Alright, alright! Everybody has a bitch! Tell me - what have you done to further the age of understanding & enlightenment? (No Buddhists, Theosophists or Necromancers, please).
I have been open about being an atheist( not an easy thing here in the bible belt of Florida) and been willing to discuss in an even tempered manner with religious people about their beliefs and mine. That helps me sort out the people who really believe from the ones who believe their own self serving version of their religion. I have found that asking some good questions and their answers help me sort them out. If their answer is I don't know I need to read that section of the bible more, than I know that they are truly seeking answers to the unknown and probably someday come to the conclusion thats its all bullshit in their own time after enough study. If on the other hand they respond with a question of their own without answering the one I posed than It becomes evident that they are just using religion as a nice warm blanket to wrap themselves in to confirm their own desires and wants by claiming their invisible friend in the sky wants things to be their way. This second group will never disavow their religion because they use it to justify every thing they want weather its evil or not as long as its self serving.
Thank you for continuing with this, I understand this work can be frustrating but is of great importance where you are.
You have a good approach & attitude. Look up at the mountain!
Reminded someone that Buddhism isn't a religion.
It's a reasonable facsimile.
@Atheist3 Secular Buddhism is no more a religion than Atheism.
@Markoutdoors Secular Buddihism? What the hell is that?
I live my life by my own convictions, if some notices my actions and ask me why, I tell them. If I'm not asked then I say nothing. I lead by example, if that's not good enough then there is nothing more one can do, except to be like one those that try to cram things down thier throats.
I'm not one of them.
Thank you.
What ya see is what ya get! I'm all for that.
I hit a Devil Duckie with Gamma radiation. An example of the pinnacle of human achievement, furthering the wisdom and knowledge of humanity!
Floats my boat!
Well it all started in 1993 with an anti nazi league rally. I’ve been campaigning and attempting to educate and be helpful all my life unfortunately educating alone isn’t enough, but I believe that, despite the clowns we seem to have in some very important public positions, we’re moving in the right direction
Thx for your voice.
Nothing. You can't blame me for it.
