Let him go. Since my last man left, I've stopped holding on to people I've dated. They leave or stop talking to me I don't give them a second thought. One guy I went on a date with I really liked.

jlynn37 replies on Jul 10, 2018:
@Cabsmom And what would a book written about A-theism say? As been stated here many times, A-theism is the non-belief in god(s) and nothing more.

@Cabsmom Then I think you are not pursuing it honestly and truthfully but just patronizing each other.

I have been there and avoid it completely.

@Cabsmom That is not an A-theist book but a book written by an A-theist. An A-theist book can only say one thing, one has a non-belief in any god(s). It could give reasons why one maintains that position however.
So, I was at a book club.

jlynn37 replies on Jul 10, 2018:
@Lukian The story goes that Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman referred to the Higgs as the "Goddamn Particle." The nickname was meant to poke fun at how difficult it was to detect the particle. It took nearly half a century and a multi-billion dollar particle accelerator to do it. "The Goddamn Particle" was suppose to be the title of Lederman's book that came out in the 1990s and was wildly popular for a book about physics. However, his publishers weren't exactly on board with that phrasing, so the title was changed to "The God Particle."

@Sadoi Thank you and you are very welcome my dear.
I love the excitement of going to the grocery store the day before a holiday! You know what I ...
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
I can understand how shopping in general, for merchandise, can create havoc (black Fridays) for shoppers, but how does shopping for groceries, which is pretty much an every day necessity, enter into this?

@SukiSue I have never experienced that.

DaveSchumacher comments on Jul 3, 2018:
I've had a business here for 36 years. I can't tell you how much business I've lost because I'm a atheist. They see us as the devil around here instead of the loyal opposition.
jlynn37 replies on Jul 3, 2018:
They see us as what their authority figures tell them to see us. They do not seem to have the ability to think for themselves.
Anyone's watching 2018 FIFA World Cup?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
I have no interest in watching ANY sports activities at all. If I can do it, and I enjoy it, I will do it, but do not watch it being done by someone else. I do look to see who wins or loses at times but it has no affect on me in any way.
jlynn37 replies on Jul 3, 2018:
@Millerski25 I don't have cable or satellite and only have OTA antenna, but I hate commercial TV and will only watch some interesting PBS programs. My TV viewing is on YouTube and other Internet sites that I consider worth my time. Your mileage may vary.
Are you or have you ever known anyone to be agnostic/atheist AND pro-life?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
Pro-life is a misnomer. Pro-life is NOT about life at all, it is about punishment. Pro-lifer's could not care less about life as is demonstrated by their attitude after a child is born. They are interested in punishing a woman for what they consider an indiscretion against their beliefs and ...

@hugh As has been stated in Agnostics.com many times, A-theists can and do believe and accept anything that anyone else does, they just reject the belief that god(s) exist.

Is everyone tired of talking about the weather?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
I have not met anyone HERE that has even mentioned the weather. Since it is ALWAYS part of your everyday existence, it is difficult to ignore it.

@AstralSmoke I can relate my friend.
What are some of the biggest lies ever told in history?
Shawniedawn comments on Jun 26, 2018:
The bible is the most popular work of fiction in history. I can't tell you how many people live by this unproven story, and try to influence others to do the same.
jlynn37 replies on Jul 3, 2018:
@starwatcher-al I understand and agree with everything you are saying, but the bible IS total FICTION.

A Muslim martyr went to heaven.
Ellatynemouth comments on Jul 3, 2018:
Obviously the martyr is male and virgins are female. Why 72 and why virgins?... Because the people who made up that garbage are misogynistic douchebags.

You are absolutely correct my dear.

I don't quite understand what your are saying. The bible most definitely IS the most popular work of FICTION in history. There is very little NON-FICTION in it at all, if any.

The formal intellectual position on belief in supernatural beings is agnosticism.

But humanism is a secular philosophy and has nothing to do with ones religious beliefs. And catagories are deterimned by others, that is how society works.

@AmelieMatisse Another skeptic who believes in Astrology. Just goes to show that Agnostics and Atheists can believe in anything other than the existence of god(s).

This is the same as saying why are you getting mad because Mexicans have their kids taken away at the border, who's white and never has to deal with the demonization of being simultaneously lazy and on welfare and taking American jobs. I was injured on one of my first jobs right out of high school. ...
