Labels are bullshit. Arguing about labels means arguing about bullshit. It's discouraging that non - believes can and do fall into the same traps and patterns as believers. If you know yourself and stay true to that, why the fuck does what others believe, or how they describe themselves, make any difference? SMH 🙄

2 Weeks on "Plenty Of Fish"

zeuser comments on Apr 28, 2019:

After my divorce, about 9 and a half years ago, I tried both POF and Match. All told I think I had 3 dates, none of which was a second date. Women I was interested in online were generally not interested in me, pretty much like in real life. So I stopped. I did get a date recently on Tinder. Sweet woman, very cute and intelligent, but way too young for me and we both knew it. I've had much better results the old fashioned way. I'm not breaking any records, but it passes the time every so often. It's a crap shoot no matter how you do it.

How many members on here are openly atheists in the bible belt? And are you treated differently?

zeuser comments on Apr 28, 2019:

Granted I live in one of the urban centers of North Kackalacky (the Raleigh area), but I'm surprised by how many people sheepishly say "me too" when I open the door with my admission. Some people say they'll pray for me. (How's that working out for y'all?) Every so often I see someone in the rearview mirror at a stoplight shaking their head and frowning at my Darwin fish. I generally only talk about it when asked, and steer clear of zealots, but I never shy away from admitting it.

Do you sing in the car?

Not only that, I'm the steering wheel percussionist at stoplights.

Despite being atheist, im pretty sure I 100% believe in Tarot cards.

zeuser comments on Apr 28, 2019:

People are wired to detect patterns, even when patterns don't exist. Whether it's Tarot cards, tea leaves, planetary motion, reading entrails or casting wands, people see things in the patterns, and those usually reflect a hopeful desire in the pattern reader being "confirmed" by the pattern. As a tool for intelligent introspection, Tarot cards are as good a device to focus attention inward as anything else. But that's all they are. Good luck in your endeavors.

I am an atheist.

zeuser comments on Apr 27, 2019:

Not sure if this helps, but all experiences are useful, if not immediately then eventually. Negative experiences are often more instructive than positive ones, and positive experience can also lead to net negative results. I took a job for at a cable tv corporate HQ, strictly for the money, that turned out to be hell on earth, and my position was eliminated in a corporate takeover right after my then wife was laid off. At the time, we had little one year old girl and no prospects. We moved cross-country , both found work, and I lasted 28 years at a great job here. It doesn't always work out that way, but you never know. You don't lose unless you quit, but I think you know that already. Best of luck to you, hon. I'm betting you'll land on your feet. 8-)

This characteristic is not limited to spiritual non denominational types. There are plenty of people who have very strong opinions based on nothing who like to appear reasonable, but will not abide any difference of opinion.

zeuser comments on Apr 27, 2019:

Good writing comes from effective revisions, and if your lucky, from the advice of a good editor. I think it was Hemingway who said something like "All first drafts are shit." Seeing how writers who you like handle certain things can be very educational, but you do have to do it the way you think is best, or risk becoming derivative. Derivative is good in genre fiction, though, so there is that.

Belief is the death of intelligence do you agree?

zeuser comments on Apr 23, 2019:

Linus Pauling, one of my atheist heroes who won two Nobel prizes (the peace prize, and one for chemistry), said this when asked what he believed. "I believe that all complicated phenomena can be explained using simpler scientific principles." That quote galvanized my own atheism some 45 years ago, but it is in essence a statement of belief. He was not an unintelligent man. So though I know what you are driving at here, no, I don't think that's universally true.

Where I hail from originally in NEPA, the few churches that remain in my hometown have switched to using recordings of musical bells blasted over loudspeakers instead of actual bells. Here in NC, there are a lot of strip mall level congregations without any bells at all. Nothing from the hindu or Mormon temples either. The megachurches generally are in auditoriums, and again no bells. The Buddhists mainly show up for the food. Sorry you've got a ringing in your ears, I know it can be irritating.

I guess it would depend on how technology developed without a religiously inspired profit motive which ignores externalities and runs roughshod over anything in its way. Would that happen any differently in a largely pagan world? Good question. At the very least, though, that whole dark ages vibe with the inquisition and the elimination of scientific minds in favor of superstitious bullshit would definitely have panned out differently. Great thought experiment. Good post.
