In other words I love to write stuff. I don't understand where the fu** to end paragraphs I just guess and fit them. Someone posted something about how church is essential LOL.
Not even close, we should keep away from each other. Besides church should be the least of their problems. But I think it is a bad idea. Of course I feel like that part of my life is wasted.
I spent a lot of time praying to a non-existent god. Shame I can not get those years back.
I might've spent them doing something else. So I write stories about sexual stuff. I love it, and where I share it they like it too.

" I don't understand where the fu** to end paragraphs'
I was taught that a change of an idea or topic needs a new paragraph. I've become lazy over the years and now just split my text up whenever I feel like it. I do that to avoid the wall of text I dislike so much. To be honest, I rarely read all of a post when presented with one long body with no paragraphs. I figure others would do the same if I wrote the same way.
---There is ONE exception; I always enjoy Cal's long posts because of his erudition, lucidity of thought , clarity of expression and often exquisite use of language. Besides, he uses paragraphs.
Regardless, there are no grammar police here, so write what you like.

@Whitefire Re: "you need this badge to be a

Actually, I was thinking something more along the lines of an ID badge around my neck stating, "Gramer Poleese. Stop or eye'll chute." But it would have to be all official-looking and have my photo on it, of course.
@Fievel: Someone posted something about how church is essential
Absolutely right. You can't have a really good pandemic without churches. During the various plagues in Europe, people huddled together to share breath, sweat, coughs, and vermin in airless church interiors heated by bodies and candles. Some of those people are still there in the church yards.
@Algebe: Also, what good is a plague without the religious standing on street corners, screaming, "Repent or Die! The End Is Here! We're all DOOMED!"
...oh COG... I miss those days :(

@White: And do you remembered how justified you felt? How evil was around every corner and it was only the hand of god that kept you safe? Remember how anything good that happened was a miracle and the bad things were always the hand of the evil one. Temptation was everywhere and Jesus was your protector. Yes yes yes.... the good old days.
Of course you and your Church was always bound for hell for their heathen ways, foolish beliefs and false prophets. The Assemblies of God was the only true representative of the All Mighty here on earth. "Make a Joyful Noise Unto the Lord!" Amen.
Cog... absolutely (except for the last paragraph! I had the truth!!! Monkey brain)
I was like Noah, preaching to the wicked, hoping someone would enter the ark before it was too late!
“... how anything good that happened was a miracle and the bad things were always the hand of the evil one...”. OR it could have been
How anything good was Satan tempting and the bad things were a test from God.
Depended on who was experiencing the good/evil at the time...
I suppose churches will keep all the bodies together so a mass grave can be nearby. Beyond that they offer the same protection from viruses that they do from earthquakes, tsunamis and tornadoes, which is to say fuck all. Not unlike the wasted prayers theists are now suggesting we resort to, if I was an epidemiologist or virologist, I might be rolling my fucking eyes and wondering why I bother.
I mean if prayers were any fucking use one assumes some devoutly superstitious theist would have had the sense to pray for it all to instantly stop...well has it?
So the deal is they pray away while mass graves get larger, and then when science yields a cure they thank god for it ffs...
You can't dent that kind of blinkered closed minded faith...facts just bead up and roll off it.
If I see one person with a placard or sandwich board claiming it's God's wrath, I swear I'll breach the 2m social distancing rule, albeit briefly...cunts.
@heldon: Some famous Buddhist asshole just died and the temples were full of meditating Buddhists. TV news shows them all sitting in their temples, not more than 2 feet between them, giving speeches, breathing on one another, many wearing useless masks that would not protect from a viral infection in a billion years. There they all are, wasting breath and chanting to Lord Buddha as they spread Covid 19. The Christians do not have the market on stupidity surrounded yet ; we know they are trying, but the Buddhists in Asia are giving them a run for their money. Who do you think will EXTINCT themselves first???
@Cognostic
" Who do you think will EXTINCT themselves first???"
Good question. Have no idea nor do I care very much. Not because I'm indifferent. I am not. It's because of my conviction that religions are universal because they meet important human needs.
The Egyptian religion with its very creative pantheon of gods, lasted for over 3000 years. In Egypt, the native religion was replaced by Coptic christianity and Islam . In due course, they too will fade away .(assuming humanity survives long enough)
Today's major world religions will eventually be replaced. They may be replaced with even more idiotic beliefs or absorbed into a secular hedonistic society. EG Japan is moving that way with its pragmatic mix of Buddhism and Shinto. Australia is moving away from religion entirely, but we have sports to replace it.
If new totalitarian states emerge, religions may be mostly replaced by personality cults, as in Stalinist Russia, Maoist China or currently in North Korea. Imo religion will never go extinct and simply leave a vacuum.
As far as I can see, neither Buddhism or Christianity is in any danger of going extinct any time soon.
