IMO, it’s the clergy who are the con artists. But that’s a separate discussion.<br/><br/>Co-dependency, as I understand it, is not so much trying to save others as it is one person acting as the caregiver and enabling the other person’s irresponsible or destructive behavior; e.g., making excuses for an alcoholic’s drunken antics, which perpetuates the problem.<br/><br/>Regarding the sneeze question, if I sneeze and you say “God bless you,” I would say “Thank you.” You have to pick your battles, and that one isn’t important to me. If you offer to *pray* for me to feel better, then fine, you do you, go right ahead. The offer to pray for an atheist is actually condescending, but I know most people who say that don’t mean to be insulting. Some people use it as a way of saying “f*ck you.” I take it in the spirit that was intended. <br/><br/>Your claims about God and #Jesus reflect what’s found in the #Bible, which leads to my next question: Do you take the entire Bible as literal truth, or do you consider parts of it to be metaphorical?<br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/>______________________<br/>#atheism #faith #god 2026-10-22T12:38:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspumjcrft5xgn723durpasr0nr7hj0csrd6qlwqnr5cjwuxdza9pczyzyl2n4yuk8fszvu77dg9azzvtdjewen7k2cygt0wjywq4yj6zcwcfjpte2 It seems a reminder is needed:<br/><br/>#Fascism #TrumPutin<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/462/193/988/637/986/original/bf5707904ee4576d.jpg"> <br/> 2026-10-18T13:43:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspgn00h567ynxp0xv7czys09cg3j9dkdqskm4qrqx8gg2g4hatwgqzyzyl2n4yuk8fszvu77dg9azzvtdjewen7k2cygt0wjywq4yj6zcwcsyvcmr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsysczavd6qt4ycfmmys4m5eucrpupn09yy86v9t5esurarg4wec9g7xgnkk'>nevent1q…gnkk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ll try my best to answer you today, Dominic, but I have to get ready for a trip and may not be able to reply till Thursday.

That&#39;s not something I would do (but I will respond to theistic claims that cross my timeline). They seem to be more militant than I am. But I think some have what they see as a good reason: to save people from being victims of indoctrinated bad information, which among other things can make the believer vulnerable to con artists of all kinds. <br/><br/>My daily posts, addressed to theists but open to everyone, are meant to light a spark of critical thinking. My main issue is the use of faith, which I don&#39;t think is a good thing (see my pinned post for details).<br/><br/>Is there anything you&#39;d like to know about atheism, or do you have any other questions of your own?
