There's a way around having to pay for apps. I never pay for them. If you are willing to take occasional polls and to install an app developed by Google called Google Opinion Rewards you will earn play store credit that you can use to pay for anything available there. All of the apps that I have that have a paid version, I have, and didn't pay a dime for any of them. While typing this comment I answered a survey, just one question, and earned $0.10. It seems like not much, but some surveys pay as much as a dollar. Last year I built up a balance of over $75 and ended up using most of it to buy some movies for my wife. Right now my balance is $16.97. Just something to think about.

Wow. Long link is long! And this is only one example of course. And they were stripped of the medal after it was decided he was a man in the rules of the sport.

Well, maybe one day you'll find something you like. I find my reader to be almost exactly the same as a paper book, minus the smell and the stains (my reader can be wiped with disinfectant). I change the formatting so it looks good, and I can bump text size for low light conditions. I can highlight, bookmark and add notes. I can share books, get tons of old books for free, buy books, pirate them, borrow them from the library (I can check them out online).

If you do ever reconsider using an electronic reader, make sure to get Calibre for your computer - it's free and allows you to convert any format to your reader. It's got tools for everything - it's way better than the software for specific readers. https://calibre-ebook.com/

I wanted to be a preacher as my first plan for being grown up. I read the bible and watched all the time as the people in church would behave nothing like Jesus taught. It wasn't until I was going through a divorce that a question from a friend prompted me to question everything I believed. That was in 1998. Through a process of discovering the loving side of Christianity (it has never been mainstream), to Humanism, to Buddhism (Theravada), that found the courage to admit there is no god out there and all of religion, as practiced, is made up, in Jan 2005. I still think that there is an awareness, best described in Theravada or Zen Buddhism, of one's self (Sam Harris describes this very well). Most all people never question their conditioning, they just carry out their programming.

The question that started my journey as "is your divorce biblical?". I knew it was but went the library and on display was a book "Finding Your Religion <https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Your-Religion-Faith-Meaning/dp/0060653469&gt;. That book referenced other books and this took me on the original message of christianity and it wasn't about blind authority. As I read the referenced books on Buddhism, this made more sense to me, as did the books on Humanism.

Thus, I am now a Humanist, Buddhist, Atheist.

I do see so much misunderstanding of Buddhism in the Atheist community. Eastern philosophy is much different from the Authoritarian Western philosophy.

This is my story.
