Re: Annual Religious Thread

I guess a lot of it is about how you view time. Death does not wipe you from existence. Time is just another dimension. The me writing this is just as much part of the universe as the me walking through the woods yesterday afternoon or the me eating a curry this evening. There's a little bit of unc...

Re: Annual Religious Thread

I do not believe the universe has an intelligent creator. This does not bother me in the slightest. I fear death, because I am sure nothing comes after it. I turn that fear into a positive, to the greatest extent I can, by trying to ensure I appreciate, and show appreciation for, the things which p...

Re: Annual Religious Thread

Existential dread? You mean, like, fear of death? I think it's more the "nothing matters, everything is meaningless" or "the universe can only be an accident" type thinking. I often hear them talk about how being a blip in the universe that is nothing more than an accident is troubling. Curious... ...

Re: Annual Religious Thread

If you would like other insights into how it is possible to have a happy and fulfilling social life without the assistance of Jesus, do let me know. I fully believe you're having a good social life and that makes me happy to hear. I do think it's possible, it's just a lot harder for some people (es...

Re: Annual Religious Thread

I think I made a couple over the years, but probably good to start fresh. We all develop and grow every year so I suspect we've evolved our beliefs since previous threads too. One thing I've recently discovered is how quickly the New Atheist movement died out. Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens,...

Re: Annual Religious Thread

I don't think it's that weird for a straight person to never have been at a gay bar. How often do gay people go to straight bars? But I like to think I have a diverse group of friends. I know Mennonites, Baptists, Catholics, Methodists, a lot of Reformed people (who are basically the Christian versi...

Re: Annual Religious Thread

Society is perpetually collapsing. But invariably it doesn't, and as "something not collapsing" is fundamentally uninteresting history invariably forgets how near to collapse things may have felt at the time. Religion is always changing, with fashions coming and going over the years. I personally m...

Re: Medical Experts

I can show you another report from an equally qualified source saying that is wrong and it likely originated from natural causes jumping from an animal species like others in the past. It isn't obvious and the truth may never be known due to China's blocking of early research to find the source. As...

Re: There's Something Queer Going on in the LGBT Movement

Source for this claim? It's men dressing as women in exaggerated sexual ways isn't it? If there's another component to it I'm interest in learning It's a creative form of self-expression and entertainment. There's nothing pornographic about a drag queen's act or persona. Do you object to traditiona...

Re: There's Something Queer Going on in the LGBT Movement

I know a couple women who are offended by drag shows viewing it as men mocking their gender, but I was just curious if it was just a them problem or if it was a bigger thing. I added the lol because it was an awkward question.

Re: There's Something Queer Going on in the LGBT Movement

One thing that's always confused me is Drag Queen Story Time. That seems a little sketchy to me since their whole point is sexualization.
Granted I think the point of Drag Queens go completely over my head. Is it like Wrestling but for gay people?
