I’ve
been thinking about dusting off my blog for a couple years now.All the reasons for distancing myself from it
have all been defused and filed away. Still, I lacked any good reason to do
it... at least until today!
I received
a letter about my blog.It called the
content of the blog “Sensitive” and “Adult”. What a nice thing to say.I’ve always thought of myself as sensitive
and mature.No one other than “The
Blogger Team” reached out.I am both
honored and thrilled to dust off the old blog and start writing a little
more.
Thanks
“The Blogger Team”!
BTW,
here is the letter they wrote to me:

I am an adult onset atheist. I cannot blame parents, society, or an unhappy childhood on my decision to abandon all things theist. I clung for a while to a deist god, but it too was eventually thrown onto the trash-heap. Why insist that I am believing in a “god” when “gravity” or “electromagnetic radiation” are better names? I finally found that I was clinging to the weakest shadow of a deist god because I connected the belief in this imaginary entity with so many good things in the world. One day I realized that those good things would be better without the residue of a belief in god contaminating them.
