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

jlynn37 comments on Oct 8, 2018:

To begin with their dogma requires them to do so. Then they are just wanting to exert power over others. Then there is their arrogance in saying that I am the only one who is right and who knows what is best.

Does evil exist? As non-believers do we still accept the concept of evil in its pure form?

jlynn37 comments on Oct 7, 2018:

In my opinion, evil is strictly a human condition. My definition of evil is anything that is done deliberately, intentionally, with malice of forethought that causes harm or damage to another. Non-human animals, plants, non-living things are not and can not be evil as it has to be a deliberate, conscious decision one makes to cause harm.

Proselytizing and trying to convert is the least of the issues I have with theists as it is just an annoyance and can be stopped fairly easily. However, the day to day force feeding of religion in the lives of others via governmental rules and laws is another issue and must be resisted at all costs. VOTE in November.

I would like to share a question some of my friends from the believer’s communities commonly ask.

jlynn37 comments on Sep 19, 2018:

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with non-believers participating in and enjoying friendships in religious events and activities. Nothing is forcing anyone to do anything they do not want to do. I was a member of a singles sunday school class for about 10 years and was some of the best times of my life. I never stepped foot in the sanctuary. Ignore the nonsense, meet people and have a good time.

jlynn37 comments on Sep 18, 2018:

I have absolutely no issues in meeting and talking to strangers. One of the activities I enjoy doing while camping, is walking the campground and talking to campers and getting a bit of their stories. I will introduce myself to a strange woman to see if she might be receptive to getting acquainted, and it is about 50/50.

Would you settle with a religious person or just stay single?

jlynn37 comments on Sep 17, 2018:

I would just stay single, PERIOD. I will and have dated religious women and will continue to do so. I do not date women for religious reasons, or any reason other than the contact that we are able to share for our mutual benefit and enjoyment. If it works, it works. If not, it is what it is.

I have been single and living alone for over 45 years, have been on several "free" dating sites for over 20 years and I can attest that it is entirely possible that you can "be happy with someone, if only for a series of moments." It will not happen quickly and you will encounter mostly scammers. NEVER send money or gifts to ANYONE on the internet for ANY reason and you will never be scammed. Enjoy your experience here

I can recall only 1 instance that it was not "sweet" (some sweeter than others of course). We double-dated (blind date) and went dancing. I am a non-drinker and when I did not order an alcoholic drink, my date had nothing to do with me the rest of the night.

Are You a Voter?

jlynn37 comments on Sep 13, 2018:

I have always voted and will continue to do so. The 'mercan political system is for the privileged and wealthy and has also morphed into for the religious. Unfortunately, my vote is usually against a politician (or for the lesser of two evils). Obama was the first candidate that I voted for the candidate because I thought he would make a difference but he turned out to be just another war criminal and I did not vote for him the second time. I strive to vote for candidates who support "we the people". In my opinion and my political philosophy, the GOP does NOT care for "we the people" in any way, shape, form or fashion. For what it is worth.

jlynn37 comments on Sep 13, 2018:

I am Agnostic. I strive to live and base my beliefs on evidence, facts and data and there is, and never has been, no evidence, facts or data to support the existence of ANY god(s). I am A-theist. A-theism is MY conclusion, based on MY life experiences and need to say no more.

Would you pay someone to date you?

jlynn37 comments on Sep 12, 2018:

I would/have/will pay someone to fuck me the same as I would pay a doctor, lawyer, physical therapist, masseuse, or anyone for services rendered. Actually, when a man takes a woman out on a date, he will end up paying for the time spent together for just about any activity they do together; dinner, a movie, etc, unless it is mutually agreed to share expenses.

I sometimes ask if there is any chance that I could change their mind and if they say no (they always say no) then I say what's the point of discussing it.

My thoughts on everyone going to heaven is there is also a hell and one is just as apt to go to hell as to heaven and no one would know until you are there. If you are christian, all non-christians are going to hell, if you are muslum, all non-muslums are going to hell, if you are protestant, all catholics are going to hell, if you are catholic, all protestants are going to hell, so it seems that everyone is going to hell.
