I suppose I call it a religion just to show its an alternative to those cult religions. I really don’t care what you call it in the end.

I’ll look into John Locke, thanks for the reference. Morals have been around as long as people have been co-existing. The basics are universal, as Locke seemed to have figured out. But putting a god in the mix doesn’t change anything and is definitely not needed in the recipe. I am proof of that because I am moral and I am godless, as is my husband and other atheists that I know.

If you feel a higher power makes logical sense, that’s ok with me, as long as you’re not forcing your logic down my throat, which you don’t seem to be doing at all. But I am not sure I follow that logic from what you have here. Like I said, in the case of morality, god is not needed at all, in fact when mixed with the major religions, god and morality are pretty much a recipe for disaster and cruelty to humans, animals and the planet, in my experience.

Now, about linux. I tried wine and there was another one I tried too, I found out about it on Lifehacker. It was a program to run windows and any windows programs inside of linux. I can’t remember the name. Neither worked no matter how hard I tried to figure them out and get them to run. When I was running linux, I felt like I had been dumped in the middle of Botswana with no translator and no language dictionary. All I had were my wits, and they were insufficient to overcome all of the problems and bugs and nonworking issues I had. Someday I’d like to try again though. But not any time soon, not till I have a geek who will talk me through it. Everyone should have a geek as a best friend. Would you like an application? LOL
