Hello. Newbie here just trying to figure my way around this site. I have been getting depressed on Facebook with all the negativity and people thinking they can do and say whatever using religion as an excuse. It seems people who don’t have religion actually believe in making the world better since it’s the only one we have. I believe evangelicals are actually cheering for the end of the world to come quickly so they can go to that exclusive afterlife.
Welcome aboard and I completely agree with you.
I stay with facebook because I have many friends from all over the world who are beautiful and interesting. I like people and I don't reject them on account of their religion. I am a convinced and open atheist, and my friends know this. I accept them as they are and they accept me as I am. My page is a secular and peaceful place where no one tries to change the beliefs of others. I deplore the fact that many people are being mislead by religious teachings, but I am happy to see that most people remain normal because common sense sense prevails in them over religious crazyness. Also more and more people are becoming atheists. So there are no reasons to despair.
I wiped my fakebook too. I hope you find these conversations as entertaining as I have.
MOST people here are better than the masses on FB. But there are still d-bags. But they don’t need religion. They are just d-bags because they can be.
But this is still a relative fun place to be around. I enjoy it for the most part. Just block anyone who tried to be a troll and if they overstep, report them.
I have found the d-bags on this site are religious.
I believe you are right on all of your points, civility has gone the way of the Dodo Bird, the religious can't seem to wait for the apocalypse to arrive and common sense is a gift that is rare and seldom seen. Welcome to the group of most civil, sane and reasonable people that make up this site - we have a few nutters of our own just to keep things from getting boring.
One way to make FB a little less depressing... dump trumpbillies and probably news too. The cat pics are nice though.
Unfortunately that would mean dumping my family
