If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

I confused myself a bit, it could be correct, or perhaps it once was.
"I won't speak for Tank but he doesn't pay me the respect that is a magical foodstuff's due".
That would have been less confusing but clarity is only sometimes my goal.
No clarification necessary - now on second reading I understand that you were referring to yourself, not to your belief in Puddingism, and thus my attempt to twist your words out of all proportion for my viciously disrespectful aims is rendered useless.  :P

I'm intrigued by your "asupernaturalist" label.  What is this "supernatural" you don't believe in?

;D That's a 50+ question, that I may or may not answer in due course.
Let's hope I have $50 worth of patience.  ;)

I hope you stick around. There are many more interesting things to debate than the existence of digestives.

I'm not so much interested in "debate", but I'll (tentatively) agree that the existence of Digestives isn't the most important issue of the day.  Whether I stick around or not is going to depend on whether this "Getting to Know You" stage manages to hold my interest... :D

I like tea.

I'm finding chai, in particular, to be pretty tasty these days. I'm also developing a taste for rooibos, despite the fact that I used to find that it tasted a bit too much like licorice. Yerba mate is also pretty good, but I find preparing it properly a bit cumbersome. You can't go wrong with a good cup of chamomile, I think Egyptian chamomile is the best.

This is a thread about tea, right?
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.
