Yes, not only do I seek sanctuary, but I also seek those who will assist in the deprogramming of our dearly beloved Uncle Sam! Please join me!
Oh, was that to extreme an intro? Sorry folks, what can I say just having an attention ho moment!
Actually I've been on the atheist/agnostic cusp which began when I was 10. What do you mean that intellectually challenged kids are going to hell?
I've been reviewing the board and it has given me hope as I see true evidence of something I thought was gone from America forever and ever and ever and that is open minds!
If you've stayed with me this long, thank you and I'm looking forward to some great conversations!
What can I say, I'm glad you decided to join the living. I hope a few more of our friends show up, and those "others" stay where they belong. Welcome, erm, Lily.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
