Who could have forseen bringing up religion would caused such a stir? Interestingly I would assume the majority of people here are atheist/agnostic, so is religion a factor? I was brought up Evangelical, my mum was Baptist/Methodist and my dad was CofE. I changed to a Shinto/Zen/Daoist blend as a general observance, not too deep but I still believe in an eternal Lord type Deity.

Assume makes a Donkey out of you and I. My boss back in the 70s used to say that in such a patronising manner that I still have a murderous response to that asinine phrase. I fucking hate it. You can't live without making assumptions based on experience.

Hard to place you age-wise, Felice. One of those weird old / young people. A hideous chimera.

Listening to Lush in your youth puts you maybe between the ages of 44 and 47? ... Drinking all the Budweiser. I don't know. Maybe under 50? ... The Taylor Swift thing. I don't know. I feel I'd have to say under 45.
If you are older than this then I doff my hat.

I was brought up as a "Go to Sunday School so we can have some nookie" kid; I had a brief dalliance with being a rabid evangelical, but was out of that phase once the Rev. felt me up and I twigged what all the groaning in prayer meetings from the teenage girls was about. I suspect that there might be a First Cause, but I certainly don't think that any human codification reflects it, nor does it have any ongoing interest in the human race. And doesn't send aliens* to check on our progress to godhood (or any other kind of hood)... When I am dead I will be gone, baby! *Apply to tenthenemy for your hats...

I'm an atheist, and I think everyone who is religious has made a self-deceiving fuck-witted idiotic childish magical-thinking ill-informed dangerous intellectually vapid choice, except for Jean Paul Sartre.
Right, I'm off to the pub shortly, see you all tomorrow in a nice new clean box.

In terms of time on this planet I think it goes
1) Chumbles 2) Destry 3) Felice
After that, who knows? Ozymandias has probably spent half of his time on this planet so I'm unsure where he fits in.

I think either scubar or dakyl are possibly youngest. Both in their 30's according to the spreadsheet

It seems that this place is not attracting the younger demographic, maybe we should do a TikTok thing to encourage more engagement.

Religion is an advertising campaign for a product that doesn't exist.
Not my words, the words of the late Clive James.
