Things I get tired of repeating.

I don't hate god.
I wasn't hurt by the church.
I don't believe everything came from nothing.
Morality doesn't need the existence of god.
I don't love to “sin”.
I don't fear hell.
I am unconvinced by the scant evidence.
I don't need more research, or your prayers.
Your experience doesn't negate mine.
Belief isn't a choice.
I would gladly speak to Jesus, but I don't trust his representatives.

@Galvatron087 I am at 46 years….

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

I say… good men aren't that shallow.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@CyEdmunds @ShutUpAmanda No… they arent rare at all.
My grandmother had her own stories and I suspect my mom did too. I know my sisters do.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@JTShults @DININTELNETWORK No one does except through second hand information.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

It is far more accurate to view cognition as a branchs of tree where different species have evolved specialized tool of awareness to solve the problems of their survival.
There are too many examples of animals using reason and problem solving.
Abstract reasoning…. There are results from experiments that prove some animals do have that capability.

@rixter719 You are right, I don't know and even don't believe the story.
But I wondered about this when I was a teenager.
I contemplated whether he failed that temptation and didn't report it.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

I have often wondered why satan didn't “tempt” jesus with a beautiful naked woman in the wilderness.
Man's greatest temptation and it was completely overlooked, or just not reported.

[KAYLAH ỌDEMWINGIẸ @kaylah_osas]

Did Jesus ever have a sexual urge?

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@CyEdmunds @ShutUpAmanda I prayed too…. That God would make it stop.

No answer.

My mom, I have forgiven, and I know she lived with the regret of not even asking when she suspected. It haunted her.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@normanbates8x1 I never understood a miracle claim for something so pointless. People saw something. So what?

At least a claim of feeding 5000 has a purpose.

Christianity 101:

Step 1: Deny ANY scientific evidence that points towards evolution.

Step 2: Strawman the atheists position as "you just want to sin."

Step 3: Run

iAtheism 101:

Step 1: Deny ANY scientific evidence that points towards a creator.

Step 2: Strawman the creation position as "God of the gaps."

Step 3: Run

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@WebWrld8 That is a theory too.
In what ways do you believe consciousness in humans to differ?

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

The examples you used actually prove Hitchens' point. We do look for evidence in relationships: consistency, care, and trustworthiness. If a partner is completely absent, abusive, or unfaithful, we dismiss the claim that they 'love' us because the evidence contradicts it. No lab required—just observable reality.

@iAnonPatriot Not one of those kids would do this alone.….
It's groupthink and mass hysteria.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@JamesWhines12 @MelanieLipoman1 If she wants to subject herself to being a sex slave, then that's her choice. She is speaking for women everywhere and has no right.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

I say… good men aren't that shallow.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@OhHowByronic They are happy with the reward they get from doing this.

Don't you think?

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

When I was a teen and in a church youth group, we would have done something like this and felt like we were being a witness to the world. That isn't what the world sees.

[American AF 🇺🇸 @iAnonPatriot]

Gen Z is turning back to God

125 young Christians walked into a mall in Portland and broke out in worship singing "Our God Is an Awesome God"

This is the America the left told us was gone

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@JamesWhines12 @MelanieLipoman1 I make a claim that men are no so shallow they need a Stepford wife…. And you think I am being unloving?

You need to do some self-reflection.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

I am currently reading a book that discusses it… it doesn't try to solve it.
I think we assume we are then only truly conscious beings and I'm not so sure we are. It just may manifest itself differently in other species.

The answer… I'm really not sure. But it is an interesting topic.

[kathooks 🌎🪐🌕 @hookskat]

@newbsharp @Paul50288088 I hope so.

[Tom Celica™ @thetomcelica]

The Hegseth impeachment vote failed 211-204 after 11 Democrats failed to show up.
Sounds like they need a new party leader.

[Infinite lovely Music 😂 @EternalLoveLif1]

Pastor Paul Nthenge Mackenzie, leader of Good news international ministry in Kenya 🇰🇪 , is now serving 200 years in prison for the death of 191 people, mostly children of under 10 years.

He preached that the world wants to end and instructed the members to fast, after moving them into a forest, away from the town.

The fasting was by force, so they can meet Jesus; the members began to starve and guards prevented them from escaping.

Will the world really end according to mainstream religions?

[Manda Skeptically 🦾🥦🏳️‍🌈 @ShutUpAmanda]

When I broke down and told my mom what happened to me, her reaction was “But he sure was cute” followed up by, “You know how you are…”

That’s right about the time I started convincing myself I deserved all the abuse I came across. I never reported it.

Goddamn Christian “purity culture” bullshit.
