Suzanne Olson-Hyde commented on John Stevens's blog post 'A Moment of Good Thought'"That is so true. When a idea or opinion occurs, it is then built on, layer upon layer, by information from many sources. One can then see what tripe is espoused by religions of any persuasion. As soon as a xian or religious person makes a statement,…"
Simon Paynton commented on John Stevens's blog post 'A Moment of Good Thought'"Yes, I agree with that. Reality is all linked up, one way or another, and it is good when we can uncover those links. It seems, also, that there are common laws which govern large parts of reality. "
Doug Reardon commented on John Stevens's blog post 'A Moment of Good Thought'"Welcome to the wonderful world of free thought!"
John Stevens posted a blog postA Moment of Good Thought
Today, I experienced a moment of wondrous lucidity, a moment where conscious thought elevated itself to the level of intuition. In laymen's terms, ideas which required a conscious effort on my part to be understood, suddenly became so obvious and so clear to me, that they almost became common sense.This experience happened to me as I was reading Dawkins' "The God Delusion", when he alluded to the character Winston in Huxley's "1984". I thoroughly enjoyed reading "1984" previously, and my…See More
John Stevens replied to Hope's discussion 'faithfulness in the relationship- want your views'"# How can atheists and agnostics practice faithfulness in their relationship?

- About Me:
- I am humble when happy, proud when distressed. I love the strange and the different, but take the orderly when the unique isn't pleasant. I walk the road less traveled but always take a map. I am an idiot in the face of a genius, and a genius in the face of idiocy. In the land of words I am prey, but in the land of thought I am predator. I am blind to the invisible, lucid whilst in the dark, and awake within a dream. I was born as a child, and grew to become a smarter one. I also love to eat cheesecake.

- Why are you here?
- I'd like to see the thoughts of like minded people, so I may enhance or defray my own opinions on matters concerning religion. I also find the existence of a community such as this comforting, because talking too openly about my views among my family and friends leads only to discontent.
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- Around the time I was 10 years old, I begin to question the validity of the things I was raised to believe by my family and community. little did I know I was becoming an agnostic, and I had kept my thoughts to myself for years in order to avoid being ostracized by my family. As I grew and my education furthered, I felt more and more compelled towards atheism as the most logical and comforting belief to follow. Yet I do not believe so astutely as such that I will never renounce my views, I just see no other view to believe at this time that suits my knowledge of, and experiences in, the world at this time.
