Now, an idle mind is the devil's (religion's) play ground. It is more than demonstrated in most here in that they are as arbitrary as any gung ho Christian in their thinking. One even asked if I had been similarly received on other boards. We call these sad little things groups... not boards. A board is like mine behind the lower right orb of niggerwise. THOSE ARE BOARDS! These are exact twins to the yahoo groups I have so many of... but with far less features. Don't visit many but over the years I have on occasion and in every case was received as graciously as here. Of course the only ones I ever probed before now were Christian or cult. I did visit some that are run by friends who ARE free thinkers and there not even Christians are so treated. But it is something some here will outgrow, one would hope, being so young. Very many, however, will do as they prove to statistically and find homes in religion.
