Have we taken in more heathens?

[amyrose2712]

It seems to me to be more populated here. WELCOME FREE THINKERS!

1. It may just be the novelty-of-the-new here at DU3

My guess is that it will go back to normal in the coming weeks and months.

Or, maybe it's the fact that any thread can hit the latest page, even from posts in the groups. People just may not have known about our little corner of hell.

2. And you can get in without a star

I had a star for a couple years and was able to get in, but after I lost my star (lots of different reasons), I wasn't able to get into any of the groups. Very sad day, that.

4. ^^^ this

i think there will be an influx of a lot of non-regulars in all the groups because of this very reason.

[amyrose2712]

5. Ohh that's what it is. Cool beans.

[sarcasmo]

15. The only reason I paid the minimum to get a star

Was to be able to post in the Atheist group

[Kolesar]

17. The new minimum is $50/year IIRC. That's pretty high.

That's like three magazine subscriptions

[sarcasmo]

18. I agree about 50 a year being high.

You could probably get Time and The Nation and Rolling Stone for the price of D/U.

3. I'm so new I didn't even know there were star restricted groups

I just came on in and started posting like I thought I was supposed to lol...

[amyrose2712]

6. If it wasnt for that Dallas star I'd say I'm glad you did.

GO EAGLES!

[OriginalGeek]

7. lol come onnnnn

y'all got one, let us have one!


It would be better than letting NYG have the division!

[amyrose2712]

11. NEVAH!!!

We NEED this win, now that we are back in the mix.

[OriginalGeek]

12. When I was a young teen I thought the Cowboys lost because god was punishing me

Glad I got over THAT!

[Armin-A]

20. hahaha

you silly

[lindysalsagal]

23. No, silly. God was punishing them.

YOU had nothing to do with it!

[lindysalsagal]

24. Besides, I prefer the term drug-addicted-baby-killing-infidel.

Thank you very much!

[sarcasmo]

19. How bout them Lions, woot woot.

[Curmudgeoness]

8. More posters can't be a bad thing.

New and different ideas. As long as they don't start any shit.....I want to feel comfortable here without having to defend myself or be put through a preceived guilt trip.

[amyrose2712]

10. I concur.

[Kalidurga]

9. Hopefully it is a little of both.

I hope now that anyone can post there are more people posting here. And I hope that there new heathens are created everyday

13. It takes a long time for that stuff to wear off!

Perhaps like many on this board, I was raised a Catholic; or should I say, I was brainwashed to be a Catholic. I had no choice basically since I was essentially incapable of reasoned thought at 4 (I know, slow learner).
But that faith stuff permeates your thought process confusing basic human emotions such as breathing with being gifted with life.
After several decades of losing your family and friends to death - and they never once even send a card, let alone visit - you begin to realize that: Hey! We're no different than the trees, animals, and plants. When you're dead, you're dead.
Then it all starts to come into focus. Let's see now (I'll make this Holiday appropriate)....
god so loved us, that he sent us a baby who grew up to perform all kinds of miracles - never to be repeated again on earth - and let this young man be tortured to death in one of the most horrific murders we ever heard about. Such a nice story! Some call it the Greatest story! I prefer Miami CSI, but I get the picture.
So you, the master of all with infinite power, let your only son be murdered in order to what?? How did that work out? I guess that lotto ticket I asked really has no chance??
I can't comment on the other clubs - I was under the same impression they are - we were the only "true" faith.
Rid yourself of this addiction to mythology and magic and you will find that you can do a pretty job of naivigating life's little crisis's all by yourself. Hell? I think I'll choose cremation.
Merry Friday!

16. Glad my Cherokee father never took me to church.

We are a proud family tree of Heathens.

[MarkCharles]

14. Well, I have already established a reputation at a maverick on

the religious boards, and just got here before the new DU3.

Thanks for the welcome.
