Reasons to be cheerful!

Perhaps the best thing about this forum is that I can't recall any religitards spewing their destructive excrement across this pristine landscape.

Hang around long enough and you'll see them.

[No one]

I have been here for 4 yearsish, and I can't really recall any. Other forums, it's like a weekly thing.

Oh, yes, I can recall a few characters spewing their destructive excrement across this pristine landscape. Just look in the Dump Pile of Crazy Troll Posts. (Too stupid to be in with the normal topics but too amusing to delete.)
There's Pahu, Parture, Lekatt (near-death experience expert). Gerry Rezpa. There's another one, I can't remember his name but he is a time traveler...

Got a new jacket. I switched to wool for better health and to become more sustainable.

They have been here in the past. I unilaterally banned one example simply because if he had stayed I would have had to have gone and I wasn't prepared to do that. Fortunately there are bigger forums that tend to attract the major religitards.

I really like wool. All of my socks are now Merino wool. It's expensive but they last for years and I couldn't be happier.

there are different degrees of religion.

i'm a quaker, but i'm also a non-theist.

so far as i know the religious society of friends is the only church where it's okay to be an atheist.

lol but not to drink alcohol

Now I am sure a few cuckoo's have flown over this nest. Just not in the droves or weight I have witnessed on some of the other atheistic hotspots. I am glad this place is relatively secluded.

billy rubin, I said to my man, "A quaker came to the forum." He asked, "What's that?" I said, "I don't know, the only quaker I know is this one:
"
I apologize for my ignorance.  I don't go out much.
Would you be kind enough to tell me about it? Please.

Arthur Eddington, who seemed to be an interesting man, was also a Quaker.

my well is shut in for two hours so im stymied at the moment

quakerz were originally a mystic chrisian movement that came out of england  in the 1650s. we were persecuted at first, and lots moved to the americas-- whole townz, at once. a few of us were transported to austred alia.

over the last 350 years we ve schismed a few times, and most of us now are neo-proteztant, in africa and south america.a smaller proportion are called liberals, and no longer hold christianity or even theism as defining.

an incredibly small group rejects both departures from the original witnesz and triez to remain faithful to the 17th century faith and practice. that s mine, although im not a believer.

quakers believe that god --or something-- speakz to individuals directly, and so we dont need priests, rites, ceremoniez, or zacramentz. a quaker meeting for worship in the old way consists of a group of people who walk into a room, sit down, and just lizten quietly for a while. sometimez somebody is led to zay something, sometimez nobody zayz anything.

after a while we get up and eat lunch, or go protezt something, or in general do stuff that infuriates other religious people.
