Old dogma, new text
Offline Hi there.
I'm relatively new to the RRS pages and am glad to have found them. I know I'm not alone in my beliefs but it sure feels like it sometimes. (What? YOU are a catholic? Practicing? REALLY?) Just last month I was prostheletised by a man studying to be a preacher through "distance learning". It was a little like trying to push back a donkey, just getting him to leave me alone. I only got any sympathy from folks at work because he was rather a Know-It-All in ALL subjects, and therefore annoyed just about everyone else.
Anyway, to introduce myself, I'm almost 40, married to a wonderful woman who doesn't NOT believe in a god/goddess/supreme being of some sort and am a stubborn ol' agnostic with atheistic tendencies. ("Well, if there IS a god, I know it ain't like YOURS".) And, I like to capitalise and use quotations a lot. Hey, just be glad I'm on the wagon with the smilies!
Read you soon!

Hi. Welcome to the forum.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Robb, welcome aboard. I tweaked your post a little for ya.

I'll see if I can't shake that last little vestige of "maybe there could be some sort of 'God-critter' out there", you damn Agnostic!

From the sublime to the ridiculous: Science -> Philosophy -> Theology
