  to believe that sepia-tinted three-legged virgins live on Mars

  Not three legged. Three breasted. Much more attractive.

  Nice comments, and this is the kind of openness we exes need. Do what you need to do for you, not for everyone in the world.

  Dont worry about others comments to you lass.

  You know my opinion brother and I support you whatever. I'll be in chat as long as I can.

  LoneWolf, I was really interested in some of your comments e.g.

  I find
  continuity throughout, although I hope that you will not read into those words the thought that I know everything. I don’t.
  However, a dim outline of something vastly bigger than we are is beginning to come into view, and the little bits that I glimpse
  are utterly fascinating.

  Please, too, do not read into this, that I feel I am some privileged character that has been given some special “dispensation of

  holy spirit” and am trying to make some name for myself. That’s hogwash. Instead I feel like I am some wanderer that by sheer
  luck has found a beautiful canyon and am exploring some of its nooks and crannies. It seems that every time I wander around a
  corner there is something that makes me want to jump up and down and yell “Holy cow! Do you see what I see?”

  I keep hearing stuff like this and am fascinated by it. I'm trying to understand what it is that believers feel they see? I might be a bit like Cygnus in that I have done 20 yrs of exdubdom and now I'm just wondering if I did throw the 'baby out with the bath water'. I doubt if you will read this so I won't go on about it. I have so enjoyed this thread - thanx to Cygnus for his drunken stuper or the insecurities that caused him to post it. My advice to him is get some regular aerobic exercise - it works wonders for the body and soul.

  Hello, Cygnus

  I've read enough of your posts on this thread to have a pretty good idea of your feelings. Our convictions are probably not far apart (certainly the part about golf!). On top of that I believe we are both pragmatic, which helps greatly toward resolving things as dealt rather than the way we'd have preferred them. As one weary human/searcher to another, we might have valuable experience and perspectives to offer one another given our backgrounds. My email is open if you want to undertake some private discussion. I know Friend trusted you, and we have that in common. Maybe we can talk sometime.

  By the way, what you said about the effect of reading Stafford's latest book grabbed my attention. This too would be of interest for me to pursue your thoughts on as it stirs the bigger question of teleology and us.
