Who wants to moderate this community? Please take it over.
Just to be clear, I'm still an atheist. I did not suddenly become religious. However, I don't feel like moderating this community anymore and have not been present in it for a long time. It's no longer my style to be honest. ... read full post

"Atheists are so mean!"
A common trope I see in atheist circles are people (often claiming to be atheists themselves, and I'm sure many genuinely are) going around chiding other atheists for being mean, rude, or otherwise disrespectful to believers. It's counterproductive! It doesn't work! It paints us in a bad light! ... read full post

Dr. Myers can't seem to find a definition of love that allows him to justify believing in it versus a god because he says it's too ephemeral. But I don't think that's true. We can measure it in the release of hormones and watch our minds react to it in MRI. We can see it in our behavior and in the behavior of those who love us.

Self-Flagellation and the Excruciating Kiss of Jesus –Mother Teresa’s Attraction to Pain
https://valerietarico.com/2013/04/29/self-flagellation-and-the-kiss-of-jesus-mother-teresas-attraction-to-pain/I absolutely love this quote:
One day I met a lady who was dying of cancer in a most terrible condition. And I told her, I say, “You know, this terrible pain is only the kiss of Jesus — a sign that you have come so close to Jesus on the cross that he can kiss you.” And she joined her hands together and said, “Mother Teresa, please tell Jesus to stop kissing me.”
