Flipping through an email archive, I came across someone with an email address at 'atheist.org'. Atheism's one of The Big Religions which I have trouble with, because there's a lot of silliness involved in some of the philosophical standpoints people take. This guy, however, signed his letter
'In the name of the best within us,'
Which is in my opinion the best way to go about it if you can't bring yourself to believe in a supreme being - faith in yourself and those around you. He's got as tough a row to hoe as anyone else I know, with that philosophy.
Comparison-shopping for philosophies? No, just noting strategies others have when they're different from the norm, and coherent. hmm.
On the other hand, this is the same list where one person has the following sig:
*************************************************
I WANNA BE ARIEL
she's got whosits and whatsits galore
