The presidency and the Senate: Trump and McConnell.

Of course, if one is a Trump supporter, this is total nonsense, just fake news and liberal propaganda.

jlynn37 comments on Apr 19, 2019:

We did not go forth and multiply, gain dominion over the animals and nature and have ended up where we are today because of what is written Genesis but because we are humans and doing what humans do naturally and normally and it would have ended up the same regardless of the past history.

Is there any way that religion can be proved to be man made?

jlynn37 comments on Apr 18, 2019:

The fact that there is, nor ever has been, any evidence, facts or data to support the claim of the existence of any god(s), is proof enough that god(s) is a product of man's imagination.

White Privilege Is it real? Please answer honestly.

jlynn37 comments on Apr 17, 2019:

Straight, white, christian, males are definitely the privileged class.

Which has a higher probability?

I won't do either.

11-Year-Old Astrophysics Genius ‘Proves’ Stephen Hawking Wrong About God

jlynn37 comments on Apr 9, 2019:

All theists maintain that they "prove" A-theists wrong, but it is always the same old argument without evidence, facts or data generally falling back on some biblical based claims.

Men are afraid women will laugh at them.

The never ending violence and man's inhumanity to man perpetrated by religious Fundamentalists, zealots and extremists. One could also add politics to that in my opinion.

Michele Bachmann has made it clear she thinks it's the end of time, Jesus will come back soon.

jlynn37 comments on Apr 5, 2019:

Anyone who believes that jebus is coming and the world will end soon should not be allowed nor permitted to make any decisions for the future of 'merca or for the world.

Someone said that even if you don't believe in God, it is advisable to live your life as if there is...

jlynn37 comments on Apr 5, 2019:

Complete BS.

Is anyone else bored to death with the entire atheist theist debate?

What do you say about near death experiences where the person claims they've seen heaven or hell?

jlynn37 comments on Mar 27, 2019:

I have never met anyone who says they have experienced this. To everyone else I would say that the brain (aka god) works in mysterious ways. That seems to work for jebus people.

Atheists, what was the hardest thing to accept when you became atheist?

Nothing at all. It was just the right thing to do.

Many here might look at this and say "That's why I am agnostic/atheist" or whatever.

jlynn37 comments on Mar 22, 2019:

All religions are an "US v Them" mindset and that is just how they function and what they do.

Many with religious viewpoints say that religion makes them better as people,so it must be true.

jlynn37 comments on Mar 21, 2019:

"Yes I have no doubt that people became better morally". There is no evidence, facts or data to support that assertion and I believe the opposite is actually closer to the truth. Paraphrasing: "For good people to do bad things, it takes religion".

Since there is no evidence, facts or data to support the claim of the existence of any god or deity and therefore it is reasonable to conclude that none does exists to defend itself, it is left to humans to defend their invisible, imaginary creation.

I am retired, have a fixed pension and SS income and nothing has changed in my income and taxes in the past few years. I was receiving about $200+ refund for years. After Bush I was paying $200+. My 2018 return I am getting $1200+ refund which has already been direct deposited in my bank account . Go figure. The only change on my return was Standard Deductions which I have always taken and was almost doubled.

My only thought is to allow her daughter to live with her father and that would perhaps free her from financial responsibilities and allow her more freedom to live a more frugal life and allow her to continue with her education.

jlynn37 comments on Feb 16, 2019:

I am a voter and I vote in EVERY election and have since I became eligible. As far as I can determine, the only way we can affect/effect politics in 'merca is by voting, as an activitist or become a candidate. Once a candidate is elected, an activist is one's only option. If there is any other options I would like to know. I live in Texas and anytime I contact my congress person, I always receive a form letter essentially flippin' me off and telling me how great god and the GOP is and it will take care of things if we just pray hard enough and always vote conservative. What's a person to do?
