Your Thoughts on Alcohol?
I've noticed that atheists typically enjoy alcohol at least as much as the general population. However, conservatives who are religious drink less on average.
Please, conservative atheists, give your thoughts on alcohol.

I like it!
I drink, but I am careful not to drink too often, usually no more than twice a week. I also make sure not to drink so much that I get a hangover the next day.Alcohol has been too ingrained in the culture to get rid of even if we wanted to. And yes if abused it can wreck your life, but I would not change the laws on alcohol.

Well I personally don't drink alcohol - but it's my choice and others are free to do as they please.
So that's my thoughts. -

L'alcool au volant
L'alcool est les chiens pisse. Il s'agit d'une drogue mortelle. Il est généralement légal tandis que d'autres moins nocifs drogues récréatives sont illégales. L'alcool est ancré dans notre culture comme la religion. La prochaine génération sera le veux aussi.

I'm glad that in the US the legal drinking age is 21, delaying when you start drinking can lessen the chance of addiction.

My own answer is that I don't drink and think it would be good if drinking were illegal. (For better or for worse, if that were phased in, people probably would turn to other substances rather than home-brew or smuggle as happened during Prohibition.) Recreational drinking is incompatible with my idea of clean, conservative living.

It's all about responsibility.
A lot of people can handle their alcohol, and behave responsibly. They should not be punished because some don't.

Many people won't become abusers of alcohol, but alcohol abuse is underreported. Also, there are subtle negative behaviors that alcohol often leads to, like casual sex. To me, the negatives so outweigh the positives that in theory getting rid of alcohol is clearly the right call.

Joe, my experience has persuaded me that casual sex is better without an alcohol precursor.

Death of a family member
Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 5 Comments 1 Like
OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
