I like Hitchens, the old philosophy especially old atheistic writers reminds me of people who were into introductory classes   nichols_ml betrand russell is a pure intellectual, but not someone who was grounded in his own times....almost an atheist monk detached from reality nichols_ml hitchens was a front line atheist, you don't get let off easy....but, i love sam harris, way more Essene, naturalist experiencial folk nichols_ml peterson goes into the wilderness and lives off the land for months at a time, its a spiritualexperience that i love about modern atheists nichols_ml that was his hey day of making college rounds, check him out now, he is doing some pretty tough spritual stuff for a man his age now nichols_ml i will always enjoy the writings of jordan peterson, or michael schermer, but i think sam harris brings it all back around for an atheist like me, the right kind of realist  Father Barnabas ...Nichols, I find it interesting that you, as an atheist, spend so much time in a Catholic room, and no doubt you are cordial and even supportive. But I cannot help but ask, "why?" nichols_ml i think my kind of atheism and religious folk are way closer then my connection with what is happening in this country then it was 10 years ago nichols_ml liberalism to me once once about social freedom, now liberalism is about hate and restrictions Father Barnabas I am not sure what the state of the nation has to do with you frequenting a Catholic room, however, unless you are indirectly saying that you tend to be more conservative in general. nichols_ml i think the first week i came here i got pretty drunk and said some pretty awful things to a folk here in a sexual nature, then you e-mailed me and told me about it, i felt pretty bad about it....
