Politically charged Quote of the Day (and ... The Meaning of Life)

I like the quote NA posted. I think I'll send it to Mitt Romney here in Boston. He defaulted into his 'save the children' mode when the subject of gay marriage came up (yet again) yesterday.


As for the subject of atheism. If find it interesting that atheists (and I don't know if I'm one or not) and the pretentiously pious have something in common. There's no room for gray in their thinking. One says, 'There definitely is a God.' One says, 'There definitely isn't a god.'

I'm sure Chris and I could talk about this in person soon... Lisa and I were discussing black and white thinking yesterday. I admit I think that way often, but I'm searching for gray. And not just on my head like Lisa said.

I don't say this and I'm still an atheist. And if everybody who definitely thinks there is a god is pretentiously pious then there aren't very many unpretentiously pious people in the world.
