I don't want this to be a chance for you to tell me what is wrong with the theocratic abscess burrowed; the thorn in your side or the vacant imperfection imposed upon the resident scapegoat. I care not to afford you the opportunity to lick your wounds in my sight or to appease the cultural norms subscribed.
Without the fear on the other side of the fence nor the ruckus in the alley way I want you to tell me what the benefit of an atheist lifestyle is had the social and political majority not absolved you and the necessary protestation of that artificial insemination had manifested itself in hindsight.
In other words, had there been no myth where would you see yourself rather than where would you see yourself in light of it.

Permalink Reply by Kairan Nierde on January 6, 2013 at 12:01am Are you angry, David? Does your anger stem from frustration or fear? Are you afraid of what you have found here?
You came here to reinforce the superiority of your beliefs. That is a dangerous way to bolster your faith. Sometimes we encounter ideas that we cannot defeat and we must accept a new paradigm. This is why most people of the faith prefer to hide from ideas and information that contradicts their belief system. Yet you seek them out. It is not possible to debate without engaging the ideas of the other side. Perhaps something has broken through your defenses. Are you thinking atheist?
Do not fear. You can find value in living beyond the God paradigm.

Are you angry, David?
Is that a rhetorical question?
IMHO, D.H. is a very angry individual, an outcast having a difficult time finding a place in society. Can you imagine how hard it is for D. H. to find others to hang out with? Given what little you have experienced of him, how many of you would truly want to have dinner with him more then once?
Judging from D. H.'s comments I see him as a religious movement of one, David is the Messiah of the Truth according to D. H., he is the Shepherd of his flock of one.
Maybe he will become the next L. Ron Hubbard (who BTW died with a net worth of over $600 Million, now that's a successful religious leader).
