My UU Experience As An Atheist

And yet when members of the two groups talk, they're often surprised to discover that they're both human beings! That's one of the things I really loved about facilitating dialogue between theists and atheists.

I hope China sanctions the USA to keep their RAM and SSDs and technology in general away from the US.

What will a post US empire world look like?

My hope is that when the USA falls, it will take global capitalism with it. I've been speculating about the post-capitalist world on Mastodon lately.

How Do I Witness to My Atheist Friend?

Is it copypasta if I wrote it?

So actually witnessing an incontrovertible miracle wouldn't work for you?

I can't say that it would work for me, mind you. I'd probably get myself examined by a neurologist first!

Thoughts on putting down elderly pets?

6mon 9d ago in asklemmy@lemmy.ml

It's hard as hell, but for me it comes down to this: we have to decide if they're suffering so much that death would be a relief for them. Since we don't have a common language, all we can do is go by what other signs and indicators are available. I don't entirely trust veterinarians to make that decision, because in the past it has seemed to me that they tend to err on the side of euthanasia.

I've done it both ways. Either way, it hurts.

Atheism: BANNED, because...

Non-dystopian SF for a change!

I'd follow you here, but I can't figure out how! I'm not seeing an option to follow on your profile.

I tried setting one up on Mastodon with Guppe Groups, but it plunked into the void and was never seen again. I should probably try a different approach. Maybe a group on Lemmy?

Well, I just wrote and posted a review of Everything for Everyone on BookWyrm.social and copied it here (and on my Mastodon account). I'm an older reader, and I preferred older books even when I was a child. So many of the books reviewed on my BookWyrm account are pre-1980 or so. That said, there are a lot of wonderful old books - including many in the public domain - which are really worth reading!
