i will try your suggestion ;)

Comment appreciated. I suppose "great" is a relative term.

I am definitely not content at the moment but moving takes a lot of motivation which I don't have. 

Hi Glen, how are you?

For years I bundled up to go jogging. Only recently have I decided "This is nuts!" Besides, I have "chilblained toes" which hurts if I spend too much time in the cold. I get outdoors enough as it is. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment :) !

Glen, I'll be opening next week. Hurry down here. I'll gladly serve you an New England Atheist Seafood Platter!!  ;)   

I agree that spending lots of time on scripture and the question of creation/god is a waste of time.  More time, if any, should be spent on its consequences and on the positive alternatives.  Would love to see a documentary of such.  I rarely ever allow anyone to trap me into an argument about god/religion, because it is as ridiculous as arguing about fairies or about American Idol or Survivor.

What I'd most like to see out of atheists is more of a PRO-active view of life.  Because there are so many liberal atheists, they often have a hope-y, wish-y, wanna-illusion-of-Utopia view of life.  Being idealist is only good up to a point.  We can change reality, but only up to a point.  Getting over the wish for Utopia is a hangover from religion.  We all suffer from it, but few acknowledge it.

LOL!! Thank you so much Glen. Type it up and hold onto it! The book won't be on the market for another 2 weeks. But I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and support. A girl can never get enough men beside her lending their strength. :)

Hey Glen! Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I have it up on You Tube too. You can see it here :  http://youtu.be/unSI597YsVs

Hi there! It was a number of things, really. Since I was brought up in (what I view now as) a high-conrol cult, I never really did any thinking for myself. I just accepted what I was told for most of my life. I started to develop doubts about my beliefs and discovered the internet. I spent a long time doing research specifically about my own religion, which I discovered to be anything but the truth, and soon moved on to researching evolution and atheism.

I now study Biology at university :)
