Meeting other singles

In answer to the most recent question: No, I am not male. I am female! In fact, our group is 2/3 woman-moderated. Two women (including me) and one super cool man manage our burning-singles Yahoo group. We take good care of our women members! Over the years, I've talked to tons of women on the playa...

Go Australia!

Too bad I don't live in Australia because I would definitely attend this event!

I've just returned from a visit Down Under. It's truly a beautiful and friendly country that could definitely host a kick-ass party!

Re: Favorite Description of Burning Man ?

I would like to solicit people's favorite one-sentence description of "what it is." This could be something you find incredibly apt or incredibly inapt, doesn't matter. e.g. After my wife's first burn she described Burning Man as Mad Max meets Dr. Seuss in Las Vegas Curiously close to how I saw it,...

And you've admitted you don't know either way. So, since you don't have any evidence either way, how did you end-up an atheist (instead of agnostic or whatever). Do you believe in Santa Claus? What about the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy? Why or why not, if there is no proof either way? It takes ...

Re: An atheist I was born; an atheist I will die!

I've decided to not decide because it's irrelevant to my life, not because I don't want to be wrong. I think it takes more courage to say "I don't know," than to appear to know something either way. You spend so much time preaching what you pretend is so irrelevant in your life that you didn't read...

Re: An atheist I was born; an atheist I will die!

I'd think agnosticism was the most humble because you're not making a declaration of what you believe to be true at all (whereas theists and atheists are). Which is more humble: To admit that what you believe may in fact not be true? Or to simply say that you have no convictions, and therefore cann...
