Shelby Fisher commented on Darrel Ray's group 'Recovering from Religion'
For me, these words are tricky. Trying to put a tag on how I behave or what I strive toward mixes me up, eventually. Thoughts, feelings, behaviors, everything- changes.
Spirituality means nothing for me, but I think I sometimes understand what some…

That makes sense to me, Edward.
Control through religion is certainly one of the most disturbing aspects of religion to me.
Concerning myself with the physical world seems to gain me the most ground while working toward understanding myself and my…

Fred, I understand your feelings on Buddhism. Hope you find something that works for you. I'm sure there is something out there for you.
Thanks for the link!
Shelby Fisher commented on Darrel Ray's group 'Recovering from Religion'
Fred, I highly suggest doing some reading on Buddhism. You may like what you read. You aren't expected to swallow anything. It is important when reading to focus on what the Buddha taught.

hehehe
Shelby Fisher replied to Brianna Starfish's discussion 'I am afraid.' in the group Recovering from Religion
Brianna, it looks like you've received a lot of good advice and suggestions. In my experience it can go any number of ways. What I have found works best with family is not to put down their religion if you decide to reveal your atheism. That is…

I'm so glad you felt encouraged, Amy. It can be lonely, we're lucky to have the internet, I think.

Hopefully I can convert one of the BP employees snorkels that wash up on shore over here.

A wise apprehension.
Managing a night club sounds cool. Missouri is one of the few states I have not visited. Always makes me think of the Tom Waits song "Bottom of the World" due to the reference.
I'm going to Mexico City in October…

Nice to meet you, too. Right now I work delivering bailed hay to farms. I recently moved to Florida and am getting by doing what I can for work. I would like to get over to the Gulf and help out.
How about you?
Shelby Fisher commented on Darrel Ray's group 'Recovering from Religion'
Nice, I wish we could too.
Peace
Shelby Fisher commented on Darrel Ray's group 'Recovering from Religion'
Thanks, Joeyess.
I would prefer the superstitions be left behind as well. My way of thinking is that seeing as this is not logically likely when we observe the constant beliefs by those who can not produce a shred of evidence supporting their…
Shelby Fisher commented on Darrel Ray's group 'Recovering from Religion'
Well said, Joeyess. The cultivation of love and compassion are, I believe, our greatest challenge in the face of the our absurd world. It enables our action to spread, as you say, the seeds. The universe's indifference can be upsetting and…
Shelby Fisher commented on Darrel Ray's group 'Recovering from Religion'
Absolutely. I am pro-laughter... It's funny how a concept can become so ingrained in one's mind that even after dismissing it, it remains a part of life without any known existence. I find concerning myself with the physical world to be…
Shelby Fisher commented on Darrel Ray's group 'Recovering from Religion'
Thanks, Joey. I really enjoyed the song. Talk to you soon.

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hi Shelby, and welcome to this friendly meeting place where freethinking atheists recognise that religion is nothing less than a huge fraud aimed at controlling vulnerable superstitious people, especially defenceless children; and
how tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and even longer.

That's OK Arnab. Much quicker than the second coming of Christ. Wouldn't want to be hanging by the balls waiting for that to happen.
