Quote:It is hard to keep the reasonable stuff, strip away the bullshit and get it all in one go. I think of it like dandruff - it takes care and work to keep it at a minimum, knowing the proclivity for humans to draw baseless conclusions. I guess, by extension of that analogy, free thought is a good head of hair, well taken care of.
Yes, thats true! Although I left the RCC at 16 there is so much that you still have in your head! That there is something 'out there' worth praying to from time to time! Then slowly I learned rational thought and realised that it is a ridiculous concept, when you think logically about it! I tried looking into Pagansim (sorry Pagans) for a while, but that didn't seem real to me either.
I always thought that the OT was myth anyway, and began to listen to podcasts from various atheist groups that made me also realise that I agreed with them, that the NT was myth as well.
Liberating thoughts, and I thank them for it!
Nice to meet you all, and sorry if I am waffling!
The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it. Terry Pratchett
