Hoo-fucking-ray, and it's about fucking time.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
"Magical beliefs"? What's magic about them?
Prayer specifically, the story of Christ, the idea of the holy ghost. Religion is myth and superstition. That that fills a need for some people, the majority of people even, isn't a net good or bad, but I do feel that I am expected to be ok with myth and superstition governing my life.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Hil, that's great (if appalling that it's taken so long).

What a relief, Hil! Now we need other professor/office worker to get the other one in.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

"Magical beliefs"? What's magic about them?

I think that it's absolutely not right for anyone to expect other people to adhere to their belief system. 100%.
But it's also not right to denigrate another belief system by referring to it as "magical beliefs." If you would like respect from people of belief systems not your own, then I think a good way to approach that is to respect them as well.
You may consider prayer, the idea of Christ as God, and the Holy Spirit to be "magical," but the people who believe in them do not consider them to be "magic," and to suggest that is just as disrespectful as Christians expecting atheists to get on board with the godhood of Christ.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I am an atheist who has an emotional attachment to the idea of Christmas as embodied in A Christmas Carol, It's a Wonderful Life and the "Yes, Virginia" editorial. I'm also fond of the music. I think there is some human need for festival at the darkest time of the year.
Ginger is me. I was raised Christian and adore Christmas, but I am now agnostic at best. I love my tree and giving presents and even the music (though I prefer classics and jazz versions of such rather than the newer cheese) even though I no longer consider myself a Christian. Maybe I should change, but I don't want to. I also don't tell other people they should celebrate secularly just because I do, though.
Hil, great news!
