Actually, like many atheists, i am very supportive of efforts to keep any religion from "seeping" into govt any further than it already is. (Religion IS in bed with the US govt, btw) But it is not just christianity. Some legislators felt the need to try to pass some amendment or law stating Sharia Law could not overtake…

To the OP, i haven't even slogged through your second post yet. guess i can only read that kind of 'logic' in small increments. later. but one more before i log off, Atheist are typically the ones under attack. not the other way around. I can't speak for other atheists, and rather resent the way some teens on facebook are…

dawg, almost every line you wrote, Maril, i have a disagreement with. liek this one: Why? why are you against THIS freedom? And if something is on a billboard, it is now a "religion"??? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: so, Century 21 Realtors is a religion now?…

no, no they don't. I will readily admit, there ARE a few good ideas in the bible! but the overall vast bulk of the bible, is one horrific monstrous story, with ghastly morals!!! http://www.ebonmusings.org/atheism/atrocities.html Even the main characters leave much to be desired. Not really a lot to admire there, at all!…

can you name a conservative position on any issue that you feel "makes sense"?? /gets popcorn, cuz, i am betting you believe that rightwingers are better at budgets, but, the CBO disagrees. sorry, i should wait til you DO actually reply. or, you can skip it, as there is already so much going on in this thread. BIT I WILL…

nope, sorry, it's not. The original founders of the USA govt, were people running FROM the mix of govt into religion, and religion into govt. The pilgrims initially wanted zero mix of the two, at all, as they had seen how disastrous that ALWAYS becomes. always. True, over time, it did get messed up, but morality and…

Of the 435 elected officials in Washington, of those on the left, only one (1) is an atheist. And he is not a democrat. Over 99.9% of all democratic leaders in your govt, are also religious. Many of them very very much contribute to blurring the lines between church and state. WHERE do you get your info ?? Can you cite an…
-
btw, to the OP, sorry about your a$# is all chapped by people's freedom of speech. rofl. ironic, isn't it? Here you are, claiming to love freedoms, but only for YOUR point of view. See, that' isn't how freedom works. It's for everyone. Even atheists. I am just against public displays of the gods on govt (tax payer…

I AM BOTH!!!!! :bigsmile: I can't speak for anyone but myself about what THEIR atheism means to THEM, as we atheists are NOT a relgion, and although many of us do share commonalities, we have no dogma, no leader, no organization which encompasses all of our often diverse views. but, for me, Yes, i am an atheist, and yes, i…

says who? I am a liberal, and i do not "worship" the govt. I am for FAR MORE freedoms than most republicans or conservatives are. I do not want the govt burning or banning books, nor censoring history books, not rewriting them to suit their agenda. I do not want the govt shoving anyone's gods into my public places, my…

Have not yet read the other replies, only the OP remarks. Atheism is a religion the way bald is a hair color.......... Atheism is a religion the way abstinence is a sexual position. Yes, yes, i DO object to govt supported displays of any religion. I am for complete separation of church and state.

wow, that looks tasty and easy to make. Any idea how many calories that is ?
-
i suspect, this person might not have ever felt the awkwardness some of us do feel when we join in places where fitness IS the focus....... and no where in the post no where does it imply that ppl at gyms are only workouts (?). wha? but, if you have never been fat, never been stared at or snickered at for being fat, never…
-
woah, sorry this post hit you this way. Me, i'll take encouragement from anyone who offers it, be they fit or fat. I have felt the power of others egging me on. Yes, yes, i AM doing this for me, but, i am a human, and i am vulnerable to another person's kindness, and their encouragement. I DID understand the gist of the…

LOVED THIS.............there is a real heavy gal in our neighborhood, who i often see out there, every single day, rain or shine or snow, working it.....all she can do is walk, but, she is walking as fast as she can, swinging her arms, sweating and going for it, day after day.........the skinny ones run right by her, but,…

welllllllllllll, one second thought, there i'd be, with a whole platter of brownies, at over 100 calories for each and every one of them.......... i guess i better wait til i have my new habits going a bit stronger til i try a batch, come to think of it. lol, i am still working on staying under my calories for a day, still…
-
wow, your recipe really IS a lot simpler than the other black bean brownie recipes, way way simpler!!!! probably costs less, not sure, but, probably costs less to make these. some of the other BBB recipes i've read list 8 to 12 ingredients... and your recipe is slightly less calories, too. I saw a BBB recipe, which uses…

great idea for at thread! i will try those peppers, sounds tasty!! here is my favorite summertime veggie recipe, no oven involved, and only a few ingredients, tastier than it sounds, kind of fun to make, no attention is needed really, can visit around while it's cooking, it's fast to make, and is only about 80 calories per…

darn, entire words don't show, it reads "Magic is not necessary".(cuz world IS amazing enough as it is!! Reality IS amazing!) or i don't use atheist bumper stickers anymore, cuz i always end up with having my car "keyed".........and always when i can't afford a new paint job....Once, back in the 80s, i had someone carve…

ah, well, maybe you are not eating enough altogether, or maybe you are not eating enough carbs...? hope you DO get this figured out!! sounds really uncomfortable, feel bad for you. do log in your food diary, and maybe make notes in that lil section at the bottom, and track what days you feel jittery, and which days you…

btw, i don't especially get jitters, per se, nope.....but i do get a kind of a buzzy feeling, but it is pleasant, like Very energetic, almost like a little hum all over inside of me, if i do not eat over 1000 calories...........i am way more likely to exercise on those days, too, cuz i feel more energetic..... hard to…

How old are you? Jitters can be a sign of menopause, too. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/698917-new-to-group-morning-shivering but, if your jitters are new since you began diet, low blood sugar IS a good guess. Usually, blood sugars that are low enough to make one shake, also induce sweating, If you live in USA,…

One can work out with a child. You can even involve the child in some way, have child count, if your child is old enough to. Or have child draw a dot each time you sit up. Have child hold your feet during situps, make her feel very important for doing that for you, act like you "need" that help, or participate in some way.…

Yes, meet them first, in public, for the interview. If it is a job where you will be inside their home alone, it might be wise to ask THEM for some personal references who can vouch for these people. And offer them the same courtesy, have a list of references who can vouch for you, too. Ask the references how long, and how…

great question. I took nothing. at all. Maybe i should have, but, my family has huge risk of breast cancer, (it's a birthright in my family) so i am leery of anything hormonal, and skeptical of stuff the FDA hasn't approved (almost all over-the-counter items, anyone can sell anything and say whatever) and just as skeptical…
