Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism

Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

Twue, but IS a believer happier than a skeptic? I know when I express my skepticism it makes me sound like a grouch, because obviously somebody's bubble is being burst, but I'm happy as hell.
Maybe I'm just mean.
For me the most striking metaphor is Dumbo, clinging to a "magic feather" thinking that this enables him to fly.
I will NEVER forget what a devout Christian friend once said to my wife and me: "I find the more you think about it, the harder it is to believe".
MB: Probably not, but it's part of the image they like to project.
RtS: Which is why religion needs to inculcate suspicion of thinking -- "the wisdom of the world is foolishness to God", etc.
