Do you have evidence for that scepticism? Is this the right room for an argument?

I have an idea but I doubt your husband will like it very much.

Hello to you.

Hello!

My fiance was almost Catholic. Whew, avoided that one! And he ended up deconverting me. A funny world. "3

RE: A newbie!
Hi Skye! If you're serious about marrying a Cathoholic, you should have an understanding up front as to how the kids will be raised. If hubby wants to dump water on the baby's head and you object on the grounds that it's a silly, superstitious ritual, problems could arise.

Welcome!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Pay no attention to the other resident nutters behind the curtain and let this resident nutter bid thee welcome, Skyeblue (nice name, btw).

I've told you once...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

As a near newbie myself to this forum, welcome.
"Religion is comparable to Childhood neurosis" Sigmond Freud

"If one wishes to form a true estimate of the full grandeur of religion, one must keep in mind what it undertakes to do for men. It gives them information about the source and origin of the universe, it assures them of protection and final happiness amid the changing vicissitudes of life, and it guides their thoughts and motions by means of precepts which are backed by the whole force of its authority."

SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis

"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."

SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis

"Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck." George Carlin

"The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation." Elizabeth Cady Stanton - American Suffragist (1815-1902)

"Who loves kitty" Robin Williams live on Broadway DVD

"You cannot petition the lord with prayer" Jim Morrison The Soft Parade.
