"The world is changing, as it always has. I agree with the other posters, who say that some things are improving, and some are getting worse. This is not surprising. So many things have been invented in the last few hundreds of years. Take the motor…"

"Wow. Cultural competence, eh? Maybe they should go to a mosque or something.
It's nice to think of Christianity as folklore. Your son sounds like an outstanding human. Of course, as a black and white, I could be biased :)"
Jonathan Christie replied to Anthony Becker's discussion The World, How Are We Doing?
"Welcome:)
I have great hopes for the world, and space, eventually.
as any species on this planet we are adaptive, which quite frankly means we will find a way.
I do feel bad for the christian's as there thought patterns are a bit screwy, I…"

"At any given moment the world is getting both better and worse. It always has. But it seems to me the overall trending is upward. A friend said to me a few years back that he'd not want to bring a child into the world as it is…"
Scot68 replied to Anthony Becker's discussion The World, How Are We Doing?
"Yes, there is hope. There is also cause for great concern and it is easy to despair of any meaningful change. The list of really serious problems that the human species is facing is quite long, and the amount of stupidity that many if not most…"

"My favorite uncle led me through some difficult times, and taught me how to make a killer cup of coffee.
Welcome to the fray!"
Anthony Becker replied to Anthony Becker's discussion My Rantroduction in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
"Yes, exactly. One day I know I'll be ashamed of ever being called Baptist. But for now I'm just mad.
I'm glad I'm on a journey now and no longer on a treadmill of indoctrination."
Anthony Becker replied to Nathan Hevenstone's discussion Has it Been Easy for Anyone? in the group Recovering from Religion
"I used to mentally say "God bless him/her" whenever I thought something hateful about someone else. It's actually a habit developed recently, but it's dying a little tough.
I'm worried about the interpersonal thing when I…"
Anthony Becker replied to Roland St.George's discussion Does anyone know the origin of the concept of a day of rest (what Judeo-Christianity calls "The Sabbath")? in the group Recovering from Religion
"I nice question to add to this would be, Where did the "week" come from?"
Tom Harris replied to Anthony Becker's discussion My Rantroduction in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
"There's some meanies in the atheist world, I hate to say. But that's because we're just people. There's a lot of different personalities out there. Just as there's loving Christians and then there's the Westboro…"
Anthony Becker replied to David J Root's discussion Has religion done you any harm? in the group Recovering from Religion
"All I know is that it's going to sever almost all my childhood relationships. It also almost made me spend my whole life in search of something I wouldn't have proof for or against until after I died.
Plus there's all the money…"
Anthony Becker replied to Anthony Becker's discussion My Rantroduction in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
"Tom, I think you're right: no meanies so far.
We are soooo problematic, aren't we?
They say not to go to them because they just want to drag you into sin and lie to you. What's weird is that it looks quite similar from this side...…"

"Thank you, Linda! I don't know if I'd want that, though, lol! Toward the end I got noticeably upset and let my writing slip a bit... maybe I didn't need to include the thing about money... and the plea for help is pathetic, lol.…"
Anthony Becker replied to Anthony Becker's discussion My Rantroduction in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
"Suzanne, thank you so much for your support!
Wow! We are indeed similar. Homeschoolers... ftw? I'm not so sure anymore, lol!
I think I'm going quite a bit faster than you did, though, which both frightens and excites me.
Today I was in…"
Tom Harris replied to Anthony Becker's discussion My Rantroduction in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
"I think you'll find that most of us here are far from the god-hating meanies that we are painted as by theists. I don't hate God. I don't hate Santa Claus or the Tooth fairy, either. I've just never seen any evidence that they…"
