Um, 'cept for those belief systems that don't treat abstinence as a virtue? ;) Just stoppin' by to wish you... presents. Yes, and not necessarily the kind you unwrap, unless that is what would make you happiest now. I'm sitting here waiting for coffee to perk, feeling much older after braving too many nasty shopping crowds, reading your blog and thinking, "Infidel's pretty awesomely say-it-like-it-is." And I wish you happiness. :)
Thanks for stopping by, Chell -- always like to see your comments here.
Unfortunately it seems to be the most grim, sour, purse-lipped, life-denying, pro-abstinence belief systems that get promoted to the rank of "religions", thus increasing their authority. Sigh.
Enjoy the coffee, and happy holidays (here, at least, I won't be yelled at for saying that.....).
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
