As someone who went to a conservative baptist chruch (was raised with no religion) and who moved down to the south from the north I was appaled at some of the things said by people who called themselves 'christian' and I have found that the less religious someone is the more accepting of all people they seem to be.

I was reading a text book and it said darwin's theory is a plausible explanation for existence without a creator but wait the theory only explains after creation because something has to have existed before it can evolve. Then I thought like man made things animals cannot just change without the builder.
Can people here please explain the theory more.

I like your website and it is trending upwards on "my favorites" under religion. I grew up catholic with all the trimmings of fear,anxiety and guilt. I am also very conservative and an atheist too. It took me approximately 50 years to come out of the closet but my life is so much more peaceful now. I am open about my atheism and I don't give a hoot what anybody else says or does about it. Down deep I knew I was a good person ever since I could remember but the church and school constantly reminded me I was a sinner and not worth it.
Any way, thanks for your website and your work.

I tried to find you on facebook. Don't you have a page there? If not, you really should. That's how I found out about you, and by reposting, all of my friends would have, too, and so on, and so on.

If you ARE on facebook and I just missed it, please let me know.

Best,

Geoff

Admin reply: I guess I'm not really up on protocol for Facebook - you can find me there under John Draper - my actual name. At least that seems to be the case. Like I said, although most people see me as a computer expert, I find facebook hard to figure out. My facebook page is not used much and I restrict it only to the atheist discussions even though I have a much broader life! I've now added a link to my Facebook page on the home page - left column - under the menus.
Thanks for your comment.

Hello from God Defined! (god dash defined dot com)
We are having fun collecting god definitions from around the world and are about to have our one year birthday. Haven't even been directly threatened, it's been great! Thanks everyone!

John, You are referring to my article on "why convert to Catholic" where I quote that you are disenchanted with the Catholic Church and although you don't spell it out so I can truly understand, it seems that you wanted to "not change" and that was my point. You wanted to maintain the status quo. Perhaps I misinterpreted your reason. And disagreeing with homosexuality does not make you homophobic. I did not talk about the couple of your story because they were not relevant to my point. I included a link to your full article so readers could get the background if they wanted.
Thank you for clarifying.

Excuse me, Cobourg Athiest, but exactly where in my article did you find me saying that homosexuality was wrong. Please cite the paragraph and exact sentence.

Do people not know how to read anymore? Disagreeing with the blessing of same sex unions does not a homophobic make, and I completely agree with same sex partners civic unions so they are allowed to care for their nearest and dearest like the rest of us. I do not believe, however, that the political agenda of gay rights should be allowed to misappropriate the term Marriage and force the break-up over a once proud communion of the low and lazy, middle and hazy, and high and crazy wherein people of every ilk and persuasion could find a home in which to flourish.

You're reaction to my blogpost is glib in the extreme and completely missed the point of likewise glibness in the form of a couple who were cowardly enough to throw a stone at me in my absence and run away from the scene of the crime. That's the story in my article, not the crap you're peddling.

The brave souls weren't there last Sunday either; probably afraid I was going to show up with a baseball bat.

Ridiculous,

McKillop
