Homosexual Liberal Atheists ~ What's UP with that?



Recommended Posts

Hey Bubble, I gotta tell you that I really enjoy your posts. I feel like you and I share many of the same viewpoints. Maybe not 100%, but that's what makes it so interesting. When I see it's you who has posted, I always take the time to read it, as well as TOMs, TommyO's, Green's, laurend's, lethea gs, geezersue's, and others... even Ron's. His language can be so colorful, in a condesending way. :help: :embarassed:

I guess it must be because we were both born Roman Catholic and have the RC chromosome.

The coalition of great thinkers: Catholics, Atheists, and homosexuals. Talk about your unlikely bed-fellows!!!!

Hey Carlene...

Up until about a month ago I moderated a Catholic forum! I may not agree with them but I have a certain amount of respect for them and nobody messed with my Catholics! Seriously, it was their forum. Challenging them is one thing, slam dunking them for being Catholic meant this atheist chewed 'em up like a chew toy and spit them out when their squeaker was gone.

There are certain advantages to being a fundie turned atheist. LOL

Carlene: That IS funny! One night 4 couples of us went to a Gentlemen's Club in Orlando because all but one of us women had never been to one. The blond I told you about, got her husband to buy me a lap dance. I had no idea what was happening. I didn't know what a lap dance was. I'm sure they all got a huge kick out of the look on my face. It's funny though, the young girl and I started talking and she must have spent 15 minutes telling us all about herself. I think the guys just like to objectify the girls in their minds, not get to know them. I'm pretty sure I have a good idea of how your daughter felt.

I feel the same way about many other "groups", including Jews, LDS, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Atheists. The only Christians I lack respect for are the ones who proclaim loud and long that no one else is going to heaven. I have no problem with their beliefs....only with their actions.

No, that's not accurate. I stated that wrong. I was a firm God fearing Christian that read the bible and I could no longer accept Christianity as truth. I read the bible, studied the history and for ME it was quite impossible. I finally recognized the fact that no matter how hard I tried to play mind games with myself I just wasn't a Christian, I couldn't believe. I tried and tried, but I knew too much. I knew how Christianity came to be and I understood how it grew.

I didn't "decide" one day to be an atheist, I came to understand and accept it. Big difference from what I wrote in the previous post.

Aaahhh - fundamentalist - muchas gracias... ooops, sorry I forgot to whom I was speaking. I mean, thank you!! (I don't actually speak Spanish, it's just something we do here in Tejas) (not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Yeah, I occasionally read the blog of a stripper that posts at some of the communities that I frequent. It's amazing some of the crap the "customers" put her through. A large percentage apparently think that her being a stripper gives them the right to request anything from her or do anything to her.

Tejas.. I like that a great deal!!!

Does that mean like AZ you don't know if you are part of the US or Mexico?

Yeah, like a $10 tip entitles you to a free ride - if you'll pardon the expression.

Oooops. I think it's getting late. The next thing I know I'll be getting myself into real trouble. I better sign off.

Bubble- most people do think that TEJAS refers to the Mexican influence, but we toured something or other in San Antonio and they told us that using the word Tejas didn't originate from Mexican influence.

Carlene could probably enlighten us further. I'm not a real Texan. Only married one and hopefully that stuff doesn't rub off on me with any regularlity. I'm from Oklahoma and proud of it. Although I try not to proclaim that aloud around here. There is some cowboy discrimination here against us redskins. And many of those ya-hoos pack pistols!

Bubble: I've also lived in Arizona. Where I lived was influenced much more by the wild west and Geronimo than by Mexico. We lived in Sierra Vista for 5.5 years. God's country for sure! High desert, best climate in captivity! That was many years ago and I miss it to this day! Gotta tell you though, I do not miss the taxes in Arizona!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
