Things that affirm my atheism

37. Yeah, that's cool.

I'm doing my best to be supportive of everyone believing what they choose to or choose not to.

In my own way, I want to support atheists in general and here on DU specifically because of the value of this community. AND if we can do it here, maybe we can find a way to push that outward to help our communities and even possibly America with this difficult issue.

In my real life it's easy for people to get it that I'm interested in what they have to say and who they are regardless of their affiliations or lack thereof. Text alone doesn't convey the entire message at times.

I've had so much good experiences with so many types of people that I wish I could find a way to understand how it works and get it out to others so that the possibility of at least allies getting along doesn't seem so far fetched.

Obviously someone lost to MAGA world I would not be able to have a conversation with because their shouting and crazy is too overwhelming. BUT that is more about the behavior that I don't tolerate in my life than someone's personal choice of what they believe.

I am not real fond of Satanic Cults but actually had a reasonable conversation with a person who was a priest in a Satanic group. He wasn't being an ass and honestly said he couldn't get out for some reason that I won't go into here.... but he wanted my help to date my BFF because she was so sweet and innocent she might as well have been a virgin and I told him as nice as he was I doubted it would work.

So why is it that conversations here with atheists seem to fall apart? I don't know. I wish I did.
