The Transgender “Epidemic”

I’ve been mostly against this rush to protect transgender people, I just don’t believe that gender dysphoria has become an epidemic among our children and young adults as we’re made to believe by the media how all of these people from different racial, ethnic, and yes, genders, suddenly contract a vey rare mental disease that has affected no more than .2% of the population in the past? Bats or Pangolins?

What Do Atheists Believe In?

Everyone believes in somethind. Everyone. Yes, even atheists. Atheists may not belive in gods of any sort, bqut qnext timr you’re around an atheist, ask that person what they do believe in.

It really hasn’t been thar long ago where states had lawa against atheism and like some others in society, were locked firmly in the closet.

Does Atheism Change You?

Every once in a while, I like to come back and say something about being an atheist. I know I’ve written on this topic more than once, and it might be easier to pull up an old post and freshen it, I kind of like to look back, seeing if i’ve changed much. Guess what? I’m not special and like everyone else on the planet, have changed somewhat over time. What about the attitudes of believers? Do they change much or are they stuck like a needle on a badly scratched record? I think it depends on who’s expressing the opinion and who or what they use to guide or “inform” thar opinion.
