I was raised by an aethiest father who taught me to be suspicious of anyone who put their lives into the dogma. I think it's a much better thing to appreciate and show gratitude to life, the universe, etc.
Also, the title of your thread is a little inflammatory. I was raised to keep my beliefs as private as my bank account.

Hi SKENDALL , now I am REALLY at a loss. Above is a quote FROM YOU on the thread which caused all the upset.
Here you suggest that beliefs should be kept as private as your bank account, yet when I concur with this you berate me.
Why would you do such a thing ?
Below is part of the post by WILDFLOWERS on this thread. It suggests the same thing. MWO is not the place for discussions on belief. Did anyone criticize her for this statement?

I think if this shite continues here when her web-hosting license is up, or sooner, she MAY yank this site down. I think we'd all hate to see that happen!!!.....

It would appear that no matter what I say I will be attacked. Is there a presumption that because I have no god I have no feelings or worth?
Apart from the thread on Merlot, this is the only thread I have seen started SOLELY for the purpose of dissecting a single member and, on the surface, for a single statement. The attack on Merlot saw the thread removed, yet this remains.
I have explained why I made that statement. I have apologized for the upset my thread caused.
It might interest you to know that concern for the opinions of others was the single greatest cause of my drinking. Since I quit and through all this I have remained sober, not dry drunk as I have seen suggested by some, but calmly sober.......but still an atheist.
