the comments on freethoughtblogs were way better when they were made by a bunch of smug, angry atheists who tended towards progressivism as opposed to now when they are made by a bunch of smug, whiny liberals who happen to be atheists
the takeaways from this: 1 abe drayton please come back and 2 it's good to grapple with your worst features and try to improve, but don't make the mistake of tossing it out and simply leaving a void. it will just hollow you out and will only make you a different kind of jerk. actively think about the person and community you want to cultivate within and without yourself! take it from me, a hollow girl who is struggling to grow!
