Re: What does your BookTalk.org username mean?
I did explain my username in an earlier post but should have included an explanation of my logo/avatar.

Re: What does your BookTalk.org username mean?
The ‘old ways’ have always been of interest to me. Some years later, while sitting by the river trying to ignore blackflies and mosquitoes, I was able to fashion a stone cutting tool by breaking one large stone on another. It took some time, several tries and bruised knuckles, and it wasn’t pretty. ...

Re: Still no atheist logic being shown here
<t>A large % of society depend on the Bible for guidance, therefore it has a positive social value as have other Holy books.

Re: Are You Spiritual?
I am not a theist, however I am a 'spiritual' believer in the anthropomorphic sense.

The Bible has been with us for almost two millennia therefore I believe it has so...
