"I think by the grammer, part of what you said could be taken the opposite of what you mean. "I don't like all atheists simply because they are atheist." Really? What have you got against atheism? I think I know what you really mean by…"

"If someone told me they were a Laveyan atheist, my first impression would be intrigue, because there are so few around; next I would try to find out if they were true to the 'religion' or not, basically to find out if they were just saying…"

"Well I think you are somewhat misinformed at to the scope and practical realities of political campaigning, and too fast to rush to conclusions. First of all libertarianism as a philosophy does not make a distinction of domestic law: all anti-gay…"

"Shannon: Well that is wrong from a libertarian POV. It is not an issue with libertarianism, it is an issue with the idiocy that make people not respect the individuality of others. As to coming off in a negative way, by now I would hope you…"

"Shannon: At this point, I don't care - I am who I am, what can you do? I am sure there is a lady out there who is a perfect match for me. And . . libertarians DO NOT take a states rights approach on liberties, including gay…"

"Shannon: Great!!! That is the answer I was looking for!!! I didn't want to feed you any suggestions, I really wanted to know what you thought w/o any further thought. That's why I was a little cagey. It is amazing you think that…"

"Really? You know if you microanalyse anything with a chip on your shoulder you are bound to find what you are looking for. I am 45 and I would prefer 25 to 38? And beautiful inside and out? That is offputting? Maybe that is my mistake in being so…"

"I am 45, a really nice person, yup of course an atheist, own my own business (computer repair). Have a couple houses. Like a lot of atheists, I love philosophy and science, I am a mensa member just for the sake of it, and I am a libertarian. I am…"

"Ok, I don't get it. 1. Which person doesn't know the difference (Joe Henry or the teacher?) 2. What Norse myth? He was talking about Zeus and Jehovah, a Greek god and a Judeo/Christian god. 'Splain?"

"Most famous recent person for being converted to atheism, just by reading the bible and its origins: Bart Ehrman Started out as a fundamentalist Christian, studied to become a Biblical Scholar, became a Professor of Biblical Scholary, and along…"

"It's going to be a loooonngg phase. I know mine has been!"
