Agnostic vs Athiest

Commonsense comments on Jun 24, 2018:

I just dont bother looking at it does it really matter? Everyone has their things or religion or mystic stuff they cling to. Honestly you cant change peoples minds on the matter its best to live your own life

Amen brother.

SkotlandSkye comments on Jun 24, 2018:

I truly stand behind my ethics....from being Vegan to supporting the Libertarian Party. I believe in the rights of ALL Earthlings to live as they see fit and have control over their own lives (so long as they harm no others in any manner). Harm None. Ahimsa.

jlynn37 replies on Jun 24, 2018:

"(so long as they harm no others in any manner)" is the caveat.

Are you live and let live, confrontational when it comes to the unsubstantiated, or a circumstantial...

MichaelSpinler comments on Jun 24, 2018:

i am not apathetic to the harm these beliefs cause. i have never seen a case where someones belief in the unfounded god nonsense, did not effect our world in some way. who they vote for, how they go about researching. or research at all. i find most to be lazy thinkers. the organized religions, are ...

Depending on the area that you live in, showing your A-theism can be hazardous to your well being.

UFO’s, science, and religion

Jnei comments on Jun 24, 2018:

There are thousands of documented sightings, pictures and videos, mostly easily available on the internet, of Mickey Mouse. Must we therefore assume he's real, too? I am of the opinion that life probably does exist out there beyond the Earth, somewhere. Whether or not any of it is capable of ...

Some humans are extremely gullible. Why do you think we got saddled with 45? The morons voted for a reality television celebutard.

@Joenobody Totally unnecessary response.

Ok, I have two questions! No hostile answers please! 1. Define a Liberal?

Akfishlady comments on Jun 23, 2018:

Very simply put. Liberal is open (to change, diversity, personal growth, immigration, taxes to help those in need and more) Conservative is closed (to change, diversity, personal growth unless it means the bottom line, opinions that don't match their own, etc.) I think there is a great amount ...

Got to keep the natives stirred up so they will not notice religion and corruption creeping in and taking over.

Just another thought in passing.

jlynn37 comments on Jun 23, 2018:

I agree with most of what you have stated. I believe Confucius may have been the first to record a version of the golden rule. The golden rule has it's flaws as some may not want to be treated the way you want to be treated. The silver rule is much more powerful; do NOT do to anyone that which you ...

jlynn37 replies on Jun 23, 2018:

@evidentialist There is also the "Platinum Rule"; Treat others the way THEY want to be treated. Big difference there.

AmelieMatisse comments on Jun 23, 2018:

If he would say that he was going up in the first ship to be emperor of outer space I'd be clapping. You are right, it would be all money in contracts to friends. Our country has completely gone off the rails.

jlynn37 replies on Jun 23, 2018:

"it would be all money in contracts to friends. Our country has completely gone off the rails.", this country has been that way since WWll and Eisenhower warned us about it. Trump is just taking it to the next level of corruption.

jlynn37 replies on Jun 23, 2018:

@evidentialist They had to call it something and "Golden Rule" was taken. If I'm not mistaken, Christianity is the only religion that has the "do" and all the rest has the "don't do"

Ok, I have two questions! No hostile answers please! 1. Define a Liberal?

Theskeptic comments on Jun 23, 2018:

Thank you all for your thoughts! Now I would like to ask one more question. 1. How many of us have formed our opinions of conservatives and liberals based on the information supplied to us by the MEDIA? ?

jlynn37 replies on Jun 23, 2018:

I think it is ingrained in very nature and being.

Just another thought in passing.

LOLOLOLOL! We have a cat we believe was a hairdresser in a previous life, probably in the 50's and 60's. She loves to knead my hair when I'm sleeping so I wake up looking thoroughly back combed :D

For me it would take something like the lake I live by to separate at my command and I could walk to the other side and back on the lake bottom. Something that god has already done before so I would not be asking for something special.

jlynn37 replies on Jun 23, 2018:

@WilliamFleming "Opinions" from a few learned and knowledgeable individuals does not unify science and religion, although it might for you.. You more than likely will find many more "opinions" from learned and knowledgeable individuals that refute your argument. IMHO

That is all well and good but it is important to verify that they are indeed scammers and not just "I have a feeling", "that photo looks like a scammer", etc.

Quattrostagione comments on Jun 22, 2018:
