Welcome!
I'm the guy that will try to convince you to come visit Portugal, the best country in the world... Nay, the greatest country in the world! No need to make it great again! Tongue
Also, while you're at it, bring your sister. Wink


And if you can't make it to Portugal you owe it to yourself to at least learn to make the food. Especially the cookie cake!

Bon jour.

I'm very proud of the French since they showed they were a smarter electorate than us.

Eager to learn more about you and of course any dirt on Jack you'd care to share.  Jack tells us she started out as a firm believer, you too?  Many of us here did.  On the other hand, maybe you still are - nothing wrong with that if so.  Of course there are more and less cool ways to carry yourself as a believer in the world.  Being Jack's brother you'd probably be one of the good ones.

Hi, thanks for the welcome. I'm the youngest of three. I was raised in a protestant home and was deeply religious up until I was 21 years old. Even though I am no longer a "believer", I hold my religious upbringing as something very possitive. I still read the Bible (The Spanish version Reina-Valera 1960 is a literary jewel) and am very interested in learning about the different religions of the world. Some days I like to sit down alone and drink a beer while I listen to Ella fitzgerald's spirituals. I believe that religion, dispite all of the horrendous manifistations it's had throughout history, is also something way more deep and complex than simply a set of supersticious beliefs. It's deeply embedded in the human psyche and has had a positive influence in many people. Maybe I'm just too nostalgic. LOL! Greetings.

Welcome. Do you like bacon?

It's the most exquisite food on the planet. Wink

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Welcome! Hope you're not boiling and dodging rattlesnakes yet (maybe you don't live in western AZ, though. But still, stay cool and don't step on any snakes. Good advice for anybody.).

I was right about you. The best theists don't believe outlandish things simplistically. I'm sure if you bring your full intellect and feeling to bear on the bible with an open mind you could find meaning there as easily as anywhere else, and make a good life. No one should expect more.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Didn't somebody make the bible a giant "seek and find" puzzle?
