    Nothing against the first two, but I’m also one that can definitely understand the remaining 59! A lot of truth to those.

    I had no idea that atheists had such short attention spans.

    Could you not have mentally substituted something like, “Engage each other in discussions about the meaning of life and how to find fulfillment through service to others?”

    LOL, I was going to say something.

    I don’t understand atheists, because they seem to fight very hard and stand for nothing.

    Seriously I don’t know why they (I should say some) are so antagonistic.

    I was going to become an extremist about nothing once, but I decided to become a moderate about something instead. Prayer is good, even if you call it meditation.
