really the one deserving of acknowledgment and support, and the God lovers will turn around and say,” God did it.” How dare those ungrateful little ingrates.

To anyone who thanks God for something as trivial as winning an athletic competition: what makes you more deserving than the starving kids in Africa and around the world?

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 29, 2017:

I could have not said it better myself.

are you afraid of death?

resserts comments on Dec 29, 2017:

I think it's understandable that anyone misses deceased loved ones and is saddened by such loss, but I don't think death itself is to be feared. I think of it as a dreamless sleep, with no consciousness to feel any loss or experience harm. The process of *dying* though is more worrying to me. I ...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 29, 2017:

That’s how I always thought of death. Death is just a dreamless time of being asleep.

If you were given the chance, would you want to be famous?

AccursedHalo comments on Dec 28, 2017:

If I got a shit ton of money, like millions every year. Though, if I was famous I feel like I wouldn't be able to be myself. I am a VERY opinionated person who acts on emotions rather than logical thinking most of the time and I am an ASSHOLE. So, if I were famous I'd either have to change or learn ...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

Yeah I think I’d probably have a break down, too. Plus people can be mean as hell, especially people who hate to see you do good.

If you were given the chance, would you want to be famous?

Vegasboy004 comments on Dec 28, 2017:

No I would not because you will lose your privacy and have nothing but fake people around you

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

Yep!

People believe in strange, but dangerous things. Here’s a link to kind of give you an idea about how Hollywood do. https://worldtruth.tv/blood-sacrifices-for-fame-and-money/

Sacha comments on Dec 28, 2017:

No, I can be too introverted to be famous, I don't like being looked at walking down the street, I love my privacy, I love my alone time. So I guess something like a famous author where I used a pen name and no one actually knew who I was, but I still became rich would be ideal. Except Im terrible ...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

Lol writing is one of my passions!

Funeralgirl comments on Dec 28, 2017:

Yes, if I was famous i would use fame to help animals.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

That’s the brighter side to look at fame.

The Bodyguard-remember how one sister turned on the other over fame and fortune? I thought I was going to be marrying a rock star. Album never got national release. LOL>

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

Lol oh yes! I remember!

atheist comments on Dec 28, 2017:

Where do our get your stories from? Not movie star fame but fame for a breakthrough in science.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

I don’t know about fame for a breakthrough in science. I’m talking about movie star fame, as I used to thought I wanted to be a movie star.

If you were given the chance, would you want to be famous?

Jack-of-scythes comments on Dec 28, 2017:

Fans love you and fear you. I left a place where I was feared. Even my name was something not mentioned. The illuminati stuff is absolute garbage.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

Yes, it is. I agree. But since there’s people that believe in it, to them, it is very real and that is why some may make these stupid sacrifices.

If you could visit any planet in the Universe, which one would it be? And why?

Druvius comments on Dec 28, 2017:

I'm with you, Mars it is. The only planet we know of where one can walk around without a cumbersome space suit. Just a pressure suit and an oxygen tank, and the low gravity would make the oxygen tank easy to lug around. And all the pictures from the surface look so stark and beautiful, it wuld bd ...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

Yes it would.

TheAkWay comments on Dec 28, 2017:

Absolutely Saturn! Most beautiful planet in my opinion. The rings are stellar! ????

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

Lol I used to say that Saturn was Jupiter’s wife. He likes her so much that he put a ring on it.

What do you think of the whole Illuminati concept nonsense?

Paul628 comments on Dec 28, 2017:

Contrived nonsense that CT's need to feel superior to the rest of us.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

And to think that celebrities sacrifice family members to stay known and riich lmfao! Freaking idiots!!!

Jesus was a Liberal

David1955 comments on Dec 28, 2017:

I agree with those who say that an actual historical Jesus never existed, although the subject is subject to research. Truth is, "Jesus" is a template into which cast their own mold (think I've that metaphor somewhere right!). I agree with the poster that the Jesus myth can be thought of a 'liberal'...

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 28, 2017:

Isn’t it strange how Christians try to shrug off the Old Testament?

Cdove comments on Dec 27, 2017:

Aren't the Ten Commandments in the Old testament? LOL

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 27, 2017:

Lol yep !

Isn’t it strange how Christians try to shrug off the Old Testament?

Veritae comments on Dec 27, 2017:

It's not surprising to me, actually. On the whole, Christians seem to embrace hypocrisy and harming others whether through doing nothing or through the intrusion of their 'faith' into the lives of others.

EmeraldJewel replies on Dec 27, 2017:

They act just like their God: petty.
