Welcome.

I am a lifelong, unapologetic atheist in the final stage of my life. I have done and continue to do what I can to bring atheism out of the closet in the hope that the next generation of atheists will suffer less discrimination.

I oppose all things conservative, again unapologetic. People who fear that with which they are unfamiliar need to accept that we are all equally deserving regardless of who, what, where, when and how we were born. The issue is inclusion vs. exclusion and conservatives have always been and will always be on the wrong side of history.

LovinLarge comments on Nov 23, 2020:
Congratulations on a most deceptive post! Referencing government tyranny without specifying what current government action or inaction you are referring to (i.e. masking v. the attempt to topple democracy) allows you to appear to appeal to both sides. Have you ever considered just being honest and seeing if that works?
As usual, I am very proud of myself.
LovinLarge comments on Nov 22, 2020:
Many thanks to the vast majority of you for your support. Even just a "like" meant a lot to me. Please know that I am here to support you in the events of your life, also. Please never be afraid to ask. I sincerely believe that we are all in this together.

LovinLarge comments on Nov 21, 2020:
I did not know who he was, but he was very accomplished I found out. But I don't think religion makes us ask hard questions about ourselves or anything else, hence the reliance on faith.

LovinLarge comments on Nov 19, 2020:
Let's take it one step further this time. If we accept that conservatism is based on fear, which translates into hate and results in selfishness, and that here in the richest country in the history of the world wealth disparity has reached obscene levels with still no limitations embraced by conservatives, is it not reasonable to hypothesize that scumbaggery is inherent to conservatism itself?

LovinLarge comments on Nov 19, 2020:

What would you do if you had evidence of Biden voter fraud?
LovinLarge comments on Nov 19, 2020:
I would submit it to the proper authority. Cheating to win is not a legitimate win. Only one side in this attempt to overthrow American democracy is willing to cheat to win (see comment below).

Do you think correcting other people’s grammar is rude?
LovinLarge comments on Nov 18, 2020:
Hello dear, it's very nice to "see" you again. I think the guiding principle ought to be whether the offender will be receptive to the correction. Are you trying to help or hurt the person? Except, of course, in the case of illiterate Trumpers in which case it is ALWAYS appropriate to correct them about grammar and everything else! Thanks for asking, you always come up with the best questions. Don't be a stranger.

Have the elders or whatever form of government exists there taken any steps to help the people protect themselves or any subsequent control measures?

I have a dear friend I've known for years.
LovinLarge comments on Nov 16, 2020:
The difference between the beginnings of the universe being incomprehensible and the beginning of god being incomprehensible is that there is credible evidence for the existence of the universe. Anyway, that's how indoctrinated she is, that she never even considered where God came from before. Some of the finest people I've ever known have been devout Christians but it saddens me that they fell for the greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon humankind.

Whenever I feel the need to exercise, I lie down until it goes away.
LovinLarge comments on Nov 12, 2020:
I'm not sure if I knew when I was young that how I treated my body then would determine how it functions now. I probably knew and just didn't take it seriously. I sure wish I had because I am paying big time now. I exercise a little bit every day and it helps a little but the fact is that I will die decades earlier than I would have if I'd looked after myself. And it's going to be painful. I've come to terms with it, I just wish I could help someone else avoid it but it's not really the kind of thing you can teach.

If so, the only people with a reason to oppose such a change are those disseminating false infornation. If not, your description of the website will be disingenuous.
Has anyone ever bought an extended car warranty from the robot caller?
LovinLarge comments on Nov 11, 2020:
Such an obvious scam. They've been harassing me for years. I've tried everything. I am on the state and national do not call lists. I have told them that under no circumstances would I purchase from them. Recently I started telling them that I don't have a car. They use fake telephone numbers on the caller ID so that uou can't call them back and they say they're going to remove me from their calling list but never do. Unless you have any other ideas, my current plan is just to waste as much of their time as I can, although they usually just hang up when they realize I'm onto them. It's hard to imagine anyone falling for their scam but people must or presumably they would stop trying.

LovinLarge comments on Nov 10, 2020:
Because for us to retain the right to determine our own views, we have to afford others the same. That doesn't keep us from challenging them and educating them on the facts. Even though historically that has proven risky, it seems to be the best way to bring change. That change is occurring, likely in direct proportion to how active the atheist movement is.

LovinLarge comments on Oct 31, 2020:
That was worth the watch, but everything is deniable until it's proven. She doesn't seem to understand that change occurs incrementally. SCOTUS and the Constitution won't be abolished next month, but there are many things that can realistically be changed for the better incrementally. The problem generally with these types of critiques is that they point out problems but not solutions. For instance, there has to be a final arbiter of federal lawsuits. She denounced SCOTUS but offered no alternative. Equating the Democrats with the Republicans is a false equivalency. The Democrats have been more progressive than the Republicans for decades and it is particularly so today. We know that one of two men is going to be our next president and the difference between the two despite them both being old, white men is glaring. Give Biden a Democratic Congress and that is how we will get things done.
