Not to take the atheist stance, let alone one that calls the one with a hope
commitment for God "ignorant," one of the things I like about James Randi, an
atheist, and Martin Gardner, a deist, is that they've been good buddies of long
standing. People can be centric and put up walls of alienation over just about
anything, but I like it when they know better. Jimmy Stewart, a conservative,
and Henry Fonda, a liberal, having been best friends is like that. I like that.
I didn't have a long post in mind, I just wanted to add that. -

Thanks Nic for that positive assertion about atheism. Atheism is too often tarred as a negative force in society.
I believe in Positive Atheism, the kind you write about.

Oh grow up!
Ok fine, spoilsport. I must concur, beautiful post Nic, and I could not agree more with the fact that if we educated our children to be humanitarians versus spiritual people the spirituality would naturally follow, by their behavior, making religion obsofarkinglete!

Nice comment Nic.
Who says there's no spirituality in humanism or atheism !
The value of a persons soul can not be measured in by what god he or she believes in !

Great post Nic.
I really liked this part:
It does not blow me about like a 'wave of the sea' but gives me the direction and purpose I need to find an answer.
So many times I wish I could just share thoughts like these with JWs, but it's VERY dangerous ground for a fader. I do try to work little snippets in here and there though. Especially with my family.
