Howdy Folks
September 22, 2014 at 10:14 am
I am Rogue. I am here as a middle man. I am not atheist. I am NOT religious. I am spiritual.
I do not judge and I do not preach.
I believe in a Higher Power. I do not know what this Power is, I have an idea on where it came from.
I believe in the human Spirit. I believe our spirit connects us to this Power.
I am open to any and all questions. 
Nice to meet you all. I look forward to our future conversations.
Belief in a Cruel God makes a Crueler Man. Thomas Paine with minor edit crueler instead of cruel.

Oooookayyy, I'll play ... are you a cross dresser, shape shifter, claiming to be some inter-dimensional creature out to enlighten us poor mortals, or figure you know more about the cosmos than has been discovered by most of humanity over the last 10,000 years or so?
Let's see just how crazy you are first then, maybe, it will be worth seeing if you have anything interesting to say.

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Funny, I despise woo but would also say there is more to our consciousness than meets the eye. I see that 'more' as not conscious, not precisely person-like and essentially other than what I think of as me. So, kettle, I'll keep my woo-comments to myself if only to avoid putting my pot in a bad light.
Welcome.

Hello Rogue. Welcome to AF
I don't speak for all atheists here, but I imagine you won't be received as the middleman. Believing in a "Higher Power" places you squarely in the "I believe in something without evidence" category. But this isn't to say you won't be well received. Again I say 
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
