So does poison ivy funny lady. =) I meant anything that has enough reward to outweigh the risks. Tobacco doesn't fit that description, at least for me.

Drugs and evolution go hand in hand. Limit pain, you bet. Calm your anxiety and fear of impending doom, check.

Neal replied to George Kwant's discussion 'The wonderful world of drugs.'

My thought is that drugs helped humanity as we evolved. Besides those that reduced pain, those that gave us a different mindset could've helped with our knowledge of impending doom. I have done just about everything, probably easier to say what I h…

There is enough resources now. I guess if you could talk the world into zero population growth that could work.

The worlds resources are finite, mouths to feed are not. Some take some contribute.

Neal replied to Pj Corona's discussion 'What are Atheist, Anti-Spiritual , Anti-Supernatural to be called?'

I've described myself as a humanist in the past, and do agree with most of the 3rd manifesto. Discussing it here in other posts, it appears that at least some atheists have a problem with this line. We seek to minimize the inequities of circumstanc…

Check out Meetup.com for local atheist groups. There's one in Lafayette if that's close enough.

The Reality Left Behind Series - NSFW language

Lost again. Half drunk half the time; where am I. The little thought bastards that run
round and round my mindless mind at night create needless torture.
Time to water board with bourbon the little bastards. They scream at
me through the long hapless nights, Little fucks know everything,

yet nothing; must not listen.

Voices Carry

Did you ever wonder why you are reading another atheist coming out story? Maybe

Cultural Isolation?

Being an outspoken, or at least out of the closet, atheist, can have a definite downside; isolation from your local community. Sure, you might find one or two fellow atheists to converse with, but for the most part, you're on your own.

It's definitely not for the weak, takes strength to be the person you are. More than likely, there are many more atheists in the area, but they would rather be hypocrites than live in seclusion. Again, to be honest with what you think, perhaps

What a Minority Can Accomplish

I think that the latest news from Maine shows how a small minority of passionate voters can influence party platforms.

Tea party activists took over the republican convention and redefined the party’s platform. It will, more than likely, be ruled unconstitutional, but still should interest those who wish to be politically involved.

This is a partial list, (the ones I find interesting), of changes made to the republican platform in Main
