Aaron S. (USA) replied to Tom Sarbeck's discussion Men have sex and women make love. Or do they? in the group Secular Sexuality
"I do think that the two different terms have differing connotations, but they're mostly synonymous. "Making love" sounds more smarmy to me than "having sex" but there's no reason IMO to require one over the…"

"I left my parent's fundamentalist church/cult before I could learn anything about the temple rituals, but I know the stuff about Native Americans being from Israel is complete bullcrap. There's obviously no reference to it in the Christian…"

Aaron S. (USA) replied to Loren Miller's discussion Episcopal Church becomes biggest US church to bless gay unions (MSNBC) in the group Atheist News
"One of my friends spoke up at this conference. I'm really proud of her :) Though, at the same time, it's sad that it even needs to be done in the first place."

Sentient Biped replied to Aaron S. (USA)'s discussion It's Official, Jesus Doesn't Heal Cancer in the group Atheist News
"Well, if Jesus doesn't heal cancer, exactly what does he do?  Next you'll be saying he doesn't heal amputees either."

Loren Miller replied to Aaron S. (USA)'s discussion It's Official, Jesus Doesn't Heal Cancer in the group Atheist News
""A message of hope"?!?  More like "a wild, arrogant, unverifiable statement, whose hope is false and presumes a completely undemonstrated capacity."  Jesus never so much as cured a hangnail, never mind cancer.  The…"

It's Official, Jesus Doesn't Heal Cancer

"The New Zealand Advertising Standards Authority made a no-brainer of a decision earlier this week when they determined that a church billboard reading, “Jesus Heals Cancer,” violates advertising standards.Thank you, Captain Obvious!According to The New Zealand Herald:The [ASA] complaints board acknowledged the church had no intention of causing offence with the billboard and instead wanted…See More

Michael OL replied to Aaron S. (USA)'s discussion What's a good job for an INTP? in the group INTP-ers
"It does indeed make sense.  I am not a teacher, but as part of my job, I occasionally lecture to groups of students or similar audiences.  As an introvert, I don't really "connect" with the audience, but instead focus on…"

Aaron S. (USA) replied to Steph S.'s discussion PETA's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad History of Killing Animals in the group HUMANE ATHEISTS
"I did a little reading on this before and from what I gathered, the 2.5% figure for PETA is the very lowest it had and the 44% figure by the Virginia shelters was an all-time high, with average figures closer to double or triple that for PETA and…"

It's no problem dude. Honestly I just love to debate.

You're probably right about us all being nerds here. Although, I tend to think of myself more as a geek, but the point remains valid. I'm not specifically trying to persuade nontheists of my views. I actually spend most of the time offline trying to persuade the "spiritual but not religious" crowd. They're usually my target market and I slowly dissuade them from supernaturalism of the various types. Although, I guess they too are a little turned off by the word religion. They generally agree that it is the level of organization, the form if you will, and not the content that defines religion.

As I say this, I realize that you might be right after all. I guess I am trying to persuade people generally that have been turned off by religion, because those that are happy with religion or seldom in the market for a new one, even a nonsupernaturalist one.

Thanks for the insight.

No, don't worry about it... it was appreciated. ^^

Ah, thanks for the correction. :) It was my assumption that atheists tend to be more skeptical.....or at least the ones who seek out other atheists to have discussions with.

The friend I was referring to in my story is actually atheistic towards the Christian god but still believes in the existence of souls and ghosts...I find that most people on these atheist websites are skeptical towards those types of things as well.

When I tell some people that I'm a skeptic, they assume that I mean "conspiracy theorist". Hahahaha.

Aaron, thank you for your comments. Your opinions were quite valid and I appreciate you taking the time to weigh in.
