Atheists do NOT worship themselves or anything else

Have some questions, but doubt the wisdom of posting them on New Paths. So
I'll refrain.

I would be happy to answer any question that is seeking an answer to that particular question and not a debate or a platform for your opinion on the subject, and one that does not use inflammatory or derogatory language.

Are you doubting my ability to do that???

Probably take it to either Old Paths or Coffee Shop, depending on where you think you'll take things. If this is veering off to politics.....

...You are comparing apples and oranges. You make it painfully obvious you don't know what you are talking about , either that or you are choosing to be deliberately obtuse. Plus, this is a support forum, not a criticism or debate forum.

Please do not go personal or make comments on other members...especially in a support forum. I ask your forgiveness for upsetting you. To me it makes sense that commonality can just as easily point to a common creator, for the life of me I do not see how that is derogatory or illogical or inflammatory. Personally I did not see the use of logic and integration to be a negative thing but I will accept your assertion that it is and that all things must be kept separate. Please accept my apology for asking a question when something did not make sense to me. I wish you a belated Happy Thanksgiving or whatever America atheist do on a particular Thursday in November.

I kind of think they eat turkey and watch football later, pretty much like everybody else.

But thanks for the reminder, which I should have caught myself. An idea might seem ignorant, but the person with it probably isn't. All of us run around with certain ideas and opinions we've never exactly thought through in any detail. I know I do. I find them once in a while -

one which I remember quite well, is that I actually thought - in the back of my mind, because if you had ASKED me I would have come up with the 'right' answer - but what I actually BELIEVED was that the more the humidity got over 100%, the harder it rained.
I do know that isn't the right answer, but it still is what I tend(ed) to BELIEVE. It just sounds intuitively right, you know what I mean?

Plus on certain topics (and evolution is definitely one of them) I am pretty sure every single one of us here can remember when we had some pretty interesting ideas about it, and if we had dared to actually MAKE a statement (or ask a question) we probably looked totally clueless. Didn't we all watch The Flintstones? Didn't we all read Alley Oop?

Very true - we make great mobs and wonderful gangs - not slamming us, either! We are remarkable successful BECAUSE of it.

Turtle, are you still around? I have wondered what has happened to you and if you were able to leave church or find some kind of peace?
