(725 posts)Retired guy with 68 full revolutions around the sun by this time in my life.
Interests include good books, classical music, playing and listening, social betterment efforts in my community, trips to Europe, California for a week or two for each, every year, if I can afford it on my retirement pensions and the little money I make in a small consulting part-time business advising all sorts of public employees on labor-related contracting issues, (union and non-union).
I was a vanilla Congregationalist who actually thought of going into the ministry before I went to college. Then I actually read about half the Bible and gave up the idea of finishing reading it; there were so many OTHER good fiction books and interesting factual history to spend the rest of my life reading.
Recent health issues have me reading DU almost daily instead of watching sensationalist news on any and all TV news channels, local and national cable.
I have a fondness for Rachel Maddow, (she should be the host of Meet The Press by now, except she's a woman with a doctorate, and Chuck Todd never even finished college...fact)
Keep up the good work. Some of the snarky defensiveness I find on the OTHER Religion forum just makes me browse that place once or twice a month; they simply keep re-hashing their same (non)-arguments over and over. This is the best forum for fresh thoughts about the silliness and lack of logical thought that all religions continue to represent and apologize-for and push.
