I can understand how you would come to the conclusion about me you suggest in the above quote, based on a 'surface' view of what I typed. I also love ...

An atheist amen to that!

We can hope brother! and maybe that's what humans are best at, when its the worst of times.
August 27, 2022 at 01:51
But I have only started my revelation to you. It's not via the angel Gabriel in a cave or via a burning bush or via some moving finger that wrote and ...

It's not the same as putting a dog down to end its suffering or employing euthanasia in the case of terminal humans who are suffering. Killing the pat...

Therefore choose life, so that thou mayest live! Thou and thy seed!
August 27, 2022 at 00:27
No, I made up the story of Orga, Qubit and HAL as I typed it and you know that! You are no fool Athena but you encounter suffering in people regularly...

:clap: :100: To suggest that the solution to human suffering is the non-existence of humans so that no contemplations regarding the value/injustice of...

I searched for some updates on Liz Parrish and found a few articles including the one below from Quora. I always like to find both sides of a claim, e...

No problem!
August 25, 2022 at 16:52
To me, depression, pessimism, anti-life thoughts etc are all just places to land if you don't choose the struggle of life. Your legacy is your purpose...
August 25, 2022 at 13:36
No, the oneupmanship game bores me. I assumed you knew all about Lilith and I was just looking for you to explain why you chose Eve instead of Lilith ...
August 24, 2022 at 20:34
It would have been easier if you had just stated this from the start Athena. If you are an agnostic then your position is perfectly reasonable. Agreed...
August 24, 2022 at 20:23
What?? Have you ever tried personally to perceive 'everything?' You do know that cannot be done, right? How do you define 'superior.' It is a complete...
August 24, 2022 at 19:36
You're welcome! We all have so much more to learn. As you learn more about god(s), perhaps you might also study atheism to a deeper level.
August 24, 2022 at 19:21
If you insist???? Really! So no matter how educated or enlightened you become, you cannot escape the attempted indoctrinations fired at you from your ...
August 24, 2022 at 19:17
Just a small aside! Did you forget about Adam's first wife, Lilith? Made from the same dirt/earth/clay that Adam was made from in that particular fabl...
August 24, 2022 at 16:31
I know what epistemology means and what it refers to. Another false claim! Where is your evidence that atheists refuse to engage (theorist? I assume y...
August 24, 2022 at 15:42
I accept that this is your interpretation of what is going on between us but it is certainly not mine. I have been in dialogue mode with you but if yo...

As a school teacher of 30+ years and before that, as a time served journeyman painter & decorator. I can confirm that my employers, parents of pupils,...

We do understand cause and effect. We also understand infinite regress arguments as a tool theists use to claim that a first cause god is therefore pr...

I disagree. Humanism is the foundation of democracy, same with civilisation regardless of geographical direction. Democracy is anti-autocracy, it is a...

I know people who imo match your description and I try my best to nudge now and again to see if they are interested in talking about it. But yeah, its...
August 23, 2022 at 20:17
I think your battle is with your own fickle approach. I am also disappointed but more bemused by your rather childish response quoted above. Nothing I...
August 23, 2022 at 20:03
Thank you for your kind words. I am also enjoying exchanging viewpoints with you. I recently had covid too and it is a miserable experience. I still (...
August 23, 2022 at 19:51
To me, these are all just pieces of the jigsaw. I think it will take a while yet before we get the first transhuman who lives for 1000 years. You migh...
August 23, 2022 at 18:41
:clap: and there is the legacy you will leave behind which may affect nobody, somebody, a few people, many people, most people in the world!

:rofl: What a brilliant new spelling and name for a supernatural god character in a fable for entertainment purposes only. WHALA! (VOILÀ !).

From wiki: Georges Henri Joseph Édouard Lemaître; 17 July 1894 – 20 June 1966) was a Belgian Catholic priest, theoretical physicist, mathematician, as...
August 23, 2022 at 17:23
I just don't see any great value in how you wish to roleplay with theism. You seem to want to give the god posits a chair at the table of discussion o...
August 23, 2022 at 17:16
Yes I have. I can only respond as an atheist. I cannot type for all atheists as they are a varied group. Can you give me an example of an atheistic st...
August 23, 2022 at 17:02
I don't think there is a great deal of difference between our social or political viewpoints. There have been many 'separators' that have been used to...

Good one! I also like 'out of little acorns, big oak trees grow.'
August 23, 2022 at 15:15
You have fully explained your intended emphasis with The small contributions I make are not and never will be enough but I do claim that I help more t...
August 23, 2022 at 15:12
Ok, thanks for improving the clarity of your point. Overall, I will declare my bet safe and I will not have to cut down on all my favourites this mont...

Then I hope you never gain any position of authority Javi. I am glad Senna is a leader and you are not, but I hope one day you dance, dance, dance fre...
August 23, 2022 at 11:45
Ok I see. I actually think the 'betrayal of trust' is more apt for you words: They did betray their own religions as all three of them claim to be rel...
August 23, 2022 at 11:37
Are you typing that you would have fought for the Japanese in WWII? Or merely that you advocate for a society which promotes ?
August 23, 2022 at 11:30
Bushido has been misused as well, consider the statement below: In the lead-up to World War II, and throughout the war, the Japanese government pushed...
August 23, 2022 at 11:17
Never forget how to dance Javi, that path leads towards the anti-life people. Dancing freely (even if you are not great at it) should be a joyous act,...

Then finding such out should be the main priority of such people and until they do have a strong idea of who they are and what they want they must hop...
August 23, 2022 at 10:59
No, not even near it. Displaying honesty in who you are involves deciding to dance at a private party if you want to as a human right when you have ju...
