  Donkey's never-ending atheism thread

  by donkey in

  wih the permission of simon, i would like to start a thread to act as a collection of thought, quotes and miscellany on atheism and agnosticism.

  there are so many other threads on this subject but no one place which one can go to on here.

  i have much to share - enjoy and contribute with me please.give me the storm and stress of thought and action rather than the dead calm of ignorance and faith.

  During my 20's I "fell out of the troof" for a year or so and during that time I won a Carribean cruise. It was fun and since I was "worldly" at the time I could really enjoy it. I didnt' leave the troof for good until I was 42.

  Yes, W's were depressing I always got W's on gestures. That reminds that school overseer Chinook, MT always said "guesstures" for gestures. Some of the adults tried to get him to say it right, but he never could get the pronunciation or is that "pronounciation" as many pronounced it. Then there was propitiatory. The correct pronunciation is 'pro-pe-shi-a-tory, but most said pro-pitch-a-tory. The correct way sounds so much better. However, my linguistics teacher says whatever most people say is "correct."

  My talk in Spanish class went quite well, I thought, but "la profesora" said I read it, although I had notes, not a manuscript. I guess I looked at my notes too much. I have another talk to do in my Mexican Culture class on Friday. I'd better start on the preparation.

  Thanks everyone. In one hour I give the presentation. If it's too short I can always use repetition for emphsis.

  Thanks guys. The trouble with talks is that although I enjoy giving them if I'm well prepared I hate the preparation.
