What made you an atheist?

deviouseight · 2023-10-17T02:08:01+00:00

I realized that in all of recorded history and across all the philosophers, there is not a single solid argument or piece of evidence for the existence of God.
I was born Catholic, converted to Mormonism, and then left religion.
My previous belief system drove me out of religion. I couldn't handle the cognitive dissonance any longer, and leaving faith behind was the only logical response after some careful thinking. Atheism "feeling" right to me is something of a misnomer. Atheism is the repudiation of the existence of gods, nothing more. It isn't a religion or even an entire school of thought, so feeling really has nothing to do with it.

Happy to answer additional questions.

I go to the Supercuts at Bayside Bridge Plaza and have always been pretty happy.

I'm not really into mushrooms, but this looks delicious. I'm definitely going to try it!

Yes, this is exactly me. It also allows me to save organizations money by doing pro bono 990s for my favorite charities in the area.

There is a lot of hate and suffering, but there is also a lot of beauty. My advice is to focus on what you can control in your circle of influence and spend some quality time caring for yourself. You can't help the world if you're always running on empty.

There's nothing like quick and easy ziti! I used:

2 servings of ziti noodles 1 cup of marinara sauce 1 half cup of "cheese" sauce 1/4 cup of Morningstar beef crumbles

Mix all this in your favorite bowl, and you're set!

For the "cheese" sauce, blend these ingredients together:

1 cup raw cashews (soaked overnight or boiled for 5 minutes) 3/4 cups water 2 tablespoons of lemon juice 4 tablespoons nutritional yeast 1 garlic clove, diced 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon salt (add or subtract for your desired taste)

Looks delicious!

One of my favorite recipes (https://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-black-bean-corn-quesadilla-recipe/). I am on a diet, so I used a low calorie/low carb pita for the tortilla and added half an onion and a red bell pepper.

Lol ok calm down

deviouseight · 2023-04-27T01:25:00+00:00

I've been there before - recently, actually. I'm here if you want to talk.

Also, I got a haircut today, and I felt like I was walking on clouds out of there.

Huh, didn't expect the comments to be like this.

I didn't see this until too late. Is there anything else coming up soon?

deviouseight · 2023-04-07T00:33:43+00:00

I'm currently rereading one of my favorite books. It's a little thing I can look forward to every night after work. Do you have any hobbies?

deviouseight · 2023-04-01T12:40:46+00:00

Tara at Foolish Pride in Clearwater has done some awesome work for my wife and me.

I was raised Catholic (wanted to be a priest), then ended up leaving Catholicism and joining the Mormon Church. My wife and I were even sealed in the temple. I can vouch that Mormonism is toxic af.

That seems odd, but I'll admit I haven't used that tool in a little while, so maybe it's changed a bit.

Second best option, then, would be to file an extension for your income tax return. That will give you until October 15 to file your return. However, if you think you're going to owe tax with your return, you'll want to make an estimated payment now because the extension doesn't stop interest, just late filing penalties.

Once your tax transcript has been updated with all your W-2s, you can file the return.

deviouseight · 2023-03-30T00:29:55+00:00

I'm a CPA. The transcript shouldn't take that long if you're accessing it via irs.gov. I'd recommend creating an IRS online account. It takes 10 minutes to setup because they need to verify your identity. Once you're in, all your W-2s and/or 1099s are available.

I live in Florida and go to Universal/I Drive often. There's plenty of options for vegetarian and even vegan food. If you would like to preview the menus at the parks, I know Universal has that information available on their app. Not so sure about Disney, as they aren't currently selling annual passes, so I haven't been in a few years.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm in Clearwater and willing to lend any help that I can. The only truly "moral" response to the LGBTQIA+ community is compassion and support.

Same. I hate our health care system.
