    Lou, not sure if you meant to post a link/linked image etc., but nothing is popping up in your above post.

    no, that's lou doing some deep thinking on this issue.

    i'm an atheist (a nasty one about it too) and proud of it. religion, to me, is a mental disorder. i'm less afraid of psychopaths than i am of fundamentalists (though in reality they are the same thing).

    when one uses logic and reason to explain the world, the need for gods/goddesses, messiahs, ghosts, spirits, or bugganes evaporates.

    i'm done on this subject. if you are an atheist, congratulations. if you are religious, then i absolutely could not care less what you think.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    To each their own, I've expressed my opinion, as others here have, and don't really have anything else to say on the matter. I'm proud of my faith and being able to have my faith in this great nation here without persecution, and others are entitled to have their say on the matter of their personal opinions as well.

    Yeah....it's not religion, it's people.

    A person sneering and acting like an ass because others don't believe in what they do is just as annoying if he's a Christian, as he is if he's an atheist.

    Give me good, considerate people who think somewhat critically any day, over people who just want to drop shit on other people's parade or persecute people not partaking in their particular brand of groupthink, and I won't care much what their specific religion is.




    Provisos on Above Statements:

    1) Okay....except maybe for fashionable or posturing religions (ie. "I'm a Satanist and yes, my parent's are pissed, and I'm a special snowflake")
    2) No, I don't think it's cool to believe the Bible or any theological set of parables as a word for word literal truth.
    3) Yes, pin pricking with humor is all in good fun and helps keep things in persepctive...to an extent

    Sorry 'bout that, that's what I get for deep-linking. Guess I pissed off a supreme being somewhere, eh?

    Here's what I meant to post:

    Deep-linking? Sounds dirty, Lou

    Funny thing is, it was working in your earlier post this morning. I had looked at the link info yesterday and couldn't figure out what was causing the issue, unless it was being 'hotlink' blocked at the source.

    Well, you know me.. I'm dirty like that. *snicker*

    Yeah, it was fine when I initially posted it, then taken down from the original link, then put back up with some watermark on it that covered the entire saying at the bottom of the pic. Go figure. From now on, I'll just slap pics in my photobucket acct and link to 'em from there. "NOBODY PUTS LOU IN A CORNER!"
