Anyway, welcome. We'll get along just fine as long as you know the difference between there and their and know where to put an apostrophe.

Welcome thinkaboutit. Glad to have you with us. I'm sure you'll get used to the place pretty quickly and you'll be an expert like the rest of us before much longer. 

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.
Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.
There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

Welcome to the forum, ThinkAboutIt (psssst....I've seen McCulloch misusing apostrophes
)

Par la nuit si noire.
Tu attends, et je tombe
Dans tes ailes blanches,
Et je vole,
Et je coule
Comme une plume.''''

Every once in a while, you see a sense of humor in some of our most intelligent members. Cherish it because they will eat you alive if you aren't careful, LOL.
BTW: Don't worry about your tickets. Just toss them in the garbage, if he comes for you, I will protect you, umm, maybe.
