"Juliet, I enjoyed the story about your dad's health insurance and had to laugh out loud at your PS:
The fact that you are willing to marry (not would like to meet?) a Canadian gentleman of a certain age that likes cats I hope is a joke. I…"

"On the TV show Planet Mechanics there was a successful electricity generator that used wave action making air go up and down within a large tube. The air movement turned a turbine which could spin in either direction, so energy was generated by both…"

Atheist Bible Study #3
"I always ask why Noah didn't land on Mt. Everest, instead of the relatively low Mt. Ararat. Still haven't gotten an answer. Oh, BTW, someone did the math, and Methuselah probably would have drowned in the flood."

Juliet Defarge replied to Jack Russell's discussion Decon: 9 - Jesus was a poor magician in the group Deconversion Club
"I wish I could have seen Simon Magus in his prime; from what I read, it sounds like he put on a good show. Plus, he rescued a woman from a brothel, something Jesus never did.
By the time Jesus supposedly lived, cities and states viewed religious…"

Just a couple of weeks ago, my Dad went to pick up his eye drops for glaucoma, and instead of the $4. he expected, he was told the tiny bottle would cost $72. Almost 20 years ago he retired from Caterpillar Tractor Co, and thought he had health coverage for life. Nope. He's reached his lifetime max, so now all he has is Medicare, which will cover 80% of allowable cost. So, 20+ % of the next hospitalization bill will undoubtedly cost thousands of dollars.

Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

Do join groups like the busy discussion group “ORIGINS” (Origins: Universe, Life, Humans, Evolution, Religion..... ).
I have been running a long discussion (over 50 posts) there about being "Proud to be Atheist" because we should all be inwardly proud---and most of us outwardly loudly proud too---seeing that atheists and humanists hold the intellectual high ground over the pathetic nonsense of the irrational, superstitious god believers.
