Quote from: "Tank"
Quote from: "Whitney"Started a new job today...I wonder how long it will take for me to learn how to relax at home again instead of constantly feeling like if I'm not working on trying to find more work that I'm slacking?
Was this with a new company or a new job in your existing company or something else?

With a new company...my sole proprietorship isn't much of a company, I've been unemployed with only sparse work for over a year.

I know the feeling. I'm doing a BSc in computing ATM with the odd day of subcontracting as a business analyst as an when it comes around. Sitting around waiting for things to happen can be a little wearing at times.

(Lisa): No.
(Homer): Ham?
(Lisa): No!

(Lisa): Dad! Those all come from the same animal!

Interesting link, it mirrors my thoughts when I first joined RDF. What will happen when all the reasonable theists have been radicalised or become agnostics/atheists? What will we do when there is no middle ground left to fight over?

We can start fighting for other causes we consider important. You see, for an atheist, life does not HAVE to revolve around religion

Quite true. However do you think the remaining, cornered and radicalised fundamentalist nut jobs that will be left of the theists will be safe? That is the question isn't it? How will the dregs of theism behave? They will feel isolated, persecuted and beaten; not good.
