Can't speak for everyone because everyone has a different set of boundaries. Personally, I don't even like it when someone stands within three feet of me. Forget being all touchy-feely around me.
For me, friendship isn't about physical proximity, it's about intellectual compatibility.
Logic shows that evidence does not point to a god. Just as the religious look at the universe as proof of a god, we can look at a forest fire and conclude that it is NOT proof of an arsonist. The fire could have been started by lightning, or by kids playing with matches, but didn't intend on...
For me, it depends on the views.
I'm getting on in years. Whether I die tomorrow or ten years from now, I feel like I'm leaving my children and their children a world that is quickly spiraling down into madness.
Governments have become rabid dogs pulling on their chains, eager to attack each...
Yeah, they are not the problem. The problem is there was never a cap placed on earnings. An economy is supposed to be about the circulation of currency so that everyone can buy what they need, ensuring that no one goes without.
No one should be able to earn or hold more than a million a year...
Massachusetts here. The Boston Red Sox is a privately owned baseball team of players from around the world. The players are grown men competing to try to hit a round object with a stick.
There is NOTHING Massachusetts or Boston about this team, and if the owners wished it they could move the...
I want to tell you something that may sound negative, but it really REALLY isn't. A friend of yours has an apartment that has dog poop in every room. Dishes have been in the sink for so long that mold is growing on them. The trash is overflowing, and fleas are flying everywhere. The dust in the...
Without knowing exactly what you want to teach him, we really can't say too much. So, please allow me to take the brainwashing of a child to the extreme. We just don't know how a young mind will process the idea of a god. He/she may think in ways that are downright dangerous. Things like:
God...
If straight comedians can come with gay jokes, how come gay comedians can't come up with straight jokes?
I once knew a guy that was so straight he...? I got nothin' either. :shrug:
Would the terrorists have flown the planes into the World Trade Center if they didn't believe in a god and a reward in heaven?
So, yes, it really does matter.
Atheists can do bad things for many reasons.
The religious can do bad things for many reasons, PLUS one more reason (believing they...
Have to make this clear. I'm speaking only of the biblical god of the three monotheistic religions. In order to believe in this entity I would need to see an amputee ( a devout Christian, Muslim, or Jew, doesn't matter which) miraculously grow an arm back. Or a leg.
The aim is to teach every individual that they are flawed and unintelligent, and must trust every decision handed down by the leaders of their perspective religions.
It's not a matter of control, but of information. It's only been the last few years that I was informed that the moon orbits the earth once every 28 days. I thought it was once a day. I was grateful for this information because I don't like living with lies in my head. So, if we can clear up...
As citizens of this planet there are certain responsibilities we are required to perform to show that we care. Such as, picking up the trash in our neighborhoods, helping those in times of need, and making sure that popular ideals don't get confused to the point where people go overboard with...
