We need some help bombing the hell out of an online poll about gay marriage by tanis666in atheism

[–]sdbear 3 points4 points ago

I'm with you, If we let gays marry pretty soon everybody will be wanting their human rights, and where will we be then, I ask you.

Sorry, I'm not that much into belief, itself, most of the time.

Does anyone else prefer solar smoking? by missdemeanor_in trees

[–]sdbear 5 points6 points ago

I would think that you might generate enough heat to vaporize a lot of THC into the atmosphere before one could inhale.

Never tried it myself, though.

Maybe, but I doubt that there is an ego that has ever existed that was capable of permitting everything.

What is something you have worn out and replaced, or something you would replace with the same if it ever broke? by no_talent_ass_clownin AskReddit

[–]sdbear 1 point2 points ago

My best friend has had his hip replaced, and my wife is considering having a knee replaced. I have replaced my teeth. Such is the nature of things waring out.

There may be some truth in it. I was born in '41, and can remember all the Nazi stuff from the late 40's and early to mid fifties.

Bristol Palin can talk the talk about "hate" and "bullying", she just won't admit who the bullies actually are. But it really is bullying to use your platform as a national celebrity to deny the equality of our love. by rmuserin lgbt

[–]sdbear -2 points-1 points ago

No, I did not know that, but am not surprised. He/she always seems to find away of making this seventy one year old feel very proud. (At my age we get the right to take pride in things and people we have nothing to do with.)

ZJ is simply a treasure.

Just had a fight with a relative... by tengar5in lgbt

[–]sdbear 1 point2 points ago

"It is clear, my dear relative, that your only interest in this conversation is to spread your own version of hate and pain, as well as to make me personally uncomfortable. It is also a major disappointment to me, that the rest of the family appears to tolerate your ignorance and hatred. I cannot remain at a table with those who would allow your hate filled venom be directed to me." At this point, I would stand and leave.

Gratitude - The Secret of Life? by TommieKellyin spirituality

[–]sdbear 1 point2 points ago

It seems that the question of surrender is in the top ten of all tricky subjects. First let me give you my personal golden rule for surrender. Surrender must be an act of intelligence or it does not count.

When we arrive at the point where surrender is the only intelligent response to the situation, the question "To who or what I am suppose to be surrendering," comes to the surface. The answer is even more tricky. We need to learn to simply give up without an object. That is, we need to learn to surrender without the need for an object to surrender to. We simply give up and accept the situation as it is.

Note: I tend to use surrender and acceptance interchangeably. Once we have completely surrendered and accepted the situation, we might find that the situation has also accepted us. When this happens, gratitude flows naturally from the heart.

First comes acceptance or surrender, then comes gratitude. First things first.

To Atheists: Help find the flaw in this logic. by J-makin DebateReligion

[–]sdbear 0 points1 point ago

I think that it is called "arguing from ignorance." The idea is that if you don't have all the answers, then the only thing left is to rely on faith to answer those questions that, so far, are unanswered. The next error is to state that atheists deny the existence of God. This is simply untrue. The atheist position is that there is no awareness of any evidence in favor of the existence of a deity that a rational person would find convincing.

I tend to say, "If it makes you feel better, why not?"
