Hello fellow freethinker! I appreciate your insight and I have held the same conclusions as well. It seems I might be more comfortable with those characters as personifications of people that didn’t exist. Now that I have typed that sentence, I’m feeling like defaulting to, “I have no Idea, I wasn’t there, and I don’t…

Hello there! I appreciate your insight. I can see where you are coming from and I feel grateful that you have added an element to this concept. Thank you for your time! :)

Hello there, I appreciate your response. Thank you for sharing your perspective, I have a friend who approaches his parents beliefs in a similar way. I think I am enjoying the blending of concepts; separating ideas, for me, seem to reduce compassion and connection. I work with a couple Mormons, and I think they are…

I appreciate your response. I don’t know about ‘right’, I was curious about your thoughts. I feel sad thinking of your loss, and I understand how time and experience alters our perception. Thank you for your time! :)

Hello friend, I was under the impression that there happened to be a difference between agnostic and atheist. Do you consider them interchangeable?

I understand how one might come to that conclusion. Based on that premise, I meant something to her for 5 years and a few months, and meant nothing to her for a couple months. If anyone is in a committed relationship with another for about 1,900 days consecutively, and not committed for about 100 days, then one could…

Could it be both?

I appreciate our conversation.

You can feel however you need to about hearing of his infidelity.

I was your 400th star, can I go to the Mushroom kingdom now...?

I throuoghly enjoyed that, becasue I heard it in that intense raspy-begger-prophet voice of that dude! Great post! (FWIW, I don’t prefer that Jones guy)

I simply love spending time with my wife. Mine dosen’t share all of my hobbies, ironically–we have the same degree from the same college, three years apart–my degree was one of the biggest challenges in my life and set me free by started my life; her degree was a thing that was easy to get and leave school to get it…

I think they feel like it.

I’m in the same boat, but my number-of-years is closer to 10, than 20. I have no desire to waste my time on somebody that isn’t my wife–she’s my favorite. I’m happy for you. :)

Can you feel different levels of compassion for his wife and child, him, and his fans?

I don’t like making errors as well, I beat myself up sometimes about my mistakes too.

I’m sorry you might feel unsuccessful, I believe you will be soon.

As a species, we automatically focus on negative experiences for self preservation. For example, people who act like jerks (people who act in a way we don’t want to be treated), people who drive dangerously (we want to be safe), dangerous weather (we don’t like our stability jeapordized), we reject the other (similar…

Haha! My wife and I have done this for a couple of years. We live in AZ, so the middle finger might inspire anger from anything from a gang member, a gun ‘enthusaist’, or break a Mormon’s heart.
