No dear,  we've all converted and making fun of the non believers. 
How are you doing? How is the young Tristan doing?

Hmmm...  Shoe, is that a reference to the fact that you eat babies as part of atheist celebrations or that you sacrifice babies to your God?

I am doing great.

Sir Tristan is a thriving, happy boy--just shy of 3 feet and over 30 pounds at a year and a half old.  He is pretty athletic--good sense of balance, insanely strong when he wants to grab my glasses.  He's a funny lil man, and I find that I enjoy doing things just the two of us best of all.  Sometimes I do something with someone whose company I do love, and I enjoy myself, but I find myself thinking how it would be with just Tristan and I.  lol

How are you, APA?  When are you coming to visit, huh?  Give me notice so I can clean the house...  A good 18 years or so should do it ;)

Really? I can come visit?  No shit?
I'll be on the next megabus if that's the case. 
I'd be tickled pink to meet the skamp. :biggrin:

The little skamp is what I meant to say.  My granddaughter is full of red hair and freckles too.. Oh knock it off.  Shoe's mean, but she aain't THAT mean.  That's my job being you live so close.

Yes! Still no evidence to the contrary. (http://i.imgur.com/1wwoUca.jpg) (http://imgur.com/1wwoUca)

What's a god?
Title: Re: Ya'all still Atheists?
Post by: Dreamer on June 02, 2014, 11:33:02 PM
You are a god. Me too. Or something like that. I have become comfortable living in the space inbetween. Just an irregular peace-loving hippie. I go to an independent church kinda like a UU Church. I don't believe in everything they do but I think they are good people who love me and my boy. And I enjoy the services-it's like an uplifting TED Talk about how to improve your life and welcome love and peace into your experience. But they also believe in spirit guides and whatnot. I've not had any experience or whatever with that and tell them so. It's an endeavor of nonjudgment and acceptance on my part-sometimes I am better at it than others.

I find I don't care to convince anyone what I believe which is a huge relief tbh. I think the compulsion stemmed from uncertainty and feelings of inadequacy. However, I still can't stand when people use their beliefs to defend their own biases. Using God or religion as a smokescreen for being hateful. I very much want to correct them. I think they are wrong. But I don't think resisting that will change them in any way-rather, being angered, frustrated, or saddened by that just will change me for the worse.

I no longer say I am an atheist*. If someone really wants me to give a name to my beliefs I go with spiritual or nondual.

When are you going to admit that you actually had sex with a bacchus looking real giant?

Confession: I Googled it. Lol

Maybe this will be the story I tell Tristan.

But maybe you are right. It would explain a lot of things.

Hi Dreamer.  Looks like June has pulled some of ladies back here, at least for a while. :)

Glad to hear you and your son are doing well, and that you are happy.  Sounds like you are comfortable with yourself and your life, can't ask for much more than that!

I'm not buying it unless we get pics of the fine young Tristan unless you immediately confess to eating him in which case even though we're baby eating atheists I'm calling the cops!


PS: Don't worry about my drunken logic. It's all about the children!

I'm a agnostic atheist and I see all religions as bullshit.

Alas, I have not been shackled in years--by crazed zealots or otherwise . . .

The otherwise is easy to arrange in my experience. This may be because I'm annoying.
Good to hear your doing good aside from your lack of being shackled ;)

Is there a story to this or you just spouting?
