  • My secular morality is my secular ethics and my secular ethics are my secular morality!

    "Freethought is a philosophical viewpoint that holds that opinions should be formed on the basis of science, logic, and reason, and should not be influenced by authority, tradition, or other dogmas. Freethinkers strive to build their opinions on the basis of facts, scientific inquiry, and logical principles, independent of any logical fallacies or intellectually limiting effects of authority, confirmation bias, cognitive bias, conventional wisdom, popular culture, prejudice, sectarianism, tradition, urban legend, and all other dogmas."

  • I am a flawless lover!

    "4. Neatness

    The sexy shape is not the only thing that automatically makes you a good lover. First of all, it is necessary to stick to simple rules of hygiene. If you neglect this basic rule, your sexual life will be unsuccessful, and your reputation will be broken.

    Perfect sex partner does not use aphrodisiacal fragrances to cover up an unpleasant body odor. They are always fresh as if they have just taken a shower. They always get rid of unwanted body hair to enhance the comfort level and make intimacy unbelievably enjoyable."

    "5. Learnability and openness

    Sex is a physical and emotional contact that requires certain skills. If you want to improve your intimacy, you should learn more and more about it. Try to make learnability and openness your priorities. Don’t think that everything is already known to everybody about sex. You should explore your partner’s interests, desires, preferences and talk about them once in a while."

  • I stay fully free at last from organized crime!
    "Street gangs are gangs formed by youths in urban areas, and are known primarily for street fighting and gang warfare.[29] The term "street gang" is commonly used interchangeably with "youth gang", referring to neighborhood or street-based youth groups that meet "gang" criteria.[30] Miller (1992) defines a street gang as "a self-formed association of peers, united by mutual interests, with identifiable leadership and internal organization, who act collectively or as individuals to achieve specific purposes, including the conduct of illegal activity and control of a particular territory, facility, or enterprise."[31] Some of the well-known ones are the Black gangs like the Bloods and the Crips, also the Vice Lords and the Gangster Disciples. Other racial gangs also exist like the Trinitario, Sureños, Tiny Rascal Gang, Asian Boyz, Wa Ching, Zoe Pound, The Latin Kings, The Hammerskins, Nazi Lowriders and Blood & Honour." The DC gangs would play G-Funk and all music (the uncensored versions.) Link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-funk. As a child, I was forced to be profane, mean, loud, aggressive, and violent by the DC gangs. I was strictly and only each of these adjectives when actual injustice was afoot.

  • Within my childhood, I identified the Sex Trafficking Victims and Perpetrators within the organized crime in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area!
    "Many people don’t fully understand what sex trafficking is, and with all the misconceptions about it, it can be very hard to identify victims and traffickers. There is no specific stereotype or trait to look for when it comes to trying to identify perpetrators or victims of these crimes. For instance, many don’t suspect women to be sex traffickers, when oftentimes a woman is the one running these teams of sex traffickers. Although there are no characteristics or physical traits to victims and perpetrators, there are a few things that you should look out for in case you spot a vulnerable victim and a trafficker that might take advantage of their vulnerability. Let’s take a look.
    Victims
    The majority of victims of sex trafficking are young girls that had previously fled violent or abusive situations. This can be anyone. Victims don’t necessarily have to be female, either, though the majority of them are. If someone looks vulnerable, they might be susceptible to traffickers and their abuse. Anyone can fall prey to sex trafficking, but most of the time, it will be someone who is defenseless and, in a situation, where they are left vulnerable. Traffickers will do their research on these people before approaching them. In order to identify whether or not a victim is being trafficked, you will want to look at those who are vulnerable because of mental or physical disability, homelessness, poverty, violence, and substance abuse. Traffickers will prey on anyone who hopes for a better life and has nowhere else to go. When it comes to the ages of these victims, pre-teen or adolescent girls are more susceptible to sex traffickers, but that does not mean that other ages or sexes are not as vulnerable. These pimps will often frequent schools, malls, parks, bus stops, and even group homes. If you see someone younger who shows signs of physical abuse, has unexplained absences, displays sexualized behavior, dresses inappropriately, is depressed, is distracted, wears expensive clothes, has a lot of money, is branded with a tattoo, has an older boyfriend, and constantly talks about parties, they might be a victim of sex trafficking.
    Traffickers
    These victims are targeted and picked up by traffickers who coerce them into performing sex acts in return for food and shelter. Some traffickers will recruit these victims by getting friendly with them at malls. According to evidence, traffickers will use drugs, force, or emotional and financial tactics in order to lure in and control their victims. They will often try to form strong bonds with these girls by claiming that they love or need them, saying that these sex acts will allow a good future with the trafficker. Some may even promise marriage as well as other emotional bonds that these young women have never felt in their lives in order to lure them in. Some traffickers will resort to physical and sexual abuse in order to keep these youths under their control. Others might use drugs or alcohol while taking all their forms of identity so that these victims have nowhere to go but themselves. Some victims managed to escape their captors only to come back because they didn’t have anyone to go to. Traffickers will often prey on runaway or at-risk youth, and they are good at manipulating, deceiving, and controlling child victims.
    This type of abuse doesn’t have to be as prominent as it is today."  Link: https://awakenreno.org/identifying-sex-trafficking-victims-and-perpetrators/#:~:text=If%20you%20see%20someone%20younger,parties%2C%20they%20might%20be%20a and https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/438133/remembering-fat-rodney/.  “Yesterday marked the twentieth anniversary of rapper Fat Rodney’s tragic murder. Frequently heralded as one of most memorable emcees to ever rock the Go-Gos, Rodney’s life was taken from him at just 21 years old in 1989. So as he walked through the door, everybody was yelling his chant. “What you gonna do, Fat Rodney?!”

  • My compassionate sex and my compassionate sexuality in porn and outside of porn!
    “Everyone has kinks and fantasies
    It is essential to communicate with your partner and to establish what each of you likes, what is off limits and what is not. Throughout your sexual life you may have been asked to do things you normally would not have ever considered and you also might be pleasantly surprised about what your partner might be open to doing. So you may as well ask the question. Suddenly surprising your partner is not always a good idea. Everyone has their ideal fantasy sexual scenario and those special kinks and it is just a case of finding out what they are. It goes without saying trying them out should be totally consensual.”

  • I am a Democratic Secular Humanist Unitarian Universalist!
    “Council for Secular Humanism
    According to the Council for Secular Humanism, within the United States, the term "secular humanism" describes a world view with the following elements and principles:[8]
    Need to test beliefs – A conviction that dogmas, ideologies and traditions, whether religious, political or social, must be weighed and tested by each individual and not simply accepted by faith.
    Reason, evidence, scientific method – A commitment to the use of critical reason, factual evidence and scientific method of inquiry in seeking solutions to human problems and answers to important human questions.
    Fulfillment, growth, creativity – A primary concern with fulfillment, growth and creativity for both the individual and humankind in general.
    Search for truth – A constant search for objective truth, with the understanding that new knowledge and experience constantly alter our imperfect perception of it.
    This life – A concern for this life (as opposed to an afterlife) and a commitment to making it meaningful through better understanding of ourselves, our history, our intellectual and artistic achievements, and the outlooks of those who differ from us.
    Ethics – A search for viable individual, social and political principles of ethical conduct, judging them on their ability to enhance human well-being and individual responsibility.

  • My childhood comprehension of “sin”
    “The seven deadly sins, also known as the capital vices or cardinal sins, is a grouping and classification of vices within Christian teachings.[1] Although they are not directly mentioned in the Bible, there are parallels with the seven things God is said to hate in the Book of Proverbs. Behaviours or habits are classified under this category if they directly give rise to other immoralities.[2] According to the standard list, they are pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth,[2] which are contrary to the seven capital virtues.” Link: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1989/06/12/dc-rap-artist-slain-outside-md-skating-rink/83592629-c8d7-415b-bd15-1924df24cb35/. “A well-known District rap artist was fatally shot early yesterday at the Crystal Skate roller rink in Temple Hills, the site of two other slayings during the past 18 months and the source of political debate in Prince George's County. Rodney Tyrone Martin, also known as "Fat Rodney," 21, of the 300 block of P Street NW, was caught in a spray of gunfire just before the rink's 1 a.m. closing as he left the building with about 75 other people, Prince George's police said.”

  • My inner child does experience all of the variations and typologies of theism and God belief!
    “Paul describes love in 1 Corinthians 13:4–8:[9].
    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.” As a child, I lived by all of the above.

  • Sometimes I experience all of the typologies of atheism and all of the typologies of Agnosticism!
    Sometimes I experience both of these types of Agnosticism. I experience weak Agnosticism the most. I am not saying that agnostics are morally weak. “Strong agnosticism (also called "hard", "closed", "strict", or "permanent agnosticism")
    The view that the question of the existence or nonexistence of a deity or deities, and the nature of ultimate reality is unknowable by reason of our natural inability to verify any experience with anything but another subjective experience. A strong agnostic would say, "I cannot know whether a deity exists or not, and neither can you."[29][30][31]
    Weak agnosticism (also called "soft", "open", "empirical", or "temporal agnosticism")
    The view that the existence or nonexistence of any deities is currently unknown but is not necessarily unknowable; therefore, one will withhold judgment until evidence, if any, becomes available. A weak agnostic would say, "I don't know whether any deities exist or not, but maybe one day, if there is evidence, we can find something out."[29][30][31].”

  • The Unitarian Universalist Irreligious Jesus-A Character Study
    "Thoughts for Parents

    One of the seven principles that Unitarian Universalists affirm and promote is "a free and responsible search for truth and meaning." We believe this is as important for our children as it is for adults. Since children absorb their religious understandings in terms that are unique to their stage of development, we as adults must be sensitive to their evolving sense of the holy. We have much to learn from our children, for their spiritual language and images seem to flow so smoothly between the concrete and the ethereal.

    "Enjoy your child's personal philosophy as it unfolds," says child-study professor George Scarlett of Tufts University. "Listen to the child's thoughts about God. Try to understand and show respect for their ideas, even while sharing your own. The point is to keep a dialogue about spiritual matters going."

    Harold Howe, the former U.S. commissioner of education and a Unitarian Universalist, jotted these words to his minister at church one day: "Here's a definition of a Unitarian Universalist: a person who can ask children, 'What is God?' and listen seriously to their replies. P.S.: I once went to Sunday school for about 7 years, but no one asked me 'What is God?' Instead, they told me."

    Unitarian Universalists find value in listening to what our children are saying about God.

    The children's words and illustrations were contributed by grade school students in religious education classes from the First Universalist Church in Minneapolis, MN; the First Unitarian Church in Memphis, TN; the Unitarian Universalist churches in Sarasota, FL and in Olinda, Ontario; and the First Parish churches in Concord and Milton, MA."
