So what you’re now admitting is that religions are not based on a text. Funny how easy it was to make you admit you’re earlier argument was beyond stupid.

So you’re saying Judaism wasnt a religion prior to the Torah. Chritianity wasn’t a religion until the Bible got nailed down. Okay then. You’re wrong, but you do seem to revel in your super prescriptive views of how others are supposed to relate to their religions and texts. Non-assholes usually understand religion is…

You have a kind of interesting view of religion. Religion exists before sacred texts are written down (and codified), yet religion is based on the text. Come again?

My point is that if a religion predates it’s a religious text, the religion isn’t based on the text.

You don’t really seem to get that religious texts are open to interpretation, do you? For an atheist, you’re really wed to the orthodoxy, which is super weird.

Only the dumbest person would have read the above and thought it meant the religion is accepting of gays or empowers women. Stop making stuff up to suit your anger. Or are you really that dumb? Anyone would half a brain would understand the *writer* is accepting of gays and wants empowerment for women, and fully…

You really kind of have a simplistic understanding of religion and the beliefs of others. Religious belief isn’t about being “rational.” It’s belief without evidence. That’s what faith is.

Yeah, calling someone who interprets her religious texts in a way you don’t think she should idiotic and weak-minded is not at all being an asshole. Just stop being as asshole.

ETA: It’s funny to see you walking back your earlier statements.

He’s not talking about taking calls. He’s talking about email. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for say an IT administrator who needs to be on call if there’s a problem with a server in Europe to go to a concert. Or a doctor.

I actually didn’t.

And you’re wrong about that. Someone who rejects religious text is not necessarily an atheist. An atheist is someone who doesn’t believe in a deity, not someone who thinks religious texts are dumb or loathsome or the product of people. I don’t know what you find so hard about understanding that rejecting a particular…

An atheist is someone who doesn’t believe in a deity. It’s that simple. I don’t know why you insist on making something so simple so complex.

You are a horribly intolerant person on this subject. You are disrespectful, judgmental, condescending, and fail to understand what the word atheist actually means.

So what you’re saying is that your life isn’t so hectic that you need to check your email at all times, but only the times you are on call.

If whatever you have going on in your life requires you to check your email constantly, you really don’t have the time for concerts, comedy shows, dinner with friends, movies, etc.

Nonsense. You are telling people what to do, and very wrongly passing judgment. You are also attempting to redefine the meaning of the word atheist, and criticizing anyone who doesn’t accept your entirely incorrect understanding of the word.

maybe if *you* reject the premise, *you* reject the text. It’s certainly not your place to tell anyone else that if they don’t believe in god they aren’t allowed to take anything or see value in religious texts. You’re being an asshole here, so just stop.

sweat doesn’t smell, it’s the sweat + bacteria + oil that smells. So, when I sweat on my forearm, it never smells like when my arm pits sweats.

Also, 40-something-sweaty me smells a lot worse than 20-something-sweaty me.

I used to be like this. Especially when my workout was just weight training. In the last couple of years though, I’ve started to really stink when I sweat, and I no longer do weight training that doesn’t make me sweat — I’ve switched over to doing circuits with weights and working up a good heart rate.

do you use fabric softener? (If so, that might be the problem).
