I met a new friend of my wife's the other day and she asked me how old I was right out of the blue, so I told her 'I just turned 57'. She immediately said 'Oh you're just a baby, I'm 59 years old' which struck me as odd, 2 years is nothing in your ...

Perspective, use it or lose it. The pessimist and the optimist both have a properly poured full serving of wine, any more and you would lose the nose when you drink it. The realist is ready for a refill. ;)

When the religious start going on about their god and all I'm thinking is what a great time share business I could develop if only I didn't have a sense of common decency. It would be like stealing the pencils out of a blind beggar's tin cup.

As Atheists we all run into people from time to time that want to question our lack of belief in religion. Here's a good example of how to address these questions civilly and non-confrontationally. Who knows, you might even get some of the fence sitters to come over to an Atheist perspective.

LINKAn interesting article about dating married men
I never thought about it like this, perhaps I'm too old fashion but it's an all or nothing proposition for me, be monogamous or don't be in a relationship. I guess there are many ways to look at things when it comes to sexual relations between people, to each their own.

All religons charge their followers with 'spreading the word' and the destruction of the infidel, heretic or non-believer. This is why wherever religion goes, strife and conflict follow. Do you agree?
