New here and trying to figure out things out

[Baruch]

You have to go thru gyrations to believe in gods that allow evil in the world...especially when they promise to protect you from them and don't.

I have never had a god promise me anything.  Did a priest promise you something?  Did a book promise you something?  You are just gullible and bitter about it.

Did a book promise you something?

The Bible does, lots of promises, lots of lies. You're just gullible and refuse to admit it.

The best words the Bible offers are these: "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity."

All else is gibberish.

If you ever believed a book, then you are the fool.

If you ever believed a human, then you are the fool.

And G-d doesn't talk to me either.  And not bitter about it.

Santa Claus?  Pretty bitter about him ;-)

What no ...

Time for peace, time for war?  Seems pretty accurate to me.

Hello all. I joined this forum and posted here because I am conflicted and confused and I am either looking for more answers or support (or maybe both).

I do know one thing. I've asked myself. If I were brought up religiously neutral (not raised in any religion). Would I choose to be Catholic or even Christian? The answer is no for a lot of reasons. I don't think I would belong to any religion. I think that's interesting to ponder.

I welcome your thoughts and experiences and doubts.  If you have questions, this is a good place to ask.

I don't think I can start new threads yet, so I figured I would ask on my own original thread. Does anyone know of a good list of secular charities that are helping with hurricane Dorian relief? In the past I always gave to Catholic Relief services and I want to give to something not affiliated with religion. I've been doing a lot of online searches and only found one so far: Foundation Beyond Belief. Thanks!

I think Doctors without borders takes donations.

Thanks! I was hoping for something a little longer term, to help rebuild. But people will need medical help for a long time as well (not to mention I am sure the conditions are ripe for disease).

YOu might want to wait on that.  It looks as if the Bahamas is going to get nailed again.

I wonder if this time it will go on to hit Alabama?

Bye y'all.  Thanks for all the babel fish, etc...  Been a great few years...  I'm gone. 

Baruch, you are on your own, drown the site with absurd posts.  I won't be pulling you back to reality anymore.
