...we had b3ta.com/board/9709521 ... which is pretty much what the whole religion thing does mean to me anyway. Having an invisible friend doesn't actually mean you have to believe in annihilation, terrifying people, refuting dinosaurs or chopping off anatomy.

But, meh. I realise the fundies get the headlines and us wishy-washy Church of England types don't. That said, Rowan Williams lives in our village. He a) rocks and b) has teh best beard evah.

with respect i think you've kind of missed the point
you sound awfully nice but if you examine your religion, aside from the nice social aspect of village life and jumble sales, it is based on the same foundations and principles.

we dont need to explain what happens over the horizon any more with 'here be dragons' we know it is simply the american continent. (having said that some of them are really big)

its the same with - why are we here. what happens when i die. i'm scared.

theres no need. its just life.

the problem is your 'fundie' (inbred) cousins are in charge of a lot of arms and influence. and they wont just let it go.

from what you say it sounds like you are in fact a Humanist.
