My letter was published two days after I submitted it. According to the circulation numbers, tens of thousands read it. The woman to whom I responded, an expert on Atheism, Agnosticism, and Christianity, contacted me with appreciation for having cited her approvingly. She never questioned my description of Agnosticism.

It was because of the few diaries I’ve posted, none have attracted much commentary, and I assumed this one wouldn’t either. Maybe the buzz words "Atheism" and "Agnosticism" attracted attention.

With that disclaimer out of the way, I proceed to examine the few that I understood:

I conducted an admittedly rudimentary search before posting this. If I am being redundant, pointless, or just plain useless please tell me and I'll delete my diary. Read More

After reading David Sirota's powerful populist piece, I realized that he must have transferred some of that righteous anger to me. As I kept thinking about insider journalists defiantly clinging to their turf I was reminded of the following incident in my past which I hope is interesting enough for a diary: Read More
