Welcome! This is indeed a terrific place. Enjoy the conversations!
A lot of nice and friendly people in here.
I have a quote by someone "Religion is based . . . Mainly on fear . . . Fear of the mysterious, fear of defeat, fear of death. Fear is the parent of cruelty, and therefore it is no wonder if cruelty and religion have gone hand in hand. . . . My own view on religion is that of Lucretius. I regard it as a disease born of fear and as a source of untold misery to the human race." [Bertrand Russell]
Welcome and may you find a happy place for you here.
