"Your addendum is fantastic. I hope I can face that possibility with the same strength and conviction of non-belief you did. My thought is, what will my final thought be before they would put me under for a similar operation. I do know I've…"

I don't miss Christianity

"Wonderful video..... Thanks... I don't miss feeling guilty about things I enjoy in private that hurt no one else. I don't miss worrying if enjoying my life now will keep me out of a mythical promised land, or send me to a world of eternal…"

Morality and Purpose in Life

Posted on May 31, 2010 at 2:31pm 4 Comments

Being my first blog post on TA, I felt I should start with my basic principles for how I live my life.
