I’m new to this atheist thing, and think the world is ready for a kinder, gentler, more compassionate atheism—or maybe some of you could tell me where to find it.A lot of atheists of my acquaintance…Continue

Darrell Johnson replied to John Siqueiros's discussion 'My First Ultramarathon' in the group Atheist RunnersDarrell Johnson replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'Life on Mars: What impact would it have on religion?'"Thank you, Hawk, for being my 'apologist', LOL!

Darrell Johnson replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'Life on Mars: What impact would it have on religion?'"Thou protesteth too much, my overly-presumptuous friend; although I was for most of my life a Christian believer, I am here in Think Atheist as a non-believer, to receive moral support and contextualization for my loss of faith. I hoped to find…"
Darrell Johnson replied to William Boyd's discussion 'What's your favourite question to ask a theist?'"According to Morton, the rather oblique reference in the last paragraph to "teaching him [the naked young man] the mystery of the Kingdom of God" was to homosexual anal intercourse :O

Darrell Johnson replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'Life on Mars: What impact would it have on religion?'"Best thing I’ve read on this topic from a theological point of view was actually C.S.

I was of course and I don't really have a "pilow stone'. As for the deconversion, I don't know how much of an expert I am but I'd be very happy to help out where I can. There's a discussion right now I think…"

A "pillow stone" is an old tale of a "magical" stone that protects and comforts the bearer. The Knights Templar used them supposedly to sleep on, hence the name. It is shaped a bit concavely and the head fits nicely…"

Hey again,
I was of course and I don't really have a "pilow stone'. As for the deconversion, I don't know how much of an expert I am but I'd be very happy to help out where I can. There's a discussion right now I think you would benefit from enormously if this is your interests. It's in that group I told you about, Welcome All Adherents and entitled, "How do I know that your god is The One, True God". It is a very illuminating conversation I've developed over the years.

Hey Darrell,
A "pillow stone" is an old tale of a "magical" stone that protects and comforts the bearer. The Knights Templar used them supposedly to sleep on, hence the name. It is shaped a bit concavely and the head fits nicely into it.

Michel Ménard said… I just saw your comment on my page. Glad you replied. You indeed manage quite well to write in french, as you have shown. I know where the Parc Régional is... I've been planning to take a bicycle ride there but didn't yet. Maybe next summer. I'm located right in the center of Longueuil and I don't go often to Montreal... especially during winter. I like cold weather so much that I almost hibernate all winter long. lol If I happen to go downtown Mtl I'll drop you a message.
