If God was a real being, how would you see him as being?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 11, 2018:
IT would look like what IT wanted to look like and how IT wanted you to see or perceive IT.

Nothing.
Do you feel it is necessary to be anti religious groups of people to be agnostic or atheist?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 11, 2018:
I do not belittle other people's beliefs. I do however resist religious people forcing their nonsense on everyone else and doing so much harm to humanity and this planet.
Desert?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 11, 2018:
I most likely just did not happen and was a contrived story like all the rest of it.
Well, I'm new here :) so, hello. Would anyone care to share how they came across Agnostic.com?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 11, 2018:
Facebook for me and now this is one of my many times daily go to sites.
I grew up in a right wing fundamentalist home, so when I left home I left religion and just didn't ...
jlynn37 comments on Jan 10, 2018:
I doubt that there could be anything happen to me that would make me want to base my life on a nonsensical fairy tale.
Is it the waffle or the pancake that is more religious?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 10, 2018:
To be more specific, is it the waffle or pancake that has the one TRUE religion.
Does religion interest you?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 10, 2018:
Only to the extent that it infringes on my rights as a human, as a citizen, as a free moral agent and the rights of others for the same reasons.
I'm thinking that there are a lot more atheists and agnostics than we know about.
jlynn37 comments on Jan 10, 2018:
It is also safer.
Phone rings blocked number.

He is trying to get you to send money so he can fix imaginary issue on your computer. Microsoft does NOT call ANYONE concerning computer problems. If you have a Microsoft computer and you have problems, YOU call Microsoft.
What if you are wrong and there IS a god
jlynn37 comments on Jan 9, 2018:
Then I am wrong.
What does the "H" stand for, as in Jesus H. Christ?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 9, 2018:
My guess would be "holy shit".
Other than religion, in what way are you a minority where you live?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 9, 2018:
I live in Texas and I am a secular humanist, a liberal, I love ALL my brothers and sisters in my human family and in Texas, you can not get much more minority than that.
"Being an atheist means you have to realise that when you die, that really is it.
jlynn37 comments on Jan 9, 2018:
That is not necessarily so as being an Atheist has nothing to do with death. Atheism is just, "disbelief OR lack of belief [non-belief] in the existence of God or gods". That is all.
In making the case for a benevolent God how would you explain such suffering in the world?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 9, 2018:
There is no way one could make a case for the Abrahamic god to be benevolent. (IMHO)
If there is no eternity, how can there be eternal life?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 8, 2018:
Eternal life as religion postulates it is about a god and a supernatural existence and has noting to do with this natural universe.
One thing I see occasionally is the "if there is no proof then it must be fake/non-existant" ...
jlynn37 comments on Jan 8, 2018:
My personal opinion: If there is no evidence, facts or data for something's existence, then that something does not exist.
Should you be fully able to defend your atheism/ agnosticism ?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 8, 2018:
I see no reason to defend my atheist/agnostic position in any way.
In my recent post I gave an example of blood shed on religion background from the 16 th century.
jlynn37 comments on Jan 8, 2018:
In most countries, Christianity is less violent and bloodthirsty only because of secular laws preventing it.
I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I do know a few things.
jlynn37 comments on Jan 8, 2018:
Growing old is not the problem, it is the side effects. As you get older, that "hot, romantic sex partner" becomes less relevant and there is very little one can do about it.
I love when I hear christians sing or talk about the song "Hallelujah" as a religious song.
jlynn37 comments on Jan 8, 2018:
I thought you were referring to the “Hallelujah” Chorus from Handel’s Messiah.
Who?
jlynn37 comments on Jan 4, 2018:
I have found the ONE and it is ME. I love, enjoy, appreciate every woman who I have had the pleasure of sharing a friendship/relationship with in my life and hope to continue to do so.
Is there any youtube channel you would recommend for the topic of atheism?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 31, 2017:
Pat Condell, Mrs. Betty Bowers. for religious humor and snarkism.
I have a fun (if you don't mind awkward) social experiment.
jlynn37 comments on Dec 31, 2017:
In the Appalachian area I came from the typical response is "scat there". The common belief being that when you sneeze, an evil sprite or demon is being expelled and the phrase is tell the entity to scat or get out of here.
How do I deal with my Christian mother?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 30, 2017:
Tell her that if god exists, that it knows exactly what it would take to make you a believer and if it truly loved you and wanted you to believe, it would provide you with whatever it takes.
does desire to convert someone to atheistic belief sometimes undercut our abiding love for science?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 30, 2017:
I, for one as an Atheist, do not want to convert anyone. I just want to stop the harm that ALL religious beliefs cause to humanity and to this planet.
Does all life have inherent value?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 30, 2017:
This is one of those situations that I feel is just none of my business and I will leave it to the affected parties.
Your definition for atheism is wrong.
jlynn37 comments on Dec 29, 2017:
There simply is no evidence, data or facts for the existence of any deity or the supernatural and until some credible evidence, data or facts can be presented, deities or the supernatural do not exist.
are you afraid of death?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 29, 2017:
The process of dying, sure, but of death itself, what is there to be frightened of? One just ceases to exist at the moment of death but you are not aware you are dead as you will not be aware of anything.
I think there is a lot of confusion with terms in this area.
jlynn37 comments on Dec 28, 2017:
As far as I am concerned, if their is no evidence for somethings existence, it does not exist.
Do you have a favorite season? Why?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 28, 2017:
I am an outdoors and nature loving person. I used to snow ski and enjoyed all the seasons and each season offered different opportunities to be outdoors and in nature. I am retired, live by a nice lake, own a boat and personal water craft, so Summer is a good time for those activities with family and friends. I own a small camping trailer and enjoy camping and hiking. Living in Texas, I prefer Spring and Autumn for camping and being outdoors and in nature. Life is good.
Anyone else of the opinion that our country was founded on the premise of freedom of religion, but ...
jlynn37 comments on Dec 27, 2017:
You can not have freedom of religion if you do not have freedom from religion.
In the school I work in, there’s a lot of openly religious people, I usually just blend in the ...
jlynn37 comments on Dec 27, 2017:
My response is: It is your god and your religion, It only exists in your brain and in your mind, it has nothing at all to do with me, it has no affect on me and I give it no second thought. Have a nice day.
Anyone believe that UFO sighting that's all over the news?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 27, 2017:
Anything you see or observe in the sky that you do know what it is is a "UFO" by definition. As to being extraterrestrial, I would need a lot more evidence so my answer is NO.
camping and backpacking
jlynn37 comments on Dec 27, 2017:
I am a lifelong outdoors in nature person and have taken week long backpacking and canoe adventures, rafting, hiking to tops of mountains and I still camp frequently in my Aframe trailer and hike the trails in at the campgrounds. National Forests are my preferred camping areas.
Do we have a purpose in life?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 26, 2017:
In my opinion, there is NO purpose to live and each creates their own purpose.
Is it rationally justified to pay for sex ?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 26, 2017:
People go to therapists, and pay them, to get treatment and relief from many types of issues, be it physical, emotional, psychological, whatever. Paying someone for sexual relief, enjoyment, satisfaction is no different in my opinion.
What right does a religious person have to threaten a person that don’t believe how they do?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 26, 2017:
I say: it is your god, your religion, your hell, it exists only in your mind and in your brain, it does not concern me in any way and has nothing to do with me in any way. Have a nice day.
What has led you to be atheist or agnostic?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 26, 2017:
Observing reality of how everyday life on planet earth works.
How comfortable are you with the word "Atheist" ?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
I consider myself a Secular Humanist but I will say that I am an Atheist without hesitation.
Because I am an atheist does it mean that I should disrespect or not knowledgeable other peoples ...
jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
Atheism - "disbelief OR lack of belief [non-belief] in the existence of God or gods". That is ALL that Atheism is.
Any older experienced atheists around here have any life advice for a young man entering into the ...
jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
Observe reality around you to know the truth, accept what evidence, facts and data tell you about what is real and not faith or dogma or authority or propaganda.
We love not under compulsion—on the contrary, we love because it's the human thing to do.
jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
I love you as my brother or sister in my human family, I love you as the unique person that you are, I love you as a friend.
"Politics" is a genteel filthy word with teeth.
jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
Well stated my friend.
Does the phenomenon of marriage have a place in a civilized rational society ?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
I personally say why not but I would leave it to individual choice. I would not marry again.

jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
Had to read it twice to catch the humor. Good laugh.
I see people who are atheist or agnostic have a prejudice in their mind to almost everything! Do you...
jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
We are human beings and we ALL display such conditions. Atheism or Agnosticism has nothing to do with it. Atheism - "disbelief OR lack of belief [non-belief] in the existence of God or gods". That is ALL it is and it has nothing to do with anything else.
Hi everyone. I am form Brazil and I want to know what you think about atheism
jlynn37 comments on Dec 25, 2017:
Atheism - "disbelief OR lack of belief [non-belief] in the existence of God or gods". That's all there is to it and nothing more so there is really nothing to think about or discuss. Now if you should ask WHY are you an Atheist, that could be a topic to think about and discuss.
What is your response when people threaten you with religious punishments? (i.e. Hell/Jahannam)
jlynn37 comments on Dec 24, 2017:
I tell them it is their religion, their god, their hell, it exists only in their mind and it has nothing to do with me and affects me in no way.
It makes me sad and angry that people haven't figured this out yet.
jlynn37 comments on Dec 24, 2017:
I think most people, especially conservatives, are authoritarians, do not want to think for themselves and just accept what their authority figures tell them.
If you could give ANY gift to ANYone what would you give and to whom?
jlynn37 comments on Dec 24, 2017:
I would want every human on this planet to have, at a minimum, as good a life that I have.
I got into a discussion a few days ago with a religious person who had said, "everything happens for...
jlynn37 comments on Dec 23, 2017:
If anything happens for a reason, that reason is Physics.
