Valentine's Day, The Olympics and The Monarchy

It would be an innocent-enough question to ask me how I'm celebratingValentine's Day (or Christmas or Easter, for that matter). Every year,you can't help getting used to the build-up immediately after New Yearto this all-important day to express affection for your loved one (ortwo, or seventy, depending on your Jihad aspirations).

"I do not see how the origin of oil has any bearing on the existence of God. The grand God of All Creation has been reduced to a puny god of the gaps. However, the elimination of yet another gap will not keep God in his coffin."

"Abiotic oil is a great topic for the entire right, religious or otherwise :D Oil is one of the arguments against YEC, and abiotic oil gives an argument around old oil, and allows oil to be young. Abiotic oil also opposses the conservation and…"

"I disagree, I don't think this topic sounds anything like creationist non-sense, though it could have done without the mention of creationism and atheism. I felt confused by that, too. But I'm glad someone took the time to talk about an…"

"No problem. The YECers jump through hoops and grasp at straws to prove their claims and just keep failing. There is evidence throughout many, many different fields of science which refute their claims, not just one."

Neeven,
Welcome to Atheist Nexis!
I looked at your profile. I imagine that you have a lot of stories to tell!
One way to get to know people is to join discussion groups, and get involved in some of the forum topics.
There are hundreds of discussion groups. They are what we make of them. Given your background, you might be interested in Conversations in Race, Ethnicity and Culture - or at least have a valuable perspective that comes from experience.

I live in that "other Vancouver", smaller and more provincial, but with a few charms of it's own.

Anyway, welcome!

Daniel
