THANKS! I have always loved a good comic, and i've collected atheist comics for years now, and have 100s of them by now...........lol, name a theist talking point, and it's a good chance, i have a comic about it...rofl!

i LOVE that analogy between Wizard of Oz and god, and all the remarks here, too. And the OP's remarks, too, great thread!!!:drinker: I myself, a lifelong "born again" atheist, don't always mind gods in movies. I love "It's a Wonderful Life" as a very feel-good movie, even though it involves angels etc, and i do not believe…

Who is the "you" in your 1st remark? ?? Yes, i have pals who describe this creative intent, and tell me when they meditate, they are "putting the intention out there". It's a lovely idea, but, absolutely zero evidence for this as effective in changing anything. I believe humans CAN " act conscientiously with good and kind…

To Masirahmo, i share your skepticism with any ground up plant sold over the counter as being "harmless". Not everything from nature is good for humans. Nature is chockful of poisons, toxins, venoms, irritants and items that can be harmful to our species. And not all bottles sold on shelves even contain what they say is in…

you know, i was thinking the other day, about my comparison to the disappointment of realizing there is no heaven to kids being told the party they were looking fwd to, is now cancelled, and i think that is good analogy. but, if one was never ever was distracted from enjoying the here and now with being told "the NEXT life…

for some variety, i think that pork is just as lean, if not leaner, than chicken. Getting a low calorie BBQ sauce, and throwing them in the oven, or on the grill, is 1 of many many easy ways to cook porkchops.

There is a diet bread i found, with only 35 calories per slice, it is called Healthy Life Diet 35-calorie high fiber bread, i found it at Walmart. and it comes in wheat or white. might help you make lower calorie sandwiches.

i think ppl who want a firmer BBBurger might be happier if they make SUPER THIN, VERY VERY FLAT CAKES............maybe THAT is the trick?? to avoid that "mushy-inside" thing..???

but i hope you are successful at getting off your BP meds, i can understand that urge in you, very much.:flowerforyou: Weirdly, i have very low BP, often about 90/50 at rest to about 120/70 if i am moving about...that's "high" for me. but, maybe if anyone checked my bp while i was really super super active (which i am NOT,…

OH YES, i SO UNDERSTAND about the passing out thing .....................it's a drag.:indifferent: i get very very dizzy, too, during certain of my arrythmias..............i usually do NOT just faint instantly, i usually DO get some symptoms prior to passing out, besides feeling my heart pounding away in my chest like a…

I will give these a try, the last version of BlackBean Burgers i made came out wayyyyyyyy tooo mushy.......and yes, i DID drain the beans very very well, still came out mushy. the recipe i tried before had different spices and seasonings than this one, but otherwise a lot the same............... my last BBB recipe i tried…

I am not sure what this cut and paste reply is about. HILARIOUS how you left out the civil rights act of the 60s, and so so many other democratically led (and opposed by republcans) legislation. LIke i've said repeatedly, todays republican party has gone so far to the extreme, that Ronald Regan, their patron saint who did…

is this reply to ME? i AM A VET, too. I am aware, as are most americans now, that soldiers do not choose where we go to war. but "Hating America", is NOT a valid reason to wage war. duh. btw, there's been a marked decrease in "hating america" with Obama, like hitting the 'reset' button around the world. Certainly, many…

OKAY, if no one asks questions, i will just take some of the ones i posted above, and answer them anyway. Other atheists welcome to add their replies, too! ^note, no one has asked this on this thread, i just added "quote" marks around it. SHORT ANSWER; "NO" LONG ANSWER: We atheists get this one a lot. Every atheist i know,…

OH my post is out of order, i am still replying to crapola the OP wrote on last page........sorry. btw, just quickly off top of my head, re Healthcare, the current ACA was originally a republican idea.:laugh: And it was modelled after Romneycare. If you don't like Obamacare, i wonder how you will rectify voting for…

this is true, as so many ppl also stated same thing.......... not sure what i was thinking, that i even needed butter! (?) it was delish, as it. so so true.

i made this recipe last night, was awesome, and very very much like my old 'red lobster style' recipe. THANK YOU!!

i finally made this recipe and wow, IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! THE OP IS RIGHT, THIS IS ONE AWESOME RECIPE!!! :love: make sure, that you DO watch that broccoli carefully though, at some point, it begins to cook/get done very rapidly, to DO taste/firmness tests along the way as you are cooking this. I got a bit distracted…

AW GEEZ, your cut and paste post is so overwhelmingly inaccurrate, and SO TYPICAL of the average misinformed fox news viewer, you've hit ALL their talking points, every one of 'em, but it's hard to even know where to start, on your mistaken impressions on economics, welfare, taxes, etc etc. Most everything you wrote, is so…

Healthcare The healthcare system in USA is horrifically corrupt, "for-profit" industry, and USA is far far behind any other industrialized nation in most measures of a healthy healthcare system, sliding in at 37th in some measures. You are already regulated by corporations who seek to make profit off your illnesses, deny…

false, illegal aliens DO pay taxes, on every purchase they make, as well as payroll taxes into programs that they themselves will never ever be able to benefit from. why do you think illegals do not pay any taxes? (cuz you watch Faux news) Immigration is a difficult and complex issue. I don't even recall this topic coming…

. I am against govt intrusion into this very very private matter. If YOU are against abortion, don't get one. Late term abortions are already regulated by the govt, duh. and there can be very heartbreaking, very valid reasons for a person to need a late term abortion. Sorry, it's NOT your decision. and there are only TWO…

IT'S HILARIOUS HOW RIGHTIWINGERS WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY HEAR!! It's true, if someone hears something over and over it begins to seem "true".........that's how we got religions in the first place. QUESTION EVERYTHING MARIL, especially if it is from a rightwingnut source or email fwd. THIS NEVER HAPPENED, MARIL. THIS IS…

THE HILARIOUS part of that whole debacle was, after filing complaints, several religious orgs discovered they HAD ALREADY been covering birth control for eons, but hadn't realized it!!d rofl. Birth control can be ordered to treat multiple medical conditions, and for a religious org, to cover viagra, but not the pill to…

^this remarks shows you do not have a good understanding of Ryan's proposed "Personhood" FEDERAL ammendment. Even the exxtremely conservative Mississippi voters found the state version of a personhood ammendment, ONCE THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS INVOLVED there, voted against it. do read up on the multiple types of birth…

ah, Maril, i see you are replying, i haven't yet even read all of your orginal reply, so i guess i will be behind. HOwever, i did skim your most recent reply, and note you are now calling me names, "idiot" etc. I have not even yet tackled the whole health care debate in a reply yet, but, i have much to say on that, which…

Interesting point of view for a guy who is for the party that wants to be Masters of The Uterus, ban some forms of birth control, and get really involved in cases like Terry Shiavo end of life care, and get between a woman and her doctor. I disagree that having some regulation to protect me from 'for-profit' insurance…

i agree with you, that sexual choices should not be an issue, yet, with one political party trying to keep gays oppressed, it IS an issue. i think the american voter has the right to know, that republicans are for oppressing gays. sorry, but i don't exactly understand what you mean by having it shoved in your face.(?) I…
