I have never had a use for one, and I was trained in the military. I suppose if I ever need a gun I can simply take one from someone that has one. Lets hope this never becomes an issue that's that pressing.

@Paul4747 "Use" is exactly the point, and no such unspoken thought exists. If one wishes membership in a community, there will necessarily be infringements on freedoms for the larger benefit.

I see my PCP every 3 weeks so we know each other pretty well and I think he would want to know so I'm probably going to tell him.

That's an uphill battle! I have yet to find a therapist who's ok with my atheism. 😂

LovinLarge replies on Mar 9, 2021:

I must tell you a story then. About a year ago I ended my relationship with my long-term nonreligious therapist when I found that she was unreceptive to constructive criticism. I knew that finding someone similar would be tough so I put it off until a couple months ago. Finally I took a chance and Googled "therapist" and "atheist" and the city I live in. The Psychology Today website came up with a list of therapists in my city including one that said she serviced a nonreligious clientele. It said she was not accepting new clients at the time so I emailed her and said I would wait until she was available. She got right back to me and said she would squeeze me in. We've had four sessions by Zoom and she is a good, non-judgmental listener. So far, so good. I wish it would work for you, too.

@Bigwavedave Thanks for the sentiment. There are people who spend their lives and virtually all of their time alone. I know it sounds weird but for some of us, it was not a choice. I enjoy seeing couples and families having loving interactions but it was not my path. My brother was the same. My therapist says it is because our parents didn't teach us how to develop relationships. Anyway, it becomes the norm so it doesn't end up being a big deal. I am making the most of the time I have left and when it's over, my legacy will be the contributions I made to other peoples' lives not the number of loved ones I have.

Using disclosures from personal conversations to publicly ridicule whole groups of people without disclosure of intent is not data collection and is not ethical. I asked Admin if he had done so posing under another name or names and he didn't answer, which is an answer in and of itself. BTW this site is not free of religiosity, many proponents masquerading as agnostics pedaling the ridiculous equivalency of there being god or gods with there not being any. I have been disappointed to see some members leave but respect their personal autonomy to determine what is best for them regardless of how it impacts me.

Your point is made by the cons on this website who I go after at every opportunity for making factual claims without supporting evidence. Even those nonbelievers don't understand that evidence is the only way to distinguish fact from fiction.

@David1955 My point is that those of us on the ground doing anything we can to bring about the type of changes you've suggested are not assisted by armchair quarterbacks. Unless you have a way to help, criticism of US domestic policy is unwelcome, particularly as every country could use improvement of its own. Opinion on US foreign policy is fair game provided it is based on facts, but the OP of this post is a closet con that has been a Trump apologist for as long as I can remember. This post is merely a continuation of his right wing rhetoric that causes most of his posts to be ignored.

@CourtJester Let's see your nonexistent evidence that the exact text of the Constitution is considered "common knowledge" not requiring citation in academia. The more you type, the more obvious your lack of education becomes and your habit of resorting to blatant lies to support your ridiculous arguments is typically conservative. Citation goes to the credibility of the reference regardless of the forum, and this is another example of why you don't have any here.

Just look how hard it was for most of them to give an honest "no" to this question. I like when you stand your ground, I can tell that your opinions are borne of experience.

LovinLarge replies on Feb 19, 2021:

@Kojaksmom Nope, you saying stuff doesn't constitute evidence. Now in addition to your first two unproven factual claims, let's see your evidence that "a sense of awe, wonder and questions have been a part of the human animals (sic) experience throughout our entire evolutionary process". Surely you understand the significance of supporting your factual claims with evidence.

LovinLarge replies on Feb 13, 2021:

@SocialDarwin Much better, thank you. So you're saying that religion was the original cause of the mistreatment of those groups of people and I have no contrary evidence so that may well be true. Unfortunately it's no longer the sole cause and you there is much evidence of that like the white nationalist movement in the US today, so yes, racism in and of itself is a problem. Agree that people follow Abrahamic law out of fear and makes sense to me that Paganism helps some people find a purpose. Intrigued by nature worship but the belief in any gods is a non-starter for me.
