Thor, I have been waiting for you for so long.....

It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

There are several Thor's you know. Get busy. He tends to peter out early.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Not believing in fairy tales means not using critical thinking? So. . . do I have to believe in the tooth fairy, too, or just the genocidal God who "is love"?

You just had to wake up, CL, didn't you?
Now you really are a chew toy.
For the record, CL is the type of theist we like. She's here to talk, not to convert.
She accepts us for who we are and we accept her for who she is.

I did until she pooped on everything to mark her territory. That's just uncalled for.
And then there was that one time at band camp...
