I find when I explain my Buddhist leanings that Atheists get confused and think I am an atheist who just likes lighting "prayer candles" for the lulz and that my talk of being reborn into the Pureland is some wacky metaphor.

If there wasn't more to this than I should never have been born in the first place.

Basically.. my reaction to hearing the good word of Atheism was to cling to New Age as hard as possible and believe the Skeptics were just miserable and calling anything inconvenient to their beliefs "Psuedoscience"

That lasted... a while... thankfully I'm not on the Spirit Science train anymlre

Now I'm a Buddhist and am learning to be cool with the temporary nature of existence and am looking forward to rebirth in the Pure Land.

The Problem with New Atheism is that humans need hope and hope isn't something Dawkins offers.

Legally? Naw it won't hold up in court.

George Lucas doesn't have the right to come into my house and smash my VHS copies of the original trilogy pre-special edition.

That's a thing you can sue for?

Absolute clown show.

Ease of use is a forgotten artform it seems

Oof

Sadly my expectations for the Democrats is that they will ignore every red flag on their way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I don't know about God, but clearly there is some kind of Demiurge at play. Because how the fuck else do you explain Donald Trump's plot armor? At this point if this were a series and it wasn't meant to be a goofball comedy about an inept politician, I'd call bullshit.

Oh I fully expect Democrats to endorse Trump for a third term if the alternative is a real progressive.

She's a woman with a will of her own, that's enough for anyone on the Right to hate her.

What I really can't stand though is when they try to pretend she's dumb. I mean when we on the Left call Trump a moron, we can actually point to things he did and said. When they try to paint AOC as an airhead, they mostly just repurpose old blonde jokes to be about AOC, there's never anything she actually did or said that they bring up.

Ever notice that?

God I'm glad I don't use facebook anymore

"It's my turn." was everything wrong with Hillary's campaign in a nut shell.

How the fuck are you able to make yourself look like an unhinged ego-maniac who just wants to be President for the sake of being President, when you're running against Trump? That shouldn't be possible.

Sadly many of them didn't know Kamela was even running until they couldn't find Biden's name on the polls come Election Night.
