..Taht I really shouldn't talk about. That's what I do. I offend the majority of the population of the bogosphere by posting that I'm an Athiest...and I even have a few opinions to back it up. I talk of personal issues..In detail...that are normally kept in check. I voice my opinion when it is relevant (or what I feel like) and everything else is left by the wayside.
Sure, I'm not an everyday blogger, and sometimes it gives me distress, but mostly I am a reactional blogger. Something will key the urge to post, and then I'll do so. When that "Something" isn't there, I shut the Fuck up. If I'm not confident in my stance, I'll state so, and not get upset when I'm proven to be incorrect. It's quite simple to me really. If I offer up a standpoint, it'll be on a subject that I'm dealing with, and I need some feedback to justify ,or invalidate, my position.
Somem may comment, but with inanities. Others will bring somthing "real" to the discussion, and I may or may not respond to them. Sometimes, there will be a link to a post that I haven't visited in weeks that is relevant to the talk.
For the most part, the most important silences that I've heard are
in regard to religion. It's a touchy subjuct, and it is one that is extremely difficult to talk about, but I am not afraid to breach the subject.
Sometimes yoo have to disclepline your folka in order for them to achieve thier potential. These thingd are important to an EGO, so it's importa nt to see it for what it is...AN OPINION.
I'm certain that people wonder why I'm a "Closet Extremist", and there's your reason this is why I keep it "closeted" for such a long tiime. If it is a correct "idea" from me, I want it to stand on it's own merits, and not"" Necesarily
What the evidence can currently proscribe.
Considerit a weakness.

You're an atheist?
Whoda thunkit?
Look, I'm a Christian. I am also a Mother, a Wife and an occasionally snarky bitch.... I come here to read about your thoughts because I enjoy getting another person's perspective (and you work on elevators! And occasionally paint boats!)
Personally, I don't care if you are an atheist -- fine. YOU ARE A GOOD WRITER. That is why I stop by............. You have *never* offended me.
I'll tip a toast to you tonight. Sounds like you have had a rough day.....
Posted by: Richmond at August 11, 2005 09:07 PMThank you very much for the kind words. Now, if I can only stop drunk-blogging, my typo's can be limited. You'll be on my blogroll shortly.
Posted by: Johnny - Oh at August 11, 2005 09:11 PMI wasn't aware you had offended anyone with your atheism. I'm not sure that type of person is one I would want to read my blog... one that cannot have an open mind that we all think independently.
