Inasmuch that I formerly celebrated the anniversary of my acceptance of Christ as a child, I will forever celebrate my freedom from that vow to ignorance. The demolition to that faith is irreparable, the construct of religion obliterated. Thank you @RichardDawkins. #atheist#free
Similarity one between Evangelical Christians and Radical Islamists: Both favor “treasures” or “virgins” in heaven, and trash the paradise of the natural world. #atheists#religion#theists#christian#nature#islam
There is little difference between radical Islamists and radical Christians; they both advocate for a theocracy, and they resort to threats of violence when someone disagrees with their version of morality. #athiest#religion#think#theists
I don’t see how a father of girls and a husband of an intelligent woman could refrain from being an ardent woman’s “libber.” Shame on the man who is either, and continues the antiquated, prejudicial, and cruel practice of chauvinism! #Feminism#manfeminist#FridayThoughts
Still in awe of yesterday’s hike and Mother’s resplendence, eager and hungry for more that she proffers to those who are grateful and respectful. #MotherNature#WednesdayThoughts#hiking
“Choked in the sediment of society, so tired of the world, here will your hard doubts disappear, your carnal incrustations melt off, and your soul breathe deep and free in [Mother Nature’s] shoreless atmosphere of beauty and love.” -John Muir
“A throttled elegy wells in me when I notice a box turtle attempting to cross the road, or a venerable basswood tree slated for the chainsaw.” I feel that same mournful dirge as human parasites are destroying the natural world. It isn’t just ours! #preservation#edwardhoagland
Every time someone pulls out their measuring stick for you, beat them back with your own! Never allow people to make you feel that you don’t measure up; set your own standards for life, and be content. #MotivationMonday#inspiration
I couldn’t agree more, @EmmanuelMacron. We did lots of work to protect the environment at the #G7 last year in Charlevoix, & we need to continue this weekend. We need to #ActForTheAmazon & act for our planet — our kids & grandkids are counting on us.
