Of course, we have done nothing. That is what the religious authority figures tell the sheeple and they believe ANYTHING authority figures say. That is just what A-theist have to deal with in a religious society.

jlynn37 comments on Jan 3, 2019:

You are venturing into a no win situation arguing with Christians (or most any religious individuals). It has been going on for centuries with the same results. If you feel that you must do this for whatever reason, I do wish you well and success in your efforts.

Has anyone ever thought about rediscovering religion or thought about going back to the Church?

jlynn37 comments on Jan 3, 2019:

It is possible to "rediscover" religion and go back to church for the social aspect of it, but "rediscovering" god, what is there to rediscover of something that does not exist?

We always gotta blame someone else. If we took responsibility, it would require us to take some action and do something. As long as we can blame others, we don't have to do anything.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post regarding racism.

jlynn37 comments on Jan 3, 2019:

Probably a wise decision but could be a missed opportunity. It is something I would not attempt myself and I admire you for even considering it. Having been raised in the deep south, if you gave any hint that you supported equal rights, you were labeled a "nigger lover" and opened yourself up to a world of hurt. Thankfully that only exists very limited now.

OKAY, NOW.

2019 Congress by religious affiliation

jlynn37 comments on Jan 3, 2019:

It must be considered that one must "profess" some religious belief to even be elected to any government position local or national and in the USA Christian is almost mandatory. That does not necessarily mean they actually believe it, they just want to be elected. It is dishonest but who says politicians can't be dishonest. Wait .. what.

Does this I have to build a pyramid before I die?

jlynn37 comments on Jan 3, 2019:

Nope. You will be just as dead whether you are in a pine box, in a pyramid or just decaying on the ground and will not be aware of any of it. Now, don't concern yourself about your demise as it will happen when it happens. Life is brief and unpredictable so be yourself, go out and enjoy your life while you still have the privilege and opportunity to do so.

I fine this type of music irritating to listen too. Just goes to show how each individual is different and how we individually perceive reality, be it religion, politics, music, you name it.

I do not have an affinity for pets of any stripe. I do not want anything that I have to feed, clean-up after or take care of. I do enjoy wild creatures and pretty much anything in nature. My property is a wildlife sanctuary. I simply can not relate to people's almost religious attachment to pets. Pets seem to be people's god and they worship them as such. You do you, I do me and let's strive to do or cause no harm.

In my opinion, you did not decide to be an A-theist, you just became one out of observation, logic, reason and intellect.
