Howdy - this sounds like it will be a good place to hang out now and then....

1. I think it should be fun here.

Religion really has a critical place in the discussion of US and international politics. I look forward to having a safe place to discuss it, where we specifically avoid the circular firing squads discussions and focus on coalition building and increased understanding.

While I eschew labels, I have found some resonance with the term apatheist. I don't know if there is a god or not, nor do I really care. It would do little to change my life. I am also a religionist in the same way a man can be a feminist and I support non-believers, particularly in their goals of decreasing prejudice/marginalization and 1st amendment issues.

Glad to see you here, my friend, and hope you will come around often.
