I agree with you guys. Atheism ain't what it used to be. Like you guys said, just being anti-Christian is considered atheism these days. From my observations, they seem to have it in specifically for white conservative Christians. Non-white Christians tend to get a free pass because they're not white. Religions other than Christianity are also given special treatment. On top of that, they also tend to embrace stuff like magic, divination, and other pseudo-religious ideologies.

For these modern so-called atheists, they're not represented by baldness, but instead by a purple-haired pixie cut.

That's not really atheism, it's Atheism+™ (Pasteurized process atheism-flavored product).

Nah, even the Anti-Atheism+ people turned out to be a bunch of faggots

I mean look at all the skeptics, who out of them avoided becoming a cunt?

Atheism isn't even what it used to be, now people say they are atheists but are happy to believe in astrology, magic, etc.

It takes magical thinking to support tranny shit. You literally need to believe in the concept of a soul, even if you don't call it that, to claim men can be women inside, and so on.
So it's no surprise modern atheists, all commies and LGBTQ+ allies, fall into it.

Agreed, atheism+ happened because the other skeptics were faggots too. They let it happen, and they were just generally insufferable, all of them trying to make internet names for themselves by refuting things like bigfoot endlessly (the atheism+ people DID have a point with "bigfoot skepticism").

Dawkins did, or at least becoming more of a cunt than he already was.

I'm slogging away. Online school for 6 months to get an internship through them as a software developer. Social contact is almost nonexistent by preference, and I feel best at home. Started a running program again from within my driveway, back and forth. Protracted legal battle ahead that may take years but needs to be done. I am struggling with the monotony of routine and low funds for another half a year on top of several years of repeated failure because I have been weak. It takes a lot to keep going, you know? Joy is difficult to come by right now. Fuel for persistence is found in smiles/affection from my child and partner each day, and successfully solving problems that were significantly challenging for me. Exercise is helping a lot; looking forward to being strong enough for 25 minute runs each morning to clear my head.

Shit's a lot harder, and more expensive, when you're alone with little social contact and support.

Forget about women/partnership/sex for a bit. Use that time and freed-up mental bandwidth to make yourself into a man worth having a relationship with. This will improve everything about your life, not just the romantic stuff. The things to evolve are the things you deem important to you as a man. What do you want to be able to do in life?

The problem with this is that I've already spent most of my life doing just that. I'm too old to keep putting off that impulse.
As far as finding a good woman, it's just hard to find a woman in general, let alone one worth starting a family with.

The illness I had isn't going away. I still have the same respiratory and renal symptoms despite three rounds of antibiotics. I got a urine culture and I just got prescribed more antibiotics. My Walgreens closed down due to shoplifting so I now have to take a bus to get to a pharmacy. The ER says it's probably lupus related. The rheumatologists doesn't think so but tells me to see this other doctor and see what he thinks. My urine culture was apparently quite bad. I'm now afraid to get another chest x-ray. But I'm guessing I'm going to be told I need to.

I've coughed so much that my head hurts. Every time I cough the muscles in my neck hurt. I can barely sleep and stay up most of the night. I tried to read up on some things and it looks like respiratory problems can come with bladder and kidney infections because of fluid homeostasis being disrupted. I want this resolved already so I can feel normal. I've been sick since early September and do not have Covid or the flu. Literally WTF?

Is it lupus?

Got a week off from work. Woo hoo. I hope I can get started with my hobbies.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I wanted to add one thing to the atheism discussion:

I mentally checked out of all that shit when I got a facebook ad years ago for some secular group pimping Islam. Basically, it was a "Learn all about the truth about Islam!" basically atheists sanitizing Islam. We went from atheists like Dawkins and Hitchens bashing stone-age superstitions from violent ragheads to atheists outright promoting beliefs of people where many of them would kill them.

I doubt I'm the only atheist here that finds they tend to get along with Christians in real life. I have very different values, but I also value maturity, discipline, and tolerance, and if I can publicly argue that religion is bunk I can patiently listen to someone talk about their beliefs without getting pissy--even if that person wants to persuade me. Because y'know, that's what exchanging ideas is, and that requires you to listen to Christians too.

What hobbies do you have?

I want to get back into drawing and try my luck with programming.

Everything in Christianity that atheists think is bad is in Islam to a cartoonishly extreme degree. It's absolutely insane to hate one and give the other a free pass.

It's just a roundabout version of hating white people.

I finally am getting some time to myself and a short break off work. I need it.

Part of me wants to go somewhere to try to socialize, but I can't and won't talk to people about normie things, which ironically makes me come off as autistic (hey, I'd rather think about things that matter instead of fucking Marvel). I kind of wonder what other people do. I don't really go out to bars and shit because I hate paying for goddamn watered-down drinks when they're already bending you over, and people just talk about celebrities, shitty movies, rap music, etc. these days. How the fuck do you people socialize in modern American culture without surrounding yourself with the dumbed-down people?

Well, today I tore the last of the floor out of the bedroom. Tomorrow I'll finish loading the pickup for a trip to the dump.

Oh, social, yea, I don't do that. Except for the local BBQ for one of my hobbies most Sundays. About an hour is my tolerance, and they're mostly sane.

Nobody says anything that has any value anymore but I feel like living so isolated I'm letting opportunity pass me by, but at the same time I cannot find tolerable people to meet.

we pretty much have the storage unit empty. just a couple pallets, a ugly as sin headboard, and random bits

Almost 8AM and i can't sleep, that's some bullshit i tell you what. I'm still off drugs, don't drink anything with caffeine in it (the coffee i used for cooking Chili today was decaf), only have the usual bullshit going through my head so i'm completly lost on what causes this spontaneous bout of insomnia. Was a stress free couple of days, too. I really envy people who have good sleep, sometimes it feels like i haven't had a good night's rest in all of my life.
