Hi all, just joined. Started reading some things here, and while I wasn't a devout Christian by any stretch, some disturbing developments at the church really opened my eyes. I might be sharing the details in the Convert's Corner.Big Grin

SW .. now there's an unfortunate acronym for another user's nick... a creationist, of all people!

Anyway, welcome Dave!

Welcome! If there is a god (I don't think so but assuming there is) he gave you brain. I'd think he'd expect you to use it. Questioning should be encouraged. I look forward to hearing from you again in convert's corner.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

OMG those are epic! They sell those candies in bulk down the street below the budget/indie movie theater I frequent. Never seen them used in cookies.

Beats my stash of triple berry Newtons to shame.
