Hello and welcome to HAF, Marti. Christian Spiritualism looks like a fascinating faith. Does your family actually believe in things like the Zodiac Messages (http://christianspiritualism.org/messages/zodiacbig2.htm)? I'd be interested in learning more, once you have your introductory 10 posts under your belt.

Closets, closets, closets, so many people thinking in closets while others share the fantasy in imposing buildings. Big buildings built to constrain minds, closets that give freedom to think...
Hello Marti
Hi Marti, welcome to HAF! Very glad to meet you. I hope you enjoy the forum. I'm looking forward to seeing your posts. :)

Hello Marti
That's deep ;D
I like big buildings, religious churches included, but I never thought about it that way. Never really associated it with the buildings per se.
Welcome. I was a Closeted atheist for quite some time myself.
Hi Marti
Good to see another young mind escape the comfort blanket of Institutionalised Superstitions (aka religion)
Welcome to HAF ;D
Regards
Chris

Close ::) It's Fernanda ;D
Didn't Nietzsche have a sister called Fern?
I don't know, but it would seem odd to be called Fern in a German speaking country, seems to missing the 'das'.

Das ist Fernanda!!
I like the name "Fern". Reminds me of the girl in Charlotte's Web.
What?
Oh yes! Welcome Marti-Fern! I hope you enjoy your time here!
Greetings, Marti-Fern! I have to say the username is intriguing; please tell us more. ;)
BTW the German word fern simply means 'far'.

Damn you multilingual types, Farnietzsche is no fun, it has to be Fernnietzsche.
She later moved to Sweden and was involved in the founding of Ikea.
