That is why I am a Born-Again Atheist. I was born as an atheist, recovered from the religious programming as a teen bh thinking that through, and so was born again as an atheist. Hallelujah!

I support learning about and appreciating ancient wisdom. But devotion to irrational beliefs that you allow to rule your life, that were written 1500-2000+ years ago (e.g. Judeo-Christian Bible, aka Goat Herders Guide to the Galaxy, or the Koran) is manifestly unhealthy for society.

I was born with the capacity for rational thought. I was raised in a Christian/Catholic home, school and community. In my teens I thought about it myself and saw religion as flawed thinking. That is when I became a born-again atheist. That freedom feels great!

The institutionalized abuse of children in teaching them this religious belief still shocks me after decades. Unquestioned, uncritical belief in a collection of writings from thousands of years ago that causes a parent to inculcate those beliefs in their own children is, to me, indefensible.

Truly hard to keep up.

Narratives & emphasis are shifting so quickly as the current ruling class has to keep switching up what they are pitching or hiding from us. That juggling is getting more and more difficult to maintain. Mixing metaphors, their house of cards is collapsing.

Yea!

Is faith belief without evidence?

I am pleased to be a Born Again Atheist. As a teen, I woke up.

Oops, did I just say I was woke?

Fuck yes I am! I think real history is real evidence. It is what makes me woke. As in "I woke the fuck up".

Nice. I say that even as someone who stopped eating animals in the 1970's.

But fuck the judgment about choosing the apple in the first place. My life doesn't revolve around someone else's fantasy beliefs.

As if.

Sex can be a wonderful thing. So fun. So exciting. So healthy. Did I mention fun?

It is a good and healthy part of me as a living animal. But it doesn't define me.

Sex & love can be connected. But calling it "making love" when you "have sex" severely undervalues love. IMO.

I know, right? Look, I get that people who have been only/mostly exposed to right-wing (etc.) views literally can't think well. But many MAGA followers, & other, worse, right-wing zealots who only use Trump as a tool, can think. And many "independents" need to think now. No more excuses.

So much the better. Releasing and acting on the Epstein-Trump files can be a solid avenue to more thoroughly clean house and expose horribly and obviously immoral behavior.

Please stop holding back, and tell us what you really think!

Seriously, thank you for helping to take out the trash. I realize that this metaphor is an unfair knock on trash, but I can live with that.

Excellent advice. Very wise.

Even good causes can eventually sound stale and be ignored. People hear but do not listen anymore.

This is the "on-the-knife's-edge" turning point year. We have to keep it fresh this Spring, Sumner and Fall.

Always loved that, now even more true. They also buy elections to keep them insulated from consequences. Or so they think.

But today I am choosing to feel hopeful, focusing on this classic tune from Bob Dylan.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Hypocrisy at its worst.

Definitionally, the first is true.

Functionally, the second is true.

๐Ÿคฃ But, too kind to refer to the Abrahamic god as merely a knucklehead. That mythical god has wreaked, through billions of humans who carry his water, so much savagery & pain on "non-believers".

But worse is the degradation such belief causes to the promotion of rational thinking as beneficial.

At almost 72, & as a student of politics & culture since the 60's, I always felt revulsion for the characters portrayed in these & other anti-war songs, books (1984 anybody?) & movies.

But I find that the real thing, as embodied by Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, & spineless legislators, is far, far worse.
