Humans fucking suck!
I fucking hate them!

Perhaps not "atheistic", but, it is my motto.

I heard many a tale and rumor that hedonism was rife at atheist conventions, but of all those conventions I attended, I'll be damned if I ever found any of it.  Dunno

Currently in Rock Springs WY, drinking coffee and waiting on my travel partner to shower and get going. She is not the morning person and we are recovering from a total shit show on Saturday. To top it all off she fell off the slick trailer fender in Idaho and really twisted her ankle. Our destination? A 3rd floor walk up apartment in Queens. Facepalm

We are in a Ex-RR housing single wide mobile split into two one bedroom units. It is super nicely appointed, tastefully decorated and stocked with all sorts of snacks and toiletries and whatnot. $96 all in, and not parking in a hotel lot and worrying about or stuff? priceless. It is a little park of working people right off the highway, and behind it is acres of sandstone and sand and scrub with trails to walk a dog.

I tend towards ignosticism or apatheism.

Questions of existence are determined via the scientific method.

Morally, I tend to secular humanism. I believe humans (and any future ethical agents) get to decide what agreements we will enter into while in the context of a society that has its rules. Governments that allow for changes in the rules based on the desires of the people governed are to be encouraged.

Sexually, I am a cis, straight, vanilla, poly, male.

Kind of a militant radical socialist pacifist atheist, I suppose.

Whatever that means.

It's comments like this that remind me how much I miss G/S!

That's all atheism is.

Yes, both I and Anton LaVey himself would agree with that. LaVey himself in "The Satanic Bible" explains that we as humans made up the concept of god(s) using our own carnal minds.

However, what I was intending was to provoke a discussion about "Ok, there's no god, so what now?". Philosophers such as Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jean-Paul Sartre existed for a reason.

So what now ?
You live your best life.
What that means for you, and the balances involved, you'll have to work out for yourself. The journey is the destination.
