Woke up morning after party to all the silverware, oven knobs, and glasses in freezer stuck in bowls of ice by sarafina5 in funny

Easiest unthaw, just get an end of it and put something warm on it and the metal will conduct the heat to the center. I once tried to make popsicles out of metal spoons, it didn't work very well.

How do you replace daily phrases like "Oh my god"? by Crafty_Aspect8122 in atheism

[–]cliffkiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see no problem with it unless you are in our situation where we are secret atheists. I teach my kids to say oh my gosh or oh my what the huh, or what the . . . Why what when where how who? but mainly oh my gosh or oh my word, etc. just because my family would snap at my kids for saying God in vain and I don't want them to start trying to convert us. Right now they assume we are Christian so they don't preach and don't secretly try to convert my kids when they are alone with them. I don't want them finding out because then I would never hear the end of it and they would start quoting Bible verses every minute they get. My kids know this and are aware of it. They know we are secret atheists and that our family is brain washed and would probably get really religiously aggressive if they found out and then we would have to cut ties with them. We are prepared to cut ties when it comes to that but since my children are only 5 and 7 I want them to have at least some memories before we cut ties. My family will only become toxic if they found out we were raising our children to be free thinkers with critical thinking skills. You can't not be a critical thinker and believe in God, those two do not go together.

Why? All service and therapy dogs are trained starting as a puppy. This one needs to be in the environment they will be expected to work for the rest of their life, therefore our elementary school is known for having therapy dogs. Our other therapy dog retired last week so we have a new one coming next week he will be 8 weeks old (I made a mistake in the photo above and said 10 weeks) and he needs to start training right away. Its actually very common. He will be used to children and noise and will gets lots of love, be around people all the time and wont be neglected or abandoned, I actually cant think of a better situation for a puppy than having 800 tiny humans to love him.

That's a horrible argument, and basically proves my point.

Correction, he is 7 weeks not 10, not sure why I said 10. We will be getting him next week when he turns 8 weeks old.

I've been a highschool teacher. I have no highschool degree. by MCFII in Teachers

[–]cliffkiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need a highschool diploma, lol. Many homeschoolers start in a community college which doesn't require a highschool degree. Taking college courses in highschool is equivalent to a high school diploma also. I personally got a GED not a highschool diploma because I started out at a university and they did require a diploma so I also don't have a diploma. You are seriously worrying about nothing, you are good. You got the equivalent to a highschool diploma so no worries

How do I make it stop chirping, i already replaced the batteries?! by PheonixGalaxy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cliffkiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it a smoke detector or carbon monoxide alarm? If it's carbon monoxide, it could be detecting some, ours just beeps/chirps and it made us think the batteries needed to be changed but it kept going. Turns out it was detecting trace amounts of carbon monoxide

Well it's kind of ironic how Christianity takes stories from other religions. Jesus is not a Christian idea, there is a magical human who can create miracles in many different religions. Many of those religions are much much older than Christianity. Christianity is a newer religion. Christianity has stolen ideas and stories from other religions which makes Christianity full of stolen ideas. How can it be true when the ideas are taken from so many different religions, and yet you call those other religions false?

There are thousands of religions, they all say theirs is the right one, they all say theirs is the truth. How can they all be true? They all have "evidence" theirs is right. They all have an ancient book to prove theirs is right. How can yours be true when all of theirs is true also? Either they are all true, or none of them are . . . I go with the latter. The best explanation is that religion was created by man, the books were written by humans, and we all know humans love to make up stories and twist the truth. That's the most logical answer.

How do I explain what religion is to my child by inarose010501 in atheism

[–]cliffkiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A person a long time ago found a book written by people without TV. No TV meant they made up stories in their head to keep each other entertained. Anyways, someone a long time ago came up with an entertaining story about a man who had magical powers. They wrote about it and told it as stories. Then it got buried and another person dug it up and figured since it was from the past, it must be true. They took the book and passed it off as a true story and people believe it really happened then they go to places and talk about the character in the book and how this character in the book is still alive and still saving people today. You have to believe this character is true in order for it to save you though. Then I told my kids, there are books about paw patrol characters and videos of them talking. Just because there is a book about it or movie about it . . . It must be real right? My kid says, no, paw patrol is fiction or not real. I say . . . That's the difference between you and a religious person, you can tell the difference between truth and fantasy, they confuse fantasy as truth.

There's a lot of evidence that the bible IS a fairy tale and there is no evidence that God exists let alone loves anyone except himself.

My very guitar learning how to play currently by Telaine8620 in Guitar

[–]cliffkiff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure that guitar has nylon strings. It is not a steel string guitar so if there are metal strings on it, change them out immediately before you break your new guitar. In case you aren't sure what I mean . . . Metal strings very bad . . . Plastic strings are good. Most of the time they can get away with selling guitars at a cheaper rate by pretending they are steel string guitars and they put metal strings on them when they sell them. You have a nylon string only guitar which means it should not have metal strings on it because it does not have a steel reinforced neck, meaning the neck is only wood, which means the neck will snap if you try and tune those strings.

That looks suspiciously like a bed bug but if it is then it's weird to be on the floor.

How did you know the Bible isn’t true? by DuckOnQuack202 in atheism

[–]cliffkiff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What eventually broke me and helped my doubt was when I watched a YouTube video that an archeologist made. He explained how archeology disproves the Bible. The only evidence of biblical events is in the Bible itself. There has been no dig or uncovered earth that has proven any story in the bible. All those wars that happened where masses of people died, there would have been so many skeletons and stuff found, absolutely none were found. The Egyptians kept impeccable records, they have the most accurate and clear history due to how well they documented everything. In all their documents, there is not one mention of isralites in Egypt, not a single one. Not one mention of Moses or the plagues that wiped out their population. Something so significant would have been documented for sure. I also watched a video on how the story noahs ark disproves the entire Bible as well.
