An article was posted on another site I frequent, where I'm the only vocal atheist on that site. In reading it, I couldn't help but think about organized religion, and how many people claim to be religious, even though their occupation involves many…Continue
About DPL ... don't worry if that sounds foreign, it's an acronym I made up

I think it is important to consider that religiosity, similar to human sexuality, is a function of two variables – genetics and religious environment. I have a theory regarding a human genetic “potential” for accepting the god concept, which in turn…Continue

Future commented on Jerry Wesner's blog post Atheism requires religion to prosper.
"The concept of atheism as a necessary movement is so strange at face value. Is aleprechaunism necessary? What about asantaism? Aunicornism? Atoothfairyism? Aflyingspaghettimonsterism? Unfortunately, there is one ridiculism that does need to be…"

"Also don't look for those gasoline taxes to provide infrastructure improvements not tethered to some kind of public private partnership (P3). Trump will be pushing for handcuffing infrastructure to profits for the 0.1 percent that have the…"
Future replied to Wayne Philips's discussion Great Audio book of the Bible read by an Atheist?
"Try Good Book, by David Plotz. Though he's Jewish, the book is very critical of the Bible and hilarious. I can't find the audiobook for purchase outright, but it is available at Amazon…"

"I haven't visited AN for a while. I must say, I'm not impressed by this piece (of crap). I expect to find this garbage on Briebart or Drudge. If this is written by an atheist, I'm embarrassed for us all that he or she is among us.…"

I've used Craigslist, but don't feel comfortable with it for some reason. Guess I like to actually see and touch something before buying it. I even tried to sell my truck on CL. (No takers--I live out in the boondocks.)

Regarding your comment left on my "newspaper demise" post: despite early failed attempts to get the local news off the internet, for some reason, I now have full access. Perusing the headlines, my original suspicions are confirmed--the printed version is a waste of paper and money (mine). Free is good!

Loren Miller said… As to "Alonzo Archimedes Future," I refer you to Gregory Peck's opus, Capt. Newman, MD, which featured Eddie Albert as the above-mentioned Mr. Future, though Albert's character was more conventionally known as Army Col. Norval Algate Bliss.
An odd flick here and there, but worth your time.

Your comments on my post are much appreciated. I've decided I'm not going to jump into the deep end of philosophical analysis of the subject(s). "Shallow Hal" is my mantra!

Welcome to this world of rationality and peace, where the application of pure common sense has proved to be enough to lead to the open freethinking wisdom common to non-believers.
We invite you to join the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 700 discussion topics and 3600+ members.

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Welcome, Future! Glad you could join us. :D Some of our groups are "intelligent" and others are more casual.
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Geek & Nerd Haven.
I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.
After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
On a personal note, I've developed an animated gif technique, sort of “pull quote marries slideshow”. Samples are scattered across various groups, but you can find them easily by going to my twitter account. Each tweet has a link (after the description and before the hashtags) to a visually rich example here at Atheist Nexus. If you like them, please follow me
