I think it is a mark of how good it is that I wanted to attend the Wednesday seminar!

I am so glad that religion has absolutely no meaning to me. I might not live as long as a religious person but the lack of ritual in my life will make up for those lost years.

Thanks

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you!

What do you think of this,

 

Nathan Young,

 

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it.  The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs.  I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance.  The letter was a mockery of atheism.  Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
