Hi, Susie!
My wife and I were out of town over the weekend, and I don't visit the exer boards every day.
Please clarify this for me: Exactly what are "[my] impressions of you"? Do you think that might be something you're projecting on me?
Please allow me to invite you to correspond with me by private e-mail, if you simcerely would like to let me know what impressions I should actually have of you, I believe that I already asked you to do this, rather than to post things that do not exactly appear to be an attempt to truly understand each other.
Otherwise, I am reasonably sure that most of the other posters would sicerely like to know a generalization of what might represent "all of [your] thinking". I'd sincerely like to know.
Though as you say, you may not be "committed to any belief system", and that your "beliefs are fluid and forever changing as I learn more about the world I live in", surely you must be committed to logic, reason, and examination of belief systems, since that is the entire gist of all the exer boards.
Perhaps one of the basic problems of communication here is that of proper definitions. For instance, what do YOU mean when you say "atheism", or even "christianity"?
Please forgive me for any offenses in past posts--that was not my intention. You should, as we all should, however, play fair; otherwise we have grandstanding and not true commnication; wouldn't you say?
Regards,
OT2 (OldtimerToo)
