Joshua McGee commented on Terence Vermont's blog post 'Christianity: A Cult?'"Max Weinreich described a language as "a dialect with an army". Borrowing his logic, a religion could be taken to be "a cult with an army".
So, I would argue: Christianity is both cult and religion."

Joshua McGee replied to Martin Pribble's discussion 'Anne Rice quits Christianity - announces it on her FB page!'"The Definitive Edition (to the best of my memory) incorporates everything from the previous editions.

Joshua McGee replied to Martin Pribble's discussion 'Anne Rice quits Christianity - announces it on her FB page!'"Speaking of which, have you ever read any of the Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture series?
Now, wow! Thank you for the pointer!
Do you know Martin Gardner's amazing Annotated Alice book/books? The Definitive Edition is best."
Joshua McGee replied to Martin Pribble's discussion 'Anne Rice quits Christianity - announces it on her FB page!'"Take out the bloodsucking and the entire Twilight series is an overdramatized abstinence-only campaign.
Precisely. Because my bet would have been "no" -- especially while her books are still making money. Which, in retrospect, kinda means…"

Joshua McGee replied to Silenus's discussion 'Alice in Chains/Mastodon/Deftones' in the group Atheist Metalheads"if you have them it would be awesome if you could send them to me, or show me where to get it.

Joshua McGee replied to Silenus's discussion 'Alice in Chains/Mastodon/Deftones' in the group Atheist Metalheads"Oh, I totally agree that AIC wasn't "All Layne". Indeed, it was mostly Jerry as far as composition is concerned. I believe Cantrell actually wrote 2/3 of the lyrics, and essentially everything pre-Dirt (Including Jar of Flies, which…"
Joshua McGee replied to Silenus's discussion 'Alice in Chains/Mastodon/Deftones' in the group Atheist Metalheads"Black Gives Way to Blue was a good record, but it's still weird to think about attending an "Alice in Chains" concert without Layne there.

- Why are you here?
- Dealing with people is worthwhile, but sometimes it's comfortable just to be around people who share the same thoughts and principles one does. Here I don't have to explain why atheism is not a religion, why I'm not an atheist because of trauma, how atheists can be moral, that I don't worship Satan, and why I can be so strident about intrusion of religion into general society. Thanks for being my peeps, peeps. :-)
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- The concept of deities is illogical, unnecessary, and contrary to all observed fact. Specifically regarding Christianity, any degree of study of the Bible shows that it is a heterogeneous, internally inconsistent, and demonstrably wrong antique book.

S S Tragus said… - I too find most social networking boring and ultimately intolerable. The only other ones I visit with some regularity are beard-related--a beard community forum and The Society of Bearded Gentlemen, using the same platform as TA. This one, unlike the others, however, allows for some stimulating discussion and the sharing, critiquing, etc. of creative work.
Nice to have you here.
