Community help for Non-Cognitive?

RE: Community help for Non-Cognitive?

I think the line between cognitive and non-cognitive atheism is too subtle and complex to explain to others.

I think you may be completely correct; normally I can get away with a more lightweight description but at some point the questions come up and I'll want to be able to explain myself.

The links to the Houston group are very interesting. I'm in Texas myself.

Thanks Mr. Al!

But that would take a blog to explain... Don't know if I want to make you feel that much safer yet... :-).

Sorry ap; I was being sarcastic related to your previous Hudson quote: "He's going to start a blog. I feel safer already."
(Sometimes I don't even get my own humor..)

Like most things not closely examined my prose and emotional vocabulary needs some work is all. And I ramble but I like my first bit: http://muscularatheist.blogspot.com/

Now that's something I could have actually been useful for! I've got miles of cable.
