I never did like "brights". It comes across as arrogant.
​
I tend to describe myself as non-religious; "irreligious" seems a bit too strong.

Re: ...is still an Atheist
Looks to me like a many "atheists" are "Hedging their bets."
I would guess that most atheists are not making any bets to hedge.

So it would seem that a lifetime of study, mediation (meditation?), introspection, and life experiences is not acceptable to you, either.
What shadow71 believes, and how he comes to those beliefs are up to him. As long as he does not try to impose those beliefs on others, I have no problem with him. And if he wants to express those beliefs in public, I don't have a problem with that either. That's what free speech is about.

See message 183
You don't have to do that. Most people here will see Message 183 anyway, and would prefer not to see the multiple repeats of "see message x". So instead, just click on the "has not yet responded" line to indicate that you have seen the message.
