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
US out of UN, UN out of US
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.
