Many on this forum have accumulated a library of postings the volume of which--frankly--leaves me non-plussed. Having a posting history of 1,000-plus entries is, therefore, not strange to this lifeboat.
For me however, such copious participation is daunting, and after eight years in your esteemed company, I hope you can in some way identify with my excitement at (only now, finally) approaching my 1,000th post.
I can see this milepost in the near distance. There is a bench next to it, and a water fountain for the refreshment of weary travelers. I really want to make it count.
Since I consider all of you to be my friends--many of you have aided me greatly in my maturation as a person, and my understanding of what it means to be reasonable and skeptical after sloughing off the greasy, care-worn garment of Christian faith--I trust it is not too self-indulgent to ask for suggestions.
Keeping in mind that I have learned much from the rest of you as we have toiled to keep this raft on a steady course, and that my contributions are limited primarily to the perspective of a former minister, what topic of discussion would be worthy of a One Thousandth Post?
This is an informal survey, so all responses are welcome, even if it's just "Fuck you, who cares?" or the more Euro version "Bugger off, I can't be arsed".
Thanks
