Well, then.
Dec. 26th, 2006 10:39 amMerry Christmas, everyone. (this might seem a bit premature, but we're 18 hours ahead of most of you)
After serious consideration (namely, reading Dennett's latest book, Breaking the Spell), I have decided that I am an atheist (or Bright, if you are familiar with the concept). I'm not going to try to convince you of my position or fully explain how I got there at the moment, but this is a pretty recent conversion from agnosticism. Now I have to consider how I would like to celebrate the things that I consider sacred outside of religious contexts. Wish me luck.
The weather here is a bit crappy (i.e. rainy, cold, and windy, with a touch of hail), so we cannot collect bees today. Instead, T and I are going to go on a short expedition along the Great Coastal Road.
Anyway, I wish you all well today, whatever your religious proclivities.
