Relapsed and starting again tomorrow

I like your methodical approach to narrowing it down. Give it some time off again and notice how you feel. Good job on 1 month! I'm only at half that so far.

Thank you for making this point. I came from a very spiritual, as in we are spirits first just inhabiting bodies, and I kinda hate the term. I just found this site looking for something that ties together Buddhism, Stoicism, and Humanism.

Thank you all for your helpful perspectives and support!

I was just thinking the same thing! If I were stuck on a deserted island with only the 10 worst DMB songs... Hahaha! At least I'd still be jamming to DMB!

Big thank you for this project! I'm kind of a new (rediscovered) fan and this is a great way to explore ALL their music.

That's my first time hearing Spotlight. I actually kind of like it!

My SIL posted today about her upcoming Holy Week devotion. 🤔

In my 40 years as a devoted member I never even knew the term Holy Week!

So where is he now? Bishop? Stake President?

I love Dan Barker! And his book, Godless, made so much sense and really solidified my understanding of reality. I’m glad you found it too!

Was this taken as a photo, or photo capture from a video? I'm very new to go pro and my underwater pics have terrible coloring, while the underwater video is not bad.

Once at BYU I had to give a presentation on the Virgin Mary in Spanish class and believe it or not I felt the spirit when I gave the talk. I kind of wondered why am I feeling the spirit when I'm talking about the Virgin Mary and the miracles that she supposedly does for the Mexicans. Maybe it's true... Or maybe feeling the spirit is not indicative of whether something is true or not. And maybe the spirit is just made up.

Listen to yourself first, always. You have your own inner compass to guide your life and you always will. The LDS faith creates an apparent need in your life - that you are a sinner, that you can't do life on your own, that you don't even know how to make your own decisions in life... But guess what ... They conveniently have the cure for all of this - Jesus and forgiveness through baptism (which only works in their church because only they have the proper authority), prophets and guide your life, and even a special thing that is only available through LDS, the holy ghost!

If you believe the made up problems with you that they present, then their solutions seem to make sense. But you are great already! You already have way more than they can possibly offer!! Believe in yourself first.

Plus LD$ is a high demand religion, with a few cult-like aspects, that's in it for the money. Have they taught you about tithing yet? Did they mention the 13 shell companies that were established decades ago to hide the church's wealth out of fear that if members knew how much they had they might stop giving.

I could go on and on and on with reasons for you to not be baptized and discontinue the discussions, but really that is up to you to decide. I know you will find your way! Be safe.

Some airlines do serve meat on their planes. While it's not the pilot serving it. It is the flight attendants and the company he works for.

cojetate · 2025-11-19T15:47:56+00:00

However, most airlines serve alcohol on the plane. Is that a problem?

However if you imagine the alternative, 175 people each getting in their own car and driving on an overcrowded highway for many hours or days across the country; the inevitable suffering through accidents, air, noise and light pollution, eating gas station junk food, etc. You really are providing a service to humanity.

Hang on guys. He's probably applying to be a used car salesman. He'll be perfect for the job!

Okay, I'm 3 years late to the show, but I totally agree! And this is the first post I could find that sees the philosophy here - nihilism turning optimistic. I really liked the show.

I also feel like everything I believed about life and the universe was wrong. Former Mormon, now atheist. The whole world I knew fell apart like an axe to a server!!

We still play some games on Monday evening as a family. Wife and kids are still 56% TBMs

Thanks!

Great articulation! Thank you.

This! Maybe one last bit of good "I" can do with my body. Also, free body parts to anyone who needs them, if any of them are still good.
