And good riddance to the world's largest apocalyptic death cult.

Dogs, I just like having backup when I'm out on an adventure.
That's the thing though, all religions are control schemes. Christianity especially. It has nothing to do with being moral and everything to do with being obedient to a particular authority. The core of the faith is authoritarianism, not any branch of morality.
Yeah... I can barely smell at all. Even normally strong smells like that of the urine of an unfixed male cat aren't particularly impactful to me. I wouldn't have even considered the potentiality that ants have a distinctive smell in spite of being aware that they use pheromone trails for navigation.
My response;
How do you handle death being the end?
It's something of a relief to me. I won't be around to worry about projects left incomplete or things not done once I am gone. The sense that there is some great finality to the presentation that is my life is nice now that I've gotten over being told there would be otherwise as a child.
Seriously, what's the point in living?
I don't know about you but I enjoy what I do and further enjoy it when it's helpful. Books, movies, video games... most things, really, end. People still enjoy them and I'm treating life the same way. I'm enjoying mine while it lasts.
Why be good if there is no Hell?
I don't get off on other people's suffering and to the best of my understanding, including some understanding of computer models, cooperation works better than trying to cheat everyone. So, I'm good because it's the sensible course of action. I don't need a negative incentive when there's already positive ones and all of this being on top of Humans being a social species such that most of us can share in the joy of others, especially if we have contributed to it.
You seriously don't understand God.
Well, if he's got the powers you describe him as having then he doesn't want me to understand. How am I meant to believe in an entity with perfect ability to hide from my perception? If it's so important that I believe in him maybe you should tell him he's won this hide-and-seek game and he can come out now.
'Yeah, you'd be surprised how good you are when you're doing good for the sake of it rather than trying to earn some reward.'
Seeing posts like this is always a bit frustrating. Autism wasn't discovered in the 80s or later, descriptions of it predate WWII. Just a matter of people not caring and some governments being actively hostile... both to the research itself and the people.
TBF at least one of those has a known answer, it's just a matter that the problem fundamentally is that those who can meaningfully influence the problem want the problem.
No. My statement is that I've yet to receive any kind of response to any inquiry directed toward Jesus while I have never been just wholly ignored by a search engine.
How 'bout that I've never gotten no response from Google, or any search engine for that matter, and that is the only result I've gotten from Jesus?
And something to hold the TV at a reasonable viewing angle from a comfy seated position.
Shedu if fits my style nicely... maybe not always aesthetically but my gameplay style. It's a launcher, firing explosives but it does so at pinpoint accuracy so you can readily get headshots.
Feels so nice to use. Feels so painful to get though.
