Hello Fellow Thinkers!
October 20, 2024 at 11:27 am
I started reading the posts as a guest and found the discussions interesting, so here I am officially.
A short introduction about me...
I rejected religion at age 8 when I quit Sunday school at the largest Baptist church in our area. Started reading Kafka, Sartre & Camus in junior high and went on to a degree in Philosophy at university with a focus on Existentialism.
Then had a breakdown and had to learn how to read & write all over again...
I'm old now and a shell of my previous self, but I still enjoy discussions and like reading what others have to say, as long as it involves an actual thought process. I get easily frustrated at the sheer stupidity of most people these days and how utterly vacuous we've become as a society of blind believers. Ugh *looking for smiley bashing head against a wall*
So, ummm....hi?
It will all be over soon...

Greetings and gruntings, welcome to the mad house!

Canada, but as a telling sign of the times, that same church that loomed over the town i grew up in has now been turned into condominiums.
A small victory for our side? Although the "evil" of real estate developers can perhaps be food for another thread
It will all be over soon...

Welcome!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Welcome Woof.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Greetings.
