Looking for volunteers
To whom it may concern,
My name is Simon, I'm researching a documentary film for Touch Productions, based in Bath, UK. We're trying to find stories about families that have been divided or broken due to religious conflict within the home. This might involve a split family, who haven't seen a daughter for ten years, or maybe a devout couple where one has a
dramatic change of faith.
I was hoping that you might be able to help us with our research by answering a few questions. Maybe you or someone you know has been affected in this way or possibly you know of someone who might be able to help us further.
The idea is still in the early stages of development, but we're hoping to have it ready to pitch to channel commissioners by early next week. Any information you might be able to provide us with would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time and kind regards,
Simon Ball

The Christians are slobbering at the thought that "Armageddon" is right around the corner, and given that billions of people can't wait to get to the next life, it is fairly inevitable that we are going to destroy our selves.
I happen to think that certain termite societies are watching all of this, and are ready to take over. Did you ever look at a termite close up? They look like little Aliens!
Deism is defined in Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary, 1941, as: "[From Latin Deus, God.Deity] The doctrine or creed of a Deist." And Deist is defined in the same dictionary as: "One who believes in the existence of a God or supreme being but denies revealed religion, basing his belief on the light of nature and reason."
This common sense approach to God and a spiritual philosophy can not only bring a lasting profound sense of peace and happiness to the individual, but it also has the potential to go light years in eradicating religious fear, superstition and violence.

I will be 70 in may. I have been hanging around this site for a couple of years. Most or at least a lot of the regulars here are pretty smart people, and rarely a day goes by that I don't get a new slant on things.
The one thing that I have gained is a rock solid conviction that:
"the excitement of seeking & searching once again for the truth by far exceeds the dream (asleep) state I was in." nugnosticguru,...freedy"
I have even acquired a little compassion for the Jesus cult members who come onto this site and attempt to witness to us, They all tend to do the same thing. They start out by spouting a few of the "verses and phrases" from the bible, and when they realize they are just comical to us, they will get very defensive and say we are picking on them, and generally end up sticking their fingers in their ears and running away yelling that we are all possessed by the devil.
They don't have the wiliness to face even the most basic, of the myriad of illogical, contradictory, and just plain silly assertions of the Bible.
Another conclusion I have come to is, a lot of people just don't care one way or another about religion, and simply refuse to discuss it. (kind of like, if they don't talk about it, God will give them a free pass), and in a way they probably are right. I like what Mark Twain said in "Letters from earth" Humans imagine that God is sitting on his throne waiting with great anticipation for the next one of us to tell him how wonderful he is.
I like to think that if there is a God, and he went to all the trouble to design the evolution process that finally let us emerge at the top of the food chain, basically because we are smarter than all the other animals, that he would be MORE fond of those who used their brains, than those who shut down all rational thought in order to be able to accept a fairy tale.
