Why do these threads get so much attention? There are so many different threads here, threads that discuss what matters to people albeit on a secular level.
Secular doesn't mean devoid of feeling, or absent of beliefs - my experience is one of richness, colour, creativity, awareness that grows with learning and a fluidity to change and develop - NOTHING set in stone.
There's so much in the line of threads - even one page (click 'back' and look at all the diferenet titles), so much to think about.
Do you know this is the only place in my real life where this discussion/argument re-occurs over and over.....
It's more than possible to live without it - it's actually fun to live without it!
