Never been a theist, so I have no conversion story. But I'm very interested in philosophy, rational arguments, and exploring the natural universe (which is more than fascinating enough without adding supernatural fictions). I want to know the world as it is, not as I wish it to be, and look forward to exploring deep questions with like-minded individuals.

Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission and rip the tags off of your mattress.

Booze to your left, pot to your right if you are into that, not me but, and nudity behind the door at the end of the hallway. You have entered The No Smite Zone.

Welcome to our little area of time and space

I hope you enjoy the forum! We like talking about all that stuff.

Welcome, share and enjoy...

BTW, are you a Time Traveler from past or future?
If the latter, can you fill me in on the specifics of the NASDAQ for the remainder of 2016....please?

I successfully travel from past to future at a very steady pace. However, according to General Relativity, living in the Mile High city my clock ticks ever-so slightly faster than those at sea level. So, if you live at a lower altitude and want to know what's coming, I'll be happy to share my perspective from 0.0000000000000000000000000001 seconds (give or take) in the future so that you can plan your stock transactions accordingly. (I charge a very reasonable 10% commission on all profits.)

Welcome!

Sorry, I live in the shallow end of the thought pool.

Thanks for posting the New Members guide! I don't do a lot with forums, so I find it very helpful. (Especially the 30 days/ 30 posts rule, something which may have frustrated me given that I like to link to various sources to back up arguments I might make.)

Welcome aboard.

Darn, I at least need a few milliseconds.
It could still work if you compensate me for 110% of my losses.

Sadly, the strict rules of the Time Traveler's Consortium forbid sharing in any financial losses. Damn bylaws!
