OMG EXACTLY!!!!

You're right - saying "we're pregnant" has no bearing on fathering. However, it is inaccurate. We cannot be pregnant. We can have a baby, though!

Ah, now that is a cute little joke. I guess I didn't get it, lol.

Can you please tell me what "set of beliefs" comprises my atheism? People keep saying things like that but they never tell me what they are, nor have I ever heard an actual atheist list these beliefs we are supposed to have. Atheists don't believe in gods, usually simply because they've found no proof of one. …

Yet you say things like "having someone constantly shitting on your beliefs whenever the subject comes up" as if that's a given with atheists. Imagine if a I described all or even most Christians as negatively? Maybe you're not even aware of your biases and how it sneaks through your words.

Not inheriting ancient superstitions is not inheriting a "void". The supposed "lost" look could be discomfort in the face of everyone's insistence that you "have to" have a religion.

Yet, when I reported my cousin's video of cockfighting, and another video that appeared to show a man having sex with a frowning teenager with a caption along the lines of "See how this teacher punishes this student for lateness" (I say "appears" because I didn't watch it and immediately got it off my screen), they…

I don't even know what "Deal With It" is, so I can't speak on that.

I am an atheist, and have atheist and agnostic friends. What has happened to me is that the mere mention of my lack of belief sets off some people to become determined to debate me in a belittling, smug, and intolerable manner simply because I mentioned it. I also had a "friend" tell me that I was an atheist…

Ah, of course.

Where are these people hanging out to find all of these horrible atheists who are ruining their days? You do understand that most atheists aren't Richard Dawkins, right, and that you meet nice people all the time who you wouldn't know were atheists?

Why do people think that all atheists are into Richard Dawkins? There is no atheist required reading or people you have to listen to just to not believe in a god.

In my atheist experience, that doesn't happen much. What does happen is no matter how many times someone mentions their church or something that identifies them as Christian, atheists are not to speak about being atheist more than once every 1.5 years for fear of risking being accused of acting how you've described. …

I'm sorry. It's hurtful and illogical, but it's true. Yet people like to talk about how religion "brings people together". It sucks.

I must ask you: Do you actually personally know any atheists?

Guess that point sailed right over your head, huh? Or else you're purposely being a jerk. Jesus Christmas, please get a better hobby.

"Surely we can love the dogs not because of but in spite of their health issues, and make it clear that this is the case."

Um...I don't think that's what people who love pugs are doing. So.

My pug was obviously bred to have a longer face (or she lucked out in the accidental breeding of her parents), considering she does not have a flat one, has open nostrils, and doesn't have breathing problems. She used to jog with me with no problems when we were both younger. She'll be 14 in September and yes, she…

My brother has 3 brands. And a master's degree. He's a pain in the ass but very intelligent. He and his brothers network like WHOA.
