I enjoyed you Humanist Thought for 11/8/2011.  Mentally preparing for the worst-case-scenario sounds morbid at first blush, but is a very good tool for dealing with worry. And since the worst case almost never happens, it helps us see that our…

I don't get it. A home for pregnant women sounds wonderful. The big problem would be becoming attached to the kids and then having them leave.  We have a home for mentally impaired around the corner from us and it's fine. No problems…

Not preaching to the choir

Posted on February 5, 2011 at 11:02am 1 Comment

So, here we are in our nexus, discussing things that interest us and I wanted to post something about the need to not preach to the choir.  We all know that we don't believe, but how do we reach the folks who also don't believe but don't care enough about the fact they don't believe to get involved?  Does it even matter?

Jennifer,  just listened yesterday to your interview with Swoopy on Skepticality.  I'm looking forward to purchasing your book and learning more about what you have to say.  You have such a great attitude and outlook on life and toward other people.  Carl

 

P.S.  I'm so jealous that you grew up in a secular household!
