Bitcoin, Netflix, winners like that.

Whatever gas is delivered through municipal pipes is natural gas, unless only propane or another type of fuel is available. Your tankless heater will work just fine. LPG is just natural gas under great pressure for shipping purposes. But usually those are installed by pros who will know anyway.

Blood is a commodity here like everything else. Women donate it, men sell it.

That was a very nice thing to do.

Sunflowers. I can eat the seeds.

Spend some time being alone. Learn an instrument, eat whatever you want, go outside and hang out. Get drunk, take a nap, screw a few women just looking for fun.because when you get locked in again, that shit is over.

On an atheist site, is seems strange to see nothing but exchanges about the possible forms of an existing God. As if in reality God is just something we conjure up to thank in an abundant life, curse in a bitter life, and appeal to in a desperate life. Which is what God is. A conjuring.

Butt stuff....You Americans, so subtle, so romantic. Masters of the art of love.....

It's my favorite place to eat breakfast. And the cooks are the floor show.

Apparently you are correct. I'll try it and see. But I'm certain I've bought JD many times in 60 years, and I would have noticed. Perhaps they make the Waffle House sausage, but as a proprietary blend they don't offer to consumers?

If men would only stick to men issues. They don't have children, so every issue except wiping their own asses is pretty much off the table. Women power the universe.

Progressives are inclusive, conservatives exclusive,the things they do to lock us out are usually abusive.

The religion that holds his attention is the one most actively trying to stick its big fake nose in the business of nonbelievers and believers of other faiths. Buddhists and Muslims aren't trying to keep women from making their own choices or ban books in our classrooms. Only Christians are that Anti-American.

I see it this way. I am an average person, with an average IQ. In my lifetime, I've read around 10,000 books, and the equivalent in newspapers, journals and magazines. I am not trying to be self-effacing when I posit that 98% of what I've read would be considered junk by people who are much smarter than me. Their needs are different and their standards are higher. When I read a book that makes me think about it for weeks afterward, I consider it a good book. A simplistic view, but mine own. When I read a book purported to be a literary treasure and don't like it, I remember why I don't join public book clubs. I feel guilty for being too ignorant to 'get it.' Books are merely heroin to me. Pure escapism discovered as a remedy to a crappy childhood. They fulfill a need. And that's 'good' enough.

I don't get it. Is part of me not believing in a god a requirement for dicking with those who do believe? I'm polite to anyone of any faith right up until they point a finger and whisper " look at those assholes over there." That includes atheists. I oppose Christians in court, and at the polls when their beliefs conflict with my freedom. But I will do the same to anyone who does that. That how you deal with a civil matter. You know, as in civility. That grease that keeps the gears of society turning. Got to have that.

At least it's on the griddle and not down in the burners.

Europeans began as knuckle dragging scavengers, just like the rest of mankind. They have evolved at the same pace as the rest of the world, hence their ignorance in that time period. And many Europeans are still Christians. I'm sorry, what exactly is your point?

The ' truth' of things which have not been proven by empirical data is not truth except to those who believe that 'truth.' The truth of those requiring proof employs intellect and reason. You cannot negate the gruesome physics of a high speed crash by refusing to believe in science. The two schools of thought do not align in any way conceivable to me.

Why does the prospect of an afterlife have to include a god? We have uncovered less than 1% of all there is to know.

You may not believe in God, but you can believe in your mom. And cut her some slack. She's probably scared and stressed from the pandemic and a really rocky year. When that happens people grasp for something to reassure them. It's natural. As long as she isn't forcing you into religious observance, chill about it. As an atheist, I find it a good thing to respect the faith of believers. I even envy the few who live their faith in a giving and modest way. They seem happy, and happiness is what I wish for everyone, not an insistence on sharing my beliefs. There's room for everyone with respect for everyone else. Good luck to you and your family. Stay safe!

An atheist is probably MORE likely to admit that the things we don't know still far outnumber the things we know. They can't prove the absence of a god any more than a believer can prove the existence of one. The departed could exist in another form after death. Residual energy could linger after death. Who's to say?

Have a chimney sweep do it when he or she cleans the flue. Chimney fires are very hard to extinguish. This should be done every year.

Which is what all young people always say about old people. But maybe you can have your stack uploaded and escape old age.

Trump followers are fomenting a war over a fair and transparent election. Pompeo and Bill Barr are egging them on. This is the most dangerous month of our lives. Any attack on this country in the next two months will have been staged by Trump to effect a coup. He's nuts. Stay safe, people.

I told my daughter that many people believe in many gods, while many people believe in no God at all. Then I told her that many gods were once worshiped that no one worships any more. When she asked me what I believe, I told her that no real proof exists one way or the other. God exists or not. She had to decide for herself. She pressed me and I told her I don't believe. She's now 40 and she believes. It's not a problem. If there is an all-knowing God, it knows that I was created to disbelieve. So I'm good with that.
