Morons: Terrible bane or lifeblood of the forum?

[Ahriman]

I suppose you could be a knitting gear head because there is not conflict there, but you really can't be theist and atheist at the same time.

Yes and no.  When I was still Hindu, I was one of the most atheistic, secular Hindus you would be likely to meet.  And my local UU church, while at some level associated with matters of the human spirit, is known as the most atheist UU church in the Twin Cities.

You can't be an "atheistic, secular" Hindu. You either believe in the gods of Hinduism and accept the spiritual implications of that belief, or you don't.
