The eloquent conclusion you come to at ...Hi, Tim! <br /><br />The eloquent conclusion you come to at the end of your post here is the logical one. It can apply to all kinds of secular philosophies. Keeping your own mind ordered well enough to discern the truth behind any topic, especially ones people are passionate about, is a real challenge here in the US.<br /><br />It's so much easier to ignore the incoming rhetoric than to understand where they've picked up holes and cracks in their reasoning (if any was applied in the first place).Gerall Kahlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09324435667145977126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356277961656468139.post-61298259035687963492012-03-15T20:51:43.308-05:002012-03-15T20:51:43.308-05:00Trela,
I hope you continue to post since so much ...Trela,<br /><br />I hope you continue to post since so much of what I want to talk about is growing up in a midwest town surrounded by the religious and the automatic assumption of religion. You and Tony were there with me. <br /><br />My perception I am sure was different than yours and I'd like to hear that.<br /><br />Also I am happy that you have found something to enjoy in my posts! Sometimes it is like yelling at the wind. If nothing else I like it when people read something I wrote and then think about things a little differently than they did before.Timothy S.

I...I love that you have Begun this written journey. I have lived my freedom vicariously through reading others, including you. Aside from my parents (Dad is agnostic) and husband, I haven't felt the freedom to open up about my thoughts. I am envious of the freedom of belief all the very religious people I know have, because I feel I have none in my non-belief. I'm closeted, and situations like the Judge Martin incident chewing out a non-believer who was the victim. I'm rambling. I will wrap it up by saying thank you, and maybe I will find a path to my own freedom.Trela Raleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217247839493083329noreply@blogger.com
