Advice needed: My philosophical position is destroying my relationships

[Dotard]

Oh screw all that pussy-footing, tip-toeing crap.

Say it like it is. There exists no evidence for the existance of supernatural invisible sky daddys, i.e. Gods. Period.

Got hurt feelings? Too bad. Suck it up chimp monkey, that's just the way it is.

Insensitive? Bigoted? Yeah, call it that if it makes ya feel better. Stating the obvious does not make one 'intolerant'. I tolerate all the numb-nutted idiotic ideas anyone wishes to live with. I just do not share them and see no reason not to state as such for fear of isolation or "scaring" others off.

I do not need to hide the fact that I do not share in anyones non-evidenced opinions about ghosts and goblins nor witches or God(s). That is a 'view' or opinion. It's just what you think.
Stating we have no evidence for any of that garbage (aotg) is not a opinion or view, it's a fact.
It's an opinion that there probably is no God. It's a fact we have no evidence of such a creature.

Is that 'intolerant'? No. therefore it does not bigotry make.

When I meet people as you describe (the OP) and they want to get all cry-baby, becoming insulted and start calling me close-minded because I state a fact, I celebrate their departure.

Really, if she said the world was resting on a turtle's back, and you showed her a pic from space explaining it hangs in space would Arcanus still accuse you of insensitive bigotry and shoving your 'beliefs' down another's throat?

If she said cigarettes were not addictive nor a threat to good health, and you showed her the facts, would Arcanus still accuse you of insensitive bigotry and shoving your 'beliefs' down another's throat?

Bullshit. It is not your 'insensitivity' or 'bigotry' or your acceptance of reality as what is real that is ruining your relationships. It is the 'let's play pretend'ers that are ruining your relationships. It's not you.


BTW, I have been in a relationship for over 18 years with a Christian go to church EVERY sunday (well, tomorrow she's working for me so she has to skip, but she'll pray for forgiveness) girl.

She accepts I don't play pretend unless it's in the bedroom (or closet or bathtub or kitchen, you get the picture) and we're just fine. I love her and she loves my money, or me, I dunno. She says it don't pay her no nevermind that I'll be burning in hell for eternity. In fact she says I deserve it. Not for not believing in her God but for otherthings. But I degress.

What were we talking about?

Oh yeah, I fully support the legalization of marijuana.
