Default qark begins

G'day all initial thread from qark.

"Faithful or faithless" - prefer theist or non-thiest. (You can have faith in another animal or thing).

Primary reason for signing up - In search of archaeological trail. My understanding of doco's has me believing that the more the archaeologists dig, the more that they bury the religious troika. (Any suggestions where the path might start?)

Secondary reason - any laid back thread discussing the conflict for a primarily instinctive animal to behave in a primarily objective rational way.

Hi, Qark.

This is a message sent to all who find their way to these forums.

We like people, and we like facts too!

We're friendly but we're skeptical, and if somebody calls for proof, it's not an accusation. Only the strong ideas thrive here: we try to respect people. (We do not tolerate personal abuse.)

You may already have visited these other handy places:
* New Member Information
* Welcome from AFA president
* For those interested in learning, I recommend the Atheism Resource Thread maintained by Fearless.
* And a quick look at our reserved spot for belief-based discussion, Fantasy Island, includes The Great Big List, a sort-of "things we've seen before" for those of faith, and general rules of argument for the forum.

If you've got questions, please ask. Moderators have red name tags, but many of our friendly people may have the answers you need.

Enjoy the forums. We hope to see plenty from you in discussions.

Have fun.

I will have to have a look, but tomorrow may be better, seems hops and wheat have clouded my judgement.

Hi there qark. Glad you found us

There's an awesome geological trail in the Flinders Ranges. Highly recommeded if you haven't been there. Stay at Wilpena Pound as your base and off you go!

Hope you enjoy the fora.

Thanks for all the welcomes, I'll have to thread my way around to see what's happening elsewhere on site.

Prefer archaeo trails to the geo ones. Nothing like hard anthro history to squish the life out a myth or three and add support to the nature of us instinctive beasts.

As for semantics...the devil is in the detail.
