First remember that you are dealing with undeveloped minds who still have that mind-set. Just a part of the typical indoctrination (Muslims do the same thing, but that's a discussion for another time). My father is a minister and I remember believing in that way. I just always thought of it as the god figure being number one, and the god could pass his powers to his son, and he could also just send his spirit out into the universe kind of like a drone with a camera sending a picture back to your phone. But the god figure would always be in control. (how did I ever believe that shit?)😵😲😱

We're Facing a Global Movement of White Hate

Stilltrying1964 comments on Mar 17, 2019:

When I got divorced, the judge told all the men on one side of the courtroom and the women on the other to love your kids more than you hate that person over there. We should apply the same standard to all of our fellow earth travelers. Love one another and respect each other like you do your own kids or parents. All these religious types go sit in a pew each week (or kneel on a rug facing east) and don't apply a damn thing they just heard. A hundred years from now maybe religion will be banned worldwide. And so will assault rifles (because there will be no need). I think racism is completely a result of fear and ignorance. So what were the white idiots in Charlotte (or elsewhere) afraid of? The same thing happening to them that our forefathers did to the native Americans. Of course their fears are unfounded, so what does society need to do to end so many people living in fear? Love each other. Help each other. Go high when they go low. Like Michelle!

Fire has always been a tool of intimidation used by the Klan and other white supremacist organizations. Sure, none of that activity is supposed to intimidate you (sarcasm).

Stilltrying1964 comments on Nov 28, 2018:

I have seen 2 completely different UFO's, and thus, I fully believe there is life outside of this one planet around one star in a universe with untold billions of stars. We have gone from no flight to flight to rovers on Mars and Voyager leaving left the solar system in about 100 years. If a similar carbon-based life form (or perhaps not carbon-based) started 1M years before us, sure they would have made it here by now. I believe I saw them when they drove by! Or maybe what I saw were means of observation only. The ancient carvings show what appears to be a guy in a little space ship. I doubt they imagined the vessel, but instead merely carved what was witnessed. It is possible extraterrestrials visited before we were even able to respond in a meaningful way. I was just discussing string theory and multiverses and wormholes with my father recently. I believe we will solve these mysteries within the next few decades, and I believe we will find that the solutions lie in their simplicity. When some person finally figures it all out, I'll bet we will all wonder "why didn't I think of that?" Some extraterrestrial has already figured it out.

At 21, I moved to Atlanta, where I worked at the Ritz-Carlton. The Palace was 4 stars, but the Ritz was 5. They served Royal Kona Cup coffee, which I believe was Hawaiian. This coffee smelled AMAZING when it brewed. It made the entire Room Service prep area smell wonderful. So I tried it and I've been hooked ever since. To top that off, the kitchen would prepare fresh pain au chocolat every morning. Quite the culinary delight! Now I'm hungry!

Stilltrying1964 comments on Oct 30, 2018:

However, I was in the chorus department, and I was very popular there. There were a couple of my friends in the chorus department who were also in the "in crowd". If I had played football, I would have also been in the in crowd. But now I would probably have CTE! I was bullied by the football players so I'm glad that society has now developed the anti-bullying campaign

Stilltrying1964 comments on Oct 28, 2018:

No, I don't think so. I don't think people of faith have the ability to think outside the box enough to be jealous. I think they are mad at us because they think we are being disrespectful to their god. Ironically, a lot of Christians and Muslims don't follow the teachings of their masters. If they did, the world would be a much more peaceful place (you know, except for the stoning and throwing homosexuals off of high places).I think people who believe in a god take the stance that atheists are godless heathen animals. I think they take a stance of superiority to us, as if they are the chosen people. I think they actually enjoy the thought that, according to their belief system, we will all burn in hell, while they enjoy eternity with their god in a fictional place called heaven.

Very interesting question! I curse a lot! I was in the army, I was a paint contractor, and I went through engineering school! The girls who were in engineering school with me dropped f-bombs like nobody's business! I have heard that now studies show people who curse a lot are of a higher intellect, whereas the old method of thinking was that if you cursed a lot it's because you were of limited intellect because you couldn't think of anything better to say. But now they have reversed that train of thought.

Was the Apollo 11 Moonlanding Faked?

No. Of course not. That is one of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories that has ever been thought up. If I were a NASA engineer, I would take great offense to that line of thinking.

Well put!

So this hurricane brings this question to mind.

Cash. Or go help. Interesting post. I was just watching TV the other morning and they were talking about the limousine that crashed and killed 20 people. The news anchor said we send them our thoughts and prayers. I just thought to myself how useless that is. It's not going to help those people at all. The people who have lost loved ones are right now in the state of shock and don't even know which way is up.

Is anyone else scared to death to start over?

Not scared. Just wish the right person would come along so I can stop this dance. It was fun in the twenties thirties and forties it's not fun now.

I have never understood Christianity in the Black community.

It is my understanding the old song Kumbaya was actually supposed to be saying "come by here", which obviously did not happen. I have always found it interesting that the African American community took so strongly to the Christianity that was thrust upon them. Then after scores of decades have passed people just don't know anything else.

How annoyed do you get when a religious person give all credit to god, despite it was you that may ...

Stilltrying1964 comments on Oct 9, 2018:

I often tell people, esp. Christians, that it makes no sense to give a god all of the credit for everything good, but none of the blame for any of the bad. If "god" created everything, then everything includes the bad. So why didn't he or she just destroy anything bad as soon as it appeared? And as god, why let it exist in the first place? Why doesn't he or she come down here now and fix this place? Uh, an entity that doesn't exist can't fix anything. Its soooooo convenient to have a devil to blame. So, they want us to believe the same god that created the sun (which is just an amazing thing most people know little about) had the ability to do such a magnificent thing but lacks the ability to stomp out evil? C'mon! Think, monkey, think!

Why do you think the religious right are so intent on forcing their agendas on others???

Stilltrying1964 comments on Oct 8, 2018:

They are compelled to do so. The indoctrination includes making you believe "go make disciples of all men!" I used to do that. Almost lost my best friend coz he didn't want to hear it. Now, neither do I. Christians are afraid of their god, which is stupid, and they believe if they don't try to get you to think, act and live like them, their god will be mad at them. Lake of fire and brimstone! Sounds hot, and fictional. I mean, there are lava lakes on earth, so when they were coming up with the tenets of their religion, somebody probably saw one and then imagined "hell" would be similar. Dragons probably resulted from someone finding a t-rex skull and didn't know what they found was millions of years old.

Im curious to know how many people believe that after the age of 60-65 or even older that they are ...

Stilltrying1964 comments on Oct 7, 2018:

Of course it's possible, but I just hope it doesn't happen to me! I'm 54 and looking. I sure hope I don't spend 12 years looking. Or meet somebody now break up in five years and then have to look again.

Do you attract a certain type of the opposite sex? Do you have a preferred type?

Stilltrying1964 comments on Oct 7, 2018:

Yes, apparently I do. And not the good ones! I have dated all types of people. Educated, blue collar worker, you name it. If there is some major baggage to be had, I will find the woman with that baggage. And she will ultimately break my heart or steal all my jewelry. That's the problem I find myself with right now. I just can't find somebody who won't lie to me and screw me over and break my heart.

Sounds like the guy who died was just a friend and not a romantic interest. So I wouldn't worry about that. The death left an indelible mark on her as opposed to just the normal day-to-day things of remembering dates. That date must really stick out because of the pain associated with her friend dying. Maybe next year remind her before your birthday and anniversary. Then if she forgets you can be concerned.

How are you using Agnostic.com?

I'm just so happy to finally be in a place where so many other people feel the same way I do it's so new to me that I'm finding myself staying on this thing till 3 in the morning and I have to go to work the next morning but it's fascinating to read all of this different things people post

On dating sites, everyone says they like long walks on the beach.

That is very funny! Believe me I've been here all my life. There are people taking long walks on the beach. I like to do it myself as often as possible.

The 7 Godly Sins

Stilltrying1964 comments on Aug 12, 2018:

That's a very interesting perspective. It reminds me of an idea that I have had for a long time which is how does God get all of the credit for everything that's good but none of the blame for anything that's bad? People of faith attribute everything that's bad to Satan but if God created everything then he also created the evil that would be associated with Satan so why doesn't he just destroy that evil so we don't have to deal with that in the world? I'm going to go with it's because he doesn't exist.

The Burka, should there be criticism of this headwear?

Stilltrying1964 comments on Aug 12, 2018:

In my opinion, in the USA, it is a Muslim woman's right, as well as a potential requirement, to wear those garments. While they have the right, they should be aware that some people who they encounter may be made uncomfortable by it. A few thoughts come to mind. Like, isn't that really hot? Why don't the men wear something that also covers their entire body? It can be said that requiring only women to wear such ridiculous garb is a form of oppression. Not cool in the USA. So welcome to the greatest country in the world but we are free here. You dig? Assimilation? Got some? Driver's licenses? If you want one, that thing's gotta come off. We have to see your face on the ID. You can put it back on right after they click. I'm all about tolerance and acceptance but you know we have a certain standard of conduct that you have to adhere to. Or at least you should be trying to adhere to.

Thoughts on why so many single men mention their porn habits on dating sites and/or this one?

Stilltrying1964 comments on Aug 12, 2018:

I'm pretty sure I didn't mention it on my site and I can understand why you find it a turn off that's something private you know between consenting adults but not to be broadcast and discussed really not in this forum.

How do you deal with Door-knockers?

Stilltrying1964 comments on Aug 11, 2018:

I will talk your ear off. I will tell you my entire life history. I will give you every reason that I do not any longer believe in a god. I give everybody who is still a Believer every opportunity to try to convince me that there is a god but I have to have evidence and that's why I'm agnostic and not a true atheist. Usually they will just get tired of talking and leave. I really enjoy those conversations. I haven't had one for 6 months. Maybe I'm on a list of "Do not visit this guy's house anymore!"
