from Dissonant Friday, May 25, 2007 - 09:54 (Agree/Disagree?) Heh, "Christian Depression". That is funny! What's next, "Jewish Breathing"? Maybe "Buddhist Hygiene"? I thank God, every day, that I am an atheist. (reply to this comment)

From Ongo Friday, May 25, 2007, 10:06 (Agree/Disagree?) How about atheist metabolism? It's for people who think God is most likely a neuropeptide. (reply to this comment)

From Dissonant Friday, May 25, 2007, 10:26 (Agree/Disagree?) The temporal lobe seems the best place to find God. (reply to this comment)

From vix Friday, May 25, 2007, 13:44 (Agree/Disagree?) Eh I can't think of anything to say. I'm so not on form tonight. All I could come up with was deviled eggs, but that's just too vulgar for the gods, isn't it. (reply to this comment)

From Dissonant Friday, May 25, 2007, 16:45 (Agree/Disagree?) Quite vulgar. Nobody really likes deviled eggs, not even a Devil. Besides, I would suspect BBQ is usually on the menu. (reply to this comment)

From vix Saturday, May 26, 2007, 03:42 (Agree/Disagree?) Barbecued soul of vixen was consumed in the darkest hour of night. Felt pretty good, actually. (reply to this comment)

from Ongo Bongo Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - 06:40 (Agree/Disagree?) Many Christians share an unexamined assumption that the mind is synonymous with "spirit." I seem to recall people in TF teaching something to the effect that "thoughts are the voices of spirits." This assumption about the relationship of mind to spirit is based, imo, on the Aristotlian and Platonic metaphysics that pervaded the 1st century Hellenic world in which Christianity took root. The apostle Paul was clearly well versed in an Aristotlian/Platonic view of the world, which is essentially pre-scientific. Whether the mind has any relationship to something called "spirit" is a matter of faith, or perhaps, quantum physics, depending on how you define the idea of "spirit." Nevertheless, the big news of the last 10-15 years are advances in the science of the brain, where many exciting things have been discovered about the neurochemistry and neurobiology of thought, mood, compulsions & obsessions, emotions, memories, and other constructs that make up a scientific theory of mind.

from neez Wednesday, May 23, 2007 - 01:55 (Agree/Disagree?) err.. So you wrote that article, then came here to recommend it to us? I'll skip the fact that your qualifications seem to be that you're a 50+ ex-pastor*, ex-cultie, factory worker who's got about a million kids. * Actually, I'm guessing that when you say "I worked for many years as a youth pastor for a Christian church."(Taken from: www.stress-familyhealth.net/aboutus.html ). You actually mean "I chose to spend the best years of my life in a wacky sex cult, and all I got was this lousy generic 'youth pastor' title, and a crappy website". Do you realise that depression is a medical condition? And if so, does it come as a surprise to you that christians are subject to medical conditions just like everyone else? Lastly, will you be writing any in depth articles regarding hindu, buddhists, and perhaps satanist depression? (reply to this comment)

From vix Tuesday, May 29, 2007, 14:44 (Agree/Disagree?) Heh. I see there is still some spark genius to be found in the cesspool that this site seems to have become in recent weeks. This pleases me, as I was beginning to wonder if that saying 'you can tell the worth of the (wo)man by the company that (s)he keeps' should be worrying me. I can be at ease for a little longer, at least. (reply to this comment)

From B-Rad G Tuesday, May 29, 2007, 15:53 (Agree/Disagree?) Umm, would you believe I meant to say "Protégé", or can we just pretend that "Protogee" is a word?(reply to this comment)

From vix Tuesday, May 29, 2007, 16:10 (Agree/Disagree?) Yeah, why not. I'm all for pretending once in a while. (reply to this comment)

from Lance Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - 19:08 (Agree/Disagree?) You should watch Bill Moyers special: Faith and reason. It often describes perfectly well my relationship with religious people on this site. I only wish that religious people on this site were that introspective. (reply to this comment)

from Samuel Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - 07:09 (Agree/Disagree?) Thanks you, that was a really good article. I've bookmarked it for future reference. (reply to this comment)

From englishsunset Monday, July 02, 2007, 17:37 (Agree/Disagree?) I appreciate it. I haven't been able to check back since I submitted it. Sure are some strange entries. Sarcasm and negative wit just don't interest me. Watching my own children suffer from the consequences of my religiosity is very painful, but they seem to be chopping their way through the bad stuff.
