the brain is fucking amazing
Everything we sense, think, feel, & dream all comes down to a bunch of impulses and chemicals in the brain? The idea used to sadden me. But now I think, "The brain can do ALL THAT?! That's fucking AMAZING!!"
Jarrod Payne commented on Laura Foster's blog post 'In Which We Up The Ante (Sign up for your Smiting!)'"I am so in for this, i am always keen for a good old fashioned old testament style smiting!
I actually have requested a smiting before, in a church of all places and im still waiting!!! Its been like 7 years! Perhaps heaven is like a badly…"
Albert Bakker commented on Laura Foster's blog post 'What I *do* like about religions'"And that is what I acknowledged: people can be good and behave like decent human beings despite their religions being unethical, like following kosher/ halal laws for example or plain silly, like Wiccan woo."
Laura Foster commented on Laura Foster's blog post 'What I *do* like about religions'"Thank you for your opinions, Isaiah, and I will reiterate what I already said in the post itself, since you appear to have missed it:
"
Radu Andreiu commented on Laura Foster's blog post 'What I *do* like about religions'"I like "Amazing Grace". I think it's one of the most beautiful songs ever created.
I like other forms of religious art too, of course.
Oh, and what I like about religion is that it's such a great source of fun and jokes. I…"
x commented on Laura Foster's blog post 'In Which We Up The Ante (Sign up for your Smiting!)'"I’ve been smitten. I’m not sure why or when as it came on slowly and there didn’t seem to be any reason behind it except that I was a skeptic. It was emrods for me.

Gregor Basić commented on Laura Foster's blog post 'In Which We Up The Ante (Sign up for your Smiting!)'"Silly atheist thinks that god-fellow will smite him if he says please, of course he won't, he likes to watch us squirm in out disbelief...

Albert Bakker commented on Laura Foster's blog post 'What I *do* like about religions'"You really put forth some naive and tortured arguments. For example you like kosher "practices" because they are centered around the ethical treatment of animals. I shudder to think what you might consider unethical treatment of…"
Laura Foster posted a blog postWhat I *do* like about religions
It's a common misconception (not to mention a sweeping generalization) that all atheists hate everything about religion. I for one can say that that isn't so. So in hopes of building bridges--and being less of the "negative nancy" I seem to have been lately--I thought I'd write a list of things that I do like about various religions, and I encourage commenters to do the same. After all, we're all sharing this tiny pale blue dot together. I like Christmas. That's an easy one. I like that…See More

I found an online acquaintance in a roundabout way on LiveJournal (yes, that dinosaur) and sent her a friend request. I'd have been fine with the first part of her explanation for declining (it's only my RL face-to-face circle of friends, nothing personal). But what stung was what she went on to say:
We're all pagans, Dionysians, Kemetics, polydiests, or combination of the four. Oh, and one very open minded Christian. So, it's not your gang of folks and subject…Continue

First thing first: How are we doing on the smitings?
I had given ample opportunity for smitage: I flew from Portland ME to Columbus OH in January, then drove back across New York (during a Lake Effect snowstorm I'll add!) and didn't even have anything that can remotely be construed as a smiting. Not a…

You see, when the original zodiac was…
