In my family, I also had some arguments with my grandmother and aunt; looking back one of the reasons I never made any headway with…"

Tara replied to Dr. Terence Meaden's discussion Darwin's proposal that life may have started 'in some warm little pond' may yet be right in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"Interesting article, thanks for posting. It makes a lot of sense...I still remember my high school science book stating that anaerobic bacteria are our planet's oldest known inhabitants and that today they are limited to the few highly acidic…"
Tara replied to Steph S.'s discussion Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking in the group INTJ
"Haha, thanks. I do like some clubs, but they are the more laid back ones. A friend of mine plays in a local band and I go to their gigs whenever I have the chance. But, yeah, I usually don't stay that long...the longer I stay the drunker people…"

"I'm reading this book right now and it seriously feels like Susan Cain wrote this book especially for me. Some of the stories she describes are taken almost verbatim from my own life. Like Tiffany Liao, I loved to read all the time and…"
Tara commented on Ian's group INTJ
"Hi there, I'm a new member. I've taken a few versions of the Myers-Briggs test (including the version offered here) and I always end up as INTJ."
Tara replied to Richard Haynes's discussion NEED YOUR INPUT: Social Networking Buttons
"I have to agree here. Even though X is associated with many different things, when I read "X us" I get the impression of "X us out" (as in rub us out).
Brother Richard, I know you pointed out several positive uses of the…"

Tara replied to Dr. Terence Meaden's discussion ORIGIN OF ATHEIST PRIDE in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"I agree with Jeff's and D. E. Hall's point very much. We should be proud of our atheism and proud to have thrown off the fallacy of religion. And I am not only proud of, but often awed by, the sheer tenacity of scientifc thought to…"
Tara commented on Sarah Elle's blog post Kick a Ginger- Do we Blame Television or Bad Parenting?
"Hmmm...why don't the gingers retaliate tomorrow with Punch a Ginger-Hater Day?
Seriously though, I remember a similar spate of incidents when Bevis and Butthead first aired. Part of it is lack of ability to comprehend the consequences of their…"
Tara replied to Sarah Elle's discussion Atheists - What do you believe? in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
"My simple answer is that I don't know, but it's fun to think about.
I do believe the Big Bang happened because I think the microwave detection experiment by Penzias and Wilson demonstrated it beyond a doubt. The fact that their detector…"

I enjoyed it for the most part. It dealt with topics such as end of life care, pain relief and addressing the spiritual needs of different individuals based on their religious beliefs.There was one instance however that was decidedly unpleasant, and unfortunately really overshadowed the rest of my time in the…See More
Steph S. replied to Loren Miller's discussion Latest Activity?"What Loren said and I don't see a place to add videos on your page like before.

Loren Miller replied to Loren Miller's discussion Latest Activity?"About the only thing I don't see on my home page that was there originally is the MP3 player and playlist. Not cosmic, by any stretch, but I thought I'd mention it."
Two Cult Survivor commented on Wyatt's blog post Theists, Cargo Cults, and Logic"They mistake logic with internal consistency.
