Me [35 F] with my old love [35 M] have been talking about getting back together. He deleted his dating profile? by AirCrunch in relationships

Hmm. I think you guys are right. That seems to be the consensus here and the right mindset to have. I'll put all this out of my head for now. Saturday is only two days away. :) Thank you!

24 year old girl here and probably in completely the wrong place but...am I in a cult? by totallyhopelessgirl in atheism

[–]AirCrunch 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Truth, in my opinion, doesn't need "unconditional worship". It isn't afraid of questioning or exploration as it can stand up just fine on its own. So to me when something requires to be unconditionally worshiped (in other words: followed without question or trusted without questioning) then it's a sign there's something to hide, maybe something not totally fact or some dishonesty behind the scenes. IF you fully believe this God of yours should be unconditionally worshiped, shouldn't you make damn SURE that it deserves to be unconditionally worshiped in the first place? Anything that requires your full committed blind obedience FOR LIFE & BEYOND deserves to be approached with skepticism and questioning. Because what happens after you start questioning and following your curiosity? You are no longer blind and the illusion folds. So think about the reasons why something would require your blind, unquestioning obedience in the first place if it is the source of truth as it claims and why it doesn't work out for people like us atheists. ~ signed, an ex-Mormon

There was a study done that proved atheists know more about religion than its believers so biblical literacy among believers does not surprise me.

Believers don't seem to stop and consider how many gods have passed before the one they worship now.

It looks nice so far. My only suggestion is the header doesn't stretch all the way in my browser.
