I'm guessing you meant it would have to be meaningful for any two people who choose to engage in the conversation. For consistency, I try to stay with the same handle in most of what I post though I did post think about it in the name slot once instead of just the subject line alone. In part I will blame that on my touchy mobile device and in part, my not always proof reading before hitting the send button. Anyway, my journey has brought me to atheism as far as a non belief in religion goes, but I do believe in self improvement, building positive self esteem, caring about the world and environment around me but with a realistic sense that human nature has its flaws and I see spirituality as being about progress and not perfection. I do wish to remain anonymous, but the last thing I want to do is play mind games with anyone or post as if two, three or more different people, answer in a thread as if different people or anything like that. What I do realize is that there are a significant number of people who, post family, do not believe in any deities but who are piecing or have pieced their lives together without God or Jesus in the picture, and yet I can see things I relate to or agree with regardless of one's personal journey because the thing we have in common is crawling out of that gutter called "the family" and a lot of other aka's.
In this way I can see this board of value to me because I don't view it as a place to proselytize for any belief or non belief as much as what works in moving forward? That's going to differ significantly from person to person.
