So it seems.

Applesauce is a funny word to say.

Isn't it obvious, you didn't choose your username, your username chose you.
If you coerce your conciousness into coalescing with the cosmos complete clarity is channelled.
Apple, so much meaning there.  Starts with A and is more than a metaphor for the beginning of our knowing.
Sauce, source, it's so obvious.
You need to step away and look back with your peripheral vision to see where you were.
Anyway I have to get back to watching Men Who Stare at Goats.

Nya, stop parroting your prophet.

The dedication of ones self to finding the source of wisdom through the imbibing of sauce is promoted by people who could actually write.

'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed."

Were you a believer at one point, or have you always been an agnostic/atheist? Feel free not to answer if you prefer not to go into it.

The question is NOT "Why is Pudding alliterating?"  The question is "Why AREN'T you?"  ;)

Please forgive me if at random points I say to you "I'm the boss, applesauce."  I can't help it.

Hi Anne. Sorry it took me a while to reply. I used to consider myself really Christian. I genuinely did believe at one point. I'm not anymore, but it wasn't a rough transition. It didn't shock me too much. It just happened slowly over time, I guess.

That seems to be the norm, though for me the hardest part for me was actually saying "I don't believe in God" out loud.  Fear is a powerful thing  :-\.

One thing I find ironic is that Merriam-Webster's website is m-w.com. Perhaps they're afraid people in need of a dictionary will be unable to spell the full name out?  :D

For many years I said I was an agnostic rather than admit that I was an atheist and have to face looks of scorn.  Saying I was an agnostic invited enthusiastic, albeit futile, attempts to convince me that there was a god or "higher being."  It was so tiresome to have to listen to the irrational attempts to persuade me, that I found that it was preferable to be sneered at to have to listen to the same old fantasies.
