New here - hello!

Hi all!
I'm new here, and thought I would introduce myself. I'm an ex-Christian (for about ten years now). I teach sociology of religion, among other things, at a university. I'm married, no kids, and like to listen to and play music. Sometimes I get bored and go searching for forums....my overarching philosophy is Dinner. That's what makes the world go 'round. I also like to cook.

Welcome Woof.

Does dinner occasionally include rabbits?

Welcome!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
