What devices and/or services do use to watch tv?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 9, 2018:
I gave up cable and satellite years ago and only use an OTA antenna, but there is little I watch on commercial TV at all. I have a computer connected to my HDTV, use it as my monitor and watch YouTube videos and other things of interest to me from the Internet.
I've been debating online quite a bit with family.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 8, 2018:
Unless you or the person you are conversing with has experienced a NDE, it is nothing but hearsay.
Men/Women, Is sex a requirement for an enjoyable romantic relationship?

I have no idea nor do I care at all.
Apologetics
jlynn37 comments on Jul 7, 2018:
America is a christian nation and the Constitution is based on biblical principals.
This question is going to be controversial, but with the subject matter it's to be expected.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 7, 2018:
I do not think you are using race as a criteria for any of what you say, but the character of the individual and that is absolutely the criteria that EVERYONE should use in all relationships and associations. To paraphrase a famous American, you are not judging anyone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Athiesm and Stoicism?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 7, 2018:
I get up every morning, live my day as I please and go to bed every night. The only caveat is that I strive to cause or do no harm in how I live my day.

Do you ever look at young people and wonder what their 50th high school reunion will be like?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 7, 2018:
I graduated HS in 1956 and have never attended a reunion. I thought about my 50th but a classmate advised me not to attend and to just remember them as they were when we were in HS.
Do sacred sites move you?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 7, 2018:
There is nothing "sacred" about them. They are just great architectural structures.
Gotta admit I fall a little short, but this article is so true.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 6, 2018:
Why would it take a strong woman, any woman or any one to tell you not to waste time on assholes. Seem like it would be obvious to me. I guess there are plenty masochists to go around.
When did God......
jlynn37 comments on Jul 6, 2018:
I am reasonably sure this is one of those unanswerable questions.

What kind of music do you like? I like anything but new country. Wow! What a nice variety here.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 5, 2018:
There is hardly any of todays "music" (I use the term loosely) that I would even listen too. It is mostly noise pollution to my ears. There are exceptions but very few. I enjoy dancing to C&W but do not listen to any of it. I listen to mostly instrumental music. Your mileage may vary.
What non-materialistic things do you do to increase your happiness?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 5, 2018:
Loving above all else. Loving all others as your brother or sister in your human family, Loving each and every individual as the unique person that they are, Loving each and every person as a friend and strive to do or cause no harm.

Is nationalism a way for a group of people to strive towards a common goal, or mearly glorifying ...
jlynn37 comments on Jul 4, 2018:
Nationalism, like religion and two sides of the same coin, is basically an us vs. them mentality.

jlynn37 comments on Jul 4, 2018:
"Make America Great Again". Are we great again yet? Totally laughable.
When did you last have sex with a partner? (A 50 and over confidential poll)
jlynn37 comments on Jul 4, 2018:
"I think sex can be pretty great, but sometimes it's not that great.". The worst I ever had was wonderful. "For me, I haven't been in relationship for several years, so it's been a long dry spell. ". One does not have to be in a relationship to have and enjoy sex. "I'm starting to wonder if this is something that one "should" be ashamed of.". In my opinion, one should only be ashamed when they have caused or done harm to another.
Happy 4th to All.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 4, 2018:
Followed orders but I would not need the orders as I do NOT discuss politics and/or religion. It is a waste of time, effort and energy.
Men, what would you think of a woman if they were forward with you and asked you out on a date.

jlynn37 comments on Jul 4, 2018:
"I as a retired older gentleman". So that is why I am that I am. And I imagined there was something wrong with me. I am relieved.

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?
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIGION AND MAGIC?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
Religion is a belief system, magic is what someone does for show and entertainment.
Can a dog really sense diabetes?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
That is what studies seems to suggest and that is all I have to go by and studies suggest that dogs can sense a person about to have a seizer.. Take it for what it's worth.
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.
The beach is my go to place to center myself.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:

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.
How would your perfect dating profile read?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:

The old debate rises again! (or closes again)
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
Try leaving the seat down and pissing all over it and see what happens. Men do not have complete control of how their aim will be in that situation.
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 society's accepted norms. If a pro-lifer got an unwanted pregnancy, she would have an abortion without a second thought. My opinion of course.
The formal intellectual position on belief in supernatural beings is agnosticism.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
Secular Humanism is my classification when asked. I arrive at my conclusion as an A-theist by the fact there is no, and never has been, any verifiable evidence, facts or data to support a Theist claim, and it is just a claim, and until some evidence, facts and data can be produced, my conclusion is there is NO god(s).
I am hurting my brain with this one so I need a little help.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 3, 2018:
There is bad in life that we just can not fix. Tea and sympathy is about all we have. I hope you come to a successful conclusion to what you are experiencing.

As long as you're of legal age is all that matters to me.

Why is Atheism still so misunderstood in 2018?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 2, 2018:
It is a good catch word for theist to hate others, they are instructed to do so in their dogma and that is what their authority figure tell them to do.
I have friends and family who don't think there is a god but refuse the label of atheist because of ...

Do you think a good person is someone who never gets angry?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 2, 2018:

I'm probably the outlier here, but I think fireworks are overrated and over done.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 2, 2018:
I do not pay any mind to them any more and can tolerated a little celebration and noise for a short time.

What’s the worst or most boring job you’ve ever had?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
Being a gigolo for the Kardashian women. I wanted to quit immediately but they wouldn't let me up to leave.
Dealing with family and loved ones
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
Recognizing the untruth and delusion of religion must be accomplished by the individual. You can talk people into religion, most especially children, but not out of religion. It has to be done by the believer examining his belief and why he believes it. You can lead a horse to water, but you can not make it drink.
Is Buddhism a religion or a philosophy? How about Taoism?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
Who am I to say what another's life and belief is or is not?
How often do you watch movies or read books that express a nuanced opinion about religion?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
I do occasionally, but hearing opposing views is just the same old dogmatic nonsense that I have heard all my life. If anyone had anything new to bring to the topic it might be different. It is pretty much "the bible says" and that is all they have to offer. I would enjoy hearing something new.
Do you even read the previous responses before you spout your opinion on the topic?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
Mostly not. I almost always "spout my opinion", then read other's comments. If you do not participate is some way, you do not advance your points.
Can adopting spiritual practice be an adaptive response to trauma?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
Kudos to your brother for the wonderful work he has dedicated his life to. I am proud of him and I admire him. Whatever the reason that prompted him to change his path, everything that has been done, has been done by HIM and not any outside entity or force. He alone is to be credited for any and all achievements in his life. Just my opinion of course.
Drink yourself a glass of red wine.???
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
And this information came from? My immediate guess would be, the red wine industry.
There are many in here who have confused not believing in the judeo Christian God with atheism.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
A-theism is the non-belief in god(s), PERIOD. It has nothing to do with spirits, ghosts, UFO, bigfoot, aliens, astrology, superstition. One can be an A-theist and believe in all those things, just not believe in god(s).
Recommendations for what to watch on Netflix please.
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
My recommendation is to watch YouTube videos to learn something as well as be entertained and it is free.
High risk jobs
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
I am not one of those people but I would think they approach their work as just another job, they are too busy and focused taking care of business most of the times and the danger rarely enters their thoughts.
Do you like to fly?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
I enjoy flying but will only fly if that is the only way to get to a destination. I detest the hassel and inconvenience that is necessary this day and age to board an aircraft.

Is it possible to be a "closet introvert?
jlynn37 comments on Jul 1, 2018:
I am a loner and an introvert, preferring to be by myself MOST of the time. I can be social when necessary. I have never been associated with any type of group per say, although I was a member of a fantastic singles Sunday School Class for many years and throughly enjoy it and the activities I participated in which were many and varied but strictly for social purpose.

Can Americans please comment on the geographical extent of oppression of atheists in your country?
jlynn37 comments on Jun 30, 2018:
I have lived in the "bible belt" all my life, Alabama and Texas, and I have never experienced "oppression" as an A-theist. I must admit that I am NOT an outspoken A-theist and you cannot be identified as an A-theist just by looks.

I joined this site because of the Title, Agnostic.

jlynn37 comments on Jun 30, 2018:
What do you need other than your brain, reason, logic, skepticism, ability to understand reality. If there is evidence, facts and data to support the existence in any god(s) then present it, none has ever been presented, if there isn't any, then forget it and move on.

What is the main reason why you became a non-beliver or a believer of anything spiritual?
jlynn37 comments on Jun 30, 2018:
I live an evidence based life, I am a realist, and I have never seen any evidence, facts or data to even suggest that any god(s) exist and reality tells me that none exists and none is needed.
Sadness is on my mind today.

I wish you well in life's journey and success in finding what you are searching for here and in your life.

Do you regularly meet up with other atheists/agnostics?
jlynn37 comments on Jun 29, 2018:
I live in a rural area near Waco, TX and do not know of any such groups near me. I might like to attend one to see if I would be interested. However, I am a loner and an introvert and prefer to be by myself most of the time, but I am capable of being social, only for a limited amount of time.

Is anti-theism on a par with racism?
jlynn37 comments on Jun 29, 2018:
Nonsense, anyone is allowed to criticize anyone for any reason. At least in most parts of the world. Race, if it even exists, is a natural human condition and does no harm to anyone. Religion however is a contrived idea and does immense harm all over the world.
What’s the one thing you like to talk about?
