They taught me, one does not need to believe in a God to have a religion.

Have fun in whatever life throws your way.
-
There's one or two people here that I don't much like, but I ignore them and focus on the majority who are good people. It's a pretty cool place once you do that.

If you support the NRA and any of the other even loonier 'gun rights' groups you're the enemy - fuck you.
-
I don't support the NRA, but hell I just donated $25 to them for you.
-
Good idea Josh!
bpd, 100usd to Oregon Firearms Federation. Not Not Relevant Anymore, more local and powerful.

The NRA perpetuates ignorance about the true social costs of having unregulated guns, opposing even the most commonsense gun regulations like closing background check loopholes and mandatory background checks

Sounds like a personal problem. May want to consider other means of participation.

The "ignore" feature is a wonderful thing.
-
I'd just avoid reading posts of people I didn't want to interact with.

I can't put a mod on ignore? What the hell is that?

LOL, BrotherJosh.
-
but why do I have to see a mod's paranoid far right brain dead topics and comments on topics?
-
The assault weapons ARE the rpoblem - the division is between those who give a shit and those who don't.

Of course some can handle it. But the gun lobby works very hard to ensure those who can't handle the responsibility get the right anyway. You sell more guns if everybody can have one.
-
And how, exactly, do we determine who can and cannot handle owning a firearm? Without trying to kill someone?
I'd say not just some can, most can. Some relatively few cannot, and some of them just want to kill people for whatever reason.

The fact is that for the asshole gun fanatics it's about convenience and nothing else - sensible gun laws would inconvenience them and they'd lot rather thousands of innocent people get slaughtered than to be p[ersonally inconvenienced in getting their phallic substitutes. It's appalling and sick to see such narcissistic selfishness.

I related so much to your falling for a non-Christian while still a believer - I went thriugh that myself, and it was a huge kickstart to my own deconversion. Would 'god' really be that petty to deny me that chance at true happiness and a deep, fulfilling relationship simply because the person in question didn't believe the 'right' things? And definitely relate to the anger at all the lost time and being led into bogus beliefs - in my case by people who maybe didn't always have just my own well being in mind, but fear of their own deity. Welcome - ancestors on both my mother's father's side of the family came from Ireland so I feel knidred wiht you on that score as well.

I remember one of the times I almost left the faith, wandering around the bible college I had attended and being completely unable to relate to it - did I actually attend here and did I really ever believe any of it? It was surreal, and yet I didn't leave Christianity for good that time, I went back and redoubled my efforts. It was actually a serious illness that broke the last straw for me - the kind of thing that is always supposed to drive you back to 'god' and in fact one of my friends suggested that 'god' had given me this illness to 'get your attention.' The farther away you get from it the more you see how truly insane it is.

Welcome! I wish your ocean was my great lake, I'd love to hang out with you.

As in real life, you will run into people with opinions that differ from yours. Take a break, learn to cope and try again later. If that's not enough, pm me and I can delete you.
-
I understand what you are saying BDP. Seems like some of the topics are meant to divide and we are here to try to pull ourselves together. Try to hang in there.
-
I understand too bdp. The ToT forum is pretty crazy most of the time. I just ignore it.
