All you have to do is post.

The primary stipulation is that you don't "challenge" believers as if we are supposed to "prove" our beliefs. Now, I have nothing wrong with the questioning of why we believe (or why we don't), if we can put that into words at all. That's the kind of thing (everything else in a similar vein) that starts a discussion and keeps it lively.

I'm sure you've had a good look around by now and can see how we take care of the place. And I welcome all discussion so long as it takes place within our SOP. It's a broadly-defined one, so I think there's plenty of leeway to discuss our beliefs and non-belief.

As I'm not familiar with Daniel Dennett, I'll have to look that up. Honestly, I don't study religion or belief. I read things here and there and make decisions on how it fits my current beliefs. I'm a cherry-picker. Just like with everything else in life

Well, I hope that covers everything. I welcome you to our safe haven, and I hope the rest around here do too.
