I think you misunderstand me. I'm not anti-God. I certainly do not deny the possibility that God exists. But, since (if He exists) he does not really intervene in human affairs, I think we should focus on natural means to improve the human condition (improving our understanding of the natural world, taking care of each other for its own sake, etc.) instead of supernatural means (going to church, praying, etc.) Volks, I think our goals are the same: improving the human condition and pursuing truth, we just have differing opinions about the best way to pursue these ends. I would very much be interested in having a reasonable discussion with you on this topic. That is, if you think this thread sucks, improve it with some of your wisdom.

Believe it or not, I just don't want to attract much attention. On the other hand, I like to attempt weird posts once in a while, especially considering that I do not want to take life too seriously.
There was a movie called "Mon nom est personne" (loosely translated as "My name is No One") a spaghetti-western with Terence Hill and some other guys. I always thought that was a crazy title. How can someone be "no one" or called "nobody", etc? I have to say I learned my humor (a bit weird, sarcastic, absurd) from reflections over paradoxical situations, or double-entendre.
"What are you?" triggers a lot of ideas in me, and understanding some will be honest, witty, funny (or very funny) and sometimes antagonistic in their replies, I feel mine is just... absurd.
No concerns here, and believe me, that is for the fun of posting.
On the other hand, I recognize the helper by the way you post, and I am greatly appreciative of your gesture. Myself, I am on a 24/7 pager as the back up for a Crisis Call Center I manage, so I can empathise.
And to get back on topic, you, ghporter are:
I'm a Pantheistic Multiperson Solopsist.
That sounds like a very complicated thing to be. Especially the solipsistic part! You mean you create your own Gods as you go?
All the best to you all, Athens too, hope you find your way to funnier things!
