Welcome! There are humans from all over and from what I have seen, a lot of ages are represented. The community is wonderful!

Please give us a chance, after all, many Americans are from European descent. As far as age, I should be considered a fossil. It all depends on what you feel comfortable with.

Stay, at least for a while. See if it is stimulating enough. Other Brits have joined, and people from a number of different countries belong as well. Welcome. Oh, by the way, I am a grandfather.

it is very american and therefore can raise the eyebrows but there are some smart members around . I was wondering why there is no music or travelling sections to this but still there are some interesting reads through the babble

I'll take that "a bit young and a bit American" as a compliment.

Stay. We like you already

Well, I dabble In and enjoy baroque music. I was a church pipe organist and minister of music who eventually ate the apple from the tree of knowledge and discovered the all too many parallell deity myths throughout history. The cover was blown for me after 12
Years of parochial school. I’m new here too. I’ll give this site some time. There really is nobody with similar views to talk to in my circle of friends other than 1
Other lawyer who flies below the radar for
Political reasons.

I would love for you to explain the connection between moral philosophy and baroque music.

I suspect that the reason this site has so many Americans is that it's easier to avoid vocal Christians in other (English-Speaking) parts of the world - especially Europe.

I don't have a particular love for baroque music, but I do enjoy classical and particularly opera. It's thrilling live and I go to every one I can in my area. So far I've seen: Madame Butterfly, Fidelio, Die Fledermaus, The Magic Flute, The Marriage of Figaro, and Carmen.

Not young, but thanks for saying so . I enjoy Baroque Music, though am far from being one of the cognicenti. I'm Australian but have argued with people from most of the former British Empire on this site. I've only met one real arsehole and he was a Christian trying troll the atheists. My experience here has been that people usually argue politely and in good faith.

Welcome... Try us... May be you will be surprised.

Hopefully you don't believe in religion as well. That's one really good reason to be here. If only we could have some background Vivaldi playing, it would be perfect here. Yes, the site is more American in membership than other, but the diversity of membership is growing.

Thank you for your kind responses. I shall certainly stay with you and hope to join in some interesting discussions. In answer to a few questions/remarks, I am 74, and a practising atheist. I come from a long line of atheists/freethinkers. I need to spend some time getting to know this site and finding out what has already been discussed so I shall come back soon and maybe put out a few feelers for discussion.

well you can have a look around whilst youre here ,pretty sure we can do baroque, and I am not american - Just English living in Northern Ireland - I think we do a fair bit of moral philosophy here .

I love classical, especially the Baroque and Late-Romantic periods. Of Baroque I'm mainly into solo keyboard and guitar: Weiss, Losy, Visee, Bach, Handel, Sanz, Scarlatti. Here's a performance of a wonderful work by one one the lesser known Baroque composers, Jan Antonin Losy, of which, to my knowledge, there is not yet a commercial recording of.
