Why Do Atheist Seem More Depressed Than Theists? | Atheist Experience 22.19 - YouTube

jlynn37 comments on Jun 1, 2018:

If that is true, and I am skeptical, it is probably because we are so isolated. Hopefully this is changing with the times.

Am I the only one who checks this site/app every few minutes so I don't miss anything?

jlynn37 comments on Jun 1, 2018:

You are not the only one.

Why doesn't god intervene when innocent children are being raped or starved?

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

In your specific example, god must be thinking, "I see what you are doing but I will not intervene, however I will punish you later, unless of course you accept my son as your savior in which case we are good and I'll see you in paradise".

I just moved in to an "Old Folks Home" in Tucson.

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

An assisted living area sounds like a decent place to live when you get to the point that you need it. I had an aunt that lived in one for several years and she was happy there. I wish you well and success in finding what you are searching for here and in your life.

What’s the thing you hate most about dating websites?

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

I have never dated a website. (snark)

Why do you lie?

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

To protect myself or others from possible harm.

So, I recently found this podcast and have been listening to episodes while I go out for my walks.

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

A link would be helpful.

I wasn't sure how to categorize this.

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

What you wear does not make you anything. It is how you act.

What topic could you spend hours talking about?

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

For me, there is none that meet that criteria.

What would it take for someone to make an incredible connection with you?

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

Just a simple "hello and I want to meet you".

Why does it always come down to money?

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

Perhaps it can't hurt you but it can certainly hurt a lot of other people.

What is the quickest easiest meal that you make yourself and love?

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

Ramen Noodle soup (add a can of mixed vegetables or anything else you want to add).

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

I have posted this before but this is a good place for it.

Casual relationship

jlynn37 comments on May 31, 2018:

I would call it my kind of relationship. That has been what most of my relationships have been, what I prefer and still look for to this day.

The Bible - I find the lack of respect people in this room give to the Bible disturbing.

jlynn37 comments on May 30, 2018:

The bible is nothing more than a particular tribe's ramblings about how important, special and privileged it is. IMHO

jlynn37 comments on May 30, 2018:

What more needs to be said?

jlynn37 comments on May 30, 2018:

I would not get cigarettes for anyone, for any reason.

What do you do when you are EXPECTED to follow Christian beliefs?

jlynn37 comments on May 30, 2018:

I am not disruptive in any way, but I just ignore what is taking place and continue doing what I feel I need or want to do.

Do you find it offensive when theist think without a belief in god/gods, it’s impossible to have ...

jlynn37 comments on May 30, 2018:

I do not take offense at what other people think. What other's think is none of my business, does not concern me and does not affect me. It is their actions and what they do that has an affect on anyone.

Theists aren't alone in assuming an unquestioning belief in a comforting illusion.

jlynn37 comments on May 29, 2018:

Astrology comes to mind.

I'm in a Facebook discussion on a page that includes theists and atheists regarding "something ...

jlynn37 comments on May 29, 2018:

Whether "god" created something from nothing or nature created something from nothing, there is not a smidgen of difference in the two. The only thing to consider is that nature is real, visible, testable, knowable and god(s) are invisible, imaginary, unknowable, so take your pick.

Describe yourself in one word. Mine would be "fun".

jlynn37 comments on May 28, 2018:

Senior

I've never had the experience of going out with someone I hadn't already met.

jlynn37 comments on May 28, 2018:

I think it best to have a casual meeting at a public place for coffee and conversation and see if it is worthy of taking it to the next level. I have done this on several occasions and some I have just walked away from.

To our bible belt friends.

jlynn37 comments on May 28, 2018:

It has no affect on me at all, although I am not vocal about my non-belief.

Ten fun fact 1-You can’t wash your eyes with soap.

jlynn37 comments on May 28, 2018:

You have entirely too much time to deal with.

Who created God?

jlynn37 comments on May 27, 2018:

The mind of humans. It was created there and that is where it remains.

So what is your most hated song of alltime?

jlynn37 comments on May 26, 2018:

Why would anyone hate a song?

RUTH BADER GINSBURG.

jlynn37 comments on May 26, 2018:

One of my most admired people.

What are your thoughts on suicide?

jlynn37 comments on May 26, 2018:

It is an individual decision and choice.

jlynn37 comments on May 26, 2018:

Perhaps, but you are still dead.

The origins of the supernatural/ mysticism

jlynn37 comments on May 26, 2018:

Just my opinion but it is probably as primitive as humans.

If you became famous, would you enjoy all the attention or miss your privacy?

jlynn37 comments on May 26, 2018:

I would need to become famous to make that determination but my initial response is to maintain my privacy.

Just seen a interesting question on another site and thought I would ask the same question here.

jlynn37 comments on May 26, 2018:

I have a family and I love them and we are in good terms with one another, but if I had no family at all, my life would change very little.

The Expanse?

jlynn37 comments on May 26, 2018:

I checked Netflix and Hulu and it was not on either so this must be strictly on Amazon which I will not sign up for.

Extraterrestrialism. Is that a thing?

jlynn37 comments on May 25, 2018:

There could very well be other life in other parts of this universe, and probably is, but until some evidence, facts and data are produced to support it, it is just speculation.

Why can't it happen and be?

As a non-believer, what is your moral foundation?

jlynn37 comments on May 25, 2018:

I have posted this before but here I will say it again. First of all, recongnize and accept that we are one species, one family and we are all cousins in that family, then love everyone in your family and love each cousin as the individual that they are. Strive to treat everyone the way you want to be treated. Strive to never do anything to anyone that you would not want done to you. Strive to do or cause no harm.

It's interesting when I bring up Ayn Rand people write the opposite of what she is saying.

jlynn37 comments on May 25, 2018:

While I am not all that familier with her writings, it would be difficult to disagree with that statement. I would imagine, while writing more than 1 book, she had a lot more to say than what you just wrote and I assume it is a quote from her.

What do you think about accepting a friend request from your ex on Facebook?

jlynn37 comments on May 25, 2018:

I would have no issue with that at all. She would simply be my ex and I would hope still a friend. If she was not still a friend, it would be her decision and not mine.

How important is your family history or lineage to you?

jlynn37 comments on May 25, 2018:

I have done some family research on Ansestry.com and while it was interesting and impressive, it had no affect on my life.

I have a habit of not being able to let misinformation go without pointing it out.

jlynn37 comments on May 25, 2018:

Good luck with that approach and I do wish you success.

Are you a fan of the theory of negative clothing?

jlynn37 comments on May 25, 2018:

I am a fan. I prefer to see a woman wearing only a bikini or only panties, wearing a revealing dress and pants to totally naked.

If anybody feels they can explain men to me, I'd appreciate that. I need a refresher course.

jlynn37 comments on May 25, 2018:

I can try to explain ME to you but that is all I am qualified to do.

Food Pantries, Financial Aid, Counciling From Agnostics/Atheists?

jlynn37 comments on May 24, 2018:

Certainly not all food pantries or guidance organizations are religious affiliated and certainly few professional ones are.

Why Do People Assume "Amoral" When You Say You Are Atheist?

jlynn37 comments on May 24, 2018:

Indoctrination, brainwashing and just parroting what their authority figures dictate to them.

Why do some humans have the desire to feel superior to other humans?

jlynn37 comments on May 24, 2018:

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Received a call from a guy that I've not seen in over 10 years.

jlynn37 comments on May 24, 2018:

Make it clear that you would like to converse with him but if it can't be done without the "god" bit, then you will not continue.

Do you like for people to remember or celebrate your birthday or is it just another ordinary day?

jlynn37 comments on May 24, 2018:

Who wants to celebrate growing old and approaching ones certain demise?

What beliefs do you have that you know will never change?

jlynn37 comments on May 23, 2018:

I believe that I will eventually die.

You are not the only one who feels like this.

Appeal to Ignorance

jlynn37 comments on May 23, 2018:

I try to live an evidence based life. My position on the validity anything relies on whether there is reasonable evidence, facts and data to support what is being presented. If there is no such evidence, facts and data of what is presented then it is just a hypothesis and remains so until such evidence, facts and data can be presented.

Is Reality Just a Figment of Our Imagination?

jlynn37 comments on May 23, 2018:

Everything and all reality is created by/in the brain.

I received a friendship request on Facebook.

jlynn37 comments on May 23, 2018:

Bring the subject up and talk about it. You had no idea of this, even after chatting with him for a while, until you saw his FB page. Perhaps he is just using his FB page to impress his religious family and friends. You will never know unless you ask. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thoughts on "things happen for a reason"

jlynn37 comments on May 23, 2018:

This just goes to show that while all A-theist are non-believers in any god(s), we can believe any and every thing else.

Bible verses that still bother you.

jlynn37 comments on May 22, 2018:

Why should any bible verse bother a non-believer? We are non-believers and anything and everything in the bible is total nonsense.

When is no evidence, evidence?

jlynn37 comments on May 22, 2018:

It is for me. There has never been any evidence presented in support of any deity (only quoted scripture) and more than enough in support of no deity for me and in support of the natural world.

Hello! I'm brand new here...?

jlynn37 comments on May 22, 2018:

You are absolutely NOT being rude. You are recognizing your own accomplishments and your family and friends should be doing the same. I would simply acknowledge their comments in a Courteous manner, say thank you and leave it at that and move on. By the way, congratulations on your accomplishments and a job well done. I am proud of you and I admire you so much. I wish you well and success in finding what you are searching for here and in your life.

jlynn37 comments on May 22, 2018:

I would have never guessed.

I am addicted to NETFLIX.

jlynn37 comments on May 22, 2018:

I ditched my cable and satellite years ago and only have OTA antenna, which I rarely watch but I have it and it is free (I despise commercial TV and refuse to watch it). I have a computer connected to my HDTV and watch everything off the internet, including Netflix.

jlynn37 comments on May 22, 2018:

She is an appointee of Trump and can be removed very quickly by a different elected POTUS. VOTE.

Is it not as easy to say there is no god, as it is to say there is a god?

jlynn37 comments on May 22, 2018:

Of course it is. Anyone can say anything. I do NOT require proof, but I do require evidence, facts and data to support any claim. Your mileage may vary.

jlynn37 comments on May 22, 2018:

People, this meme is NOT about computers, web browsers, programs. It is about the mindset of religious individuals.

In a lot of situations do you ask yourself, is it real or is it just money?

jlynn37 comments on May 21, 2018:

What does money have to do with what is real?

jlynn37 comments on May 21, 2018:

None what so ever and what most theist do is just quote some scripture from their books and say it is proof. Of course they have nothing outside their book so what else can they do.
