As anti-social networking as I tend to be [off and on], I finally decided to fix the problem that was previously wrong with it- I liberated myself from feeling self censored as to not offend friends/family who are of a certain faith and political standing. I’m all for differences in opinion and the occasional debate, but sometimes I just want to post or discuss things of interest with like minds.  I really didn’t think that was possible currently with so many family and friend fundies, who I do wish to keep in contact with, but recent exposure to other friends accounts had me longing for the same freedoms they had without having to let go of any people I do care about.

I haven’t really gone through and added everyone on my old friends list that I wouldn’t mind having in my new arena… so if you’re one of them and you’re of an agnostic/atheist/non-theist/secular humanism etc [aka non-Christian/religious] please feel free to add me- and even if you weren’t on my list, I’d love to have you on board.

Religion has popped in out of my head a lot lately- mainly because I’ve started to encounter more and more non-theists online these days [yay!]. I continue to venture to the FSTDT and I can’t help but be exposed to ‘religion’ daily via status updates by family and friends that some times mentions a deity or prayer request [I should offer to rub a rabbits foot for them] from my theist acquaintances.

It got me thinking [again]. Even if a being named Jesus existed- and he may have, with superstitious times and wacky understanding of the world that people held in their minds, he very well could have walked the Earth. He could have wound up producing offspring, had a horde of relatives- who knows. Anyway, it still doesn’t mean that there is a god. It merely means that people over exaggerated a decent example for the people of that time to follow and praised him into a celestial status thinking he could only have been spawned from the hands of ‘god’ himself. <-like I was.
