Good Lord! You are wrong. Don't you know your theology? It's not Hogan or Hortense.  It's 'Humbug'.

H for Haploid.

It stands for Harold.  As in "Our father, who art in heaven, Harold be thy name..."

Sounds like "Gladly The Cross-eyed Bear".  ;)

Blasphemy is a victimless crime. :=)

Of course.  There is no deity to care about words.  But churches get hit by lightening.  When has the American Atheist HQ been struck?

Wonders never cease.

Well, I've been an "American Atheist" Life Member since before Madelyn Murray and family was killed by the employee nutcase in 1995.  You should read about it...  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madalyn_Murray_O%27Hair

I was an atheist since April 1944. ;=)

How old ARE you, LOL?  You got me beat by by almost 20 years and I realized I was an atheist about age 12 (1962).  Must be enjoying your 80s by now. And I thought I was one the old guys...

I will have to go easier on you. Can't cause a heart attack on one the originals... ;)

Ah well, you are claiming atheist from birth.  I count mine from when I understood what it meant.  You have 6 years on me (1950 that way) .  But I'll respect that.  Until I forget, LOL!

"Nailed"  LOL!  But I meant more about when I rationally realized it.  True, I was never a theist, but there were years when the specific concept of "atheism" had not yet firmed in my mind.

But I'll tell you a brief story.  My Mom was a lapsed Catholic who married a vague protestant.  Mom's parents loved Dad but hated his irreligion.  One day when I was about 7, Grampa took me for a walk.  Who doesn't like a walk with a Grampa?

He led me to a church.  I felt cheated.  I didn't like the place at all.  It seemed all crazy.  But I didn't know why until a few years later when I began to be able to think about things more clearly.

You're good, I like that.

Wow, you are even older than my grandpa.  My grandpa has diabetes too. A lot of old people have that. It's something to do with all the sweets you've eaten all your life. My grandpa has to take medication for his diabetes and it's a lifelong thing. Apparently there is no cure for diabetes. You just have to control it.

Diabetes can be caused by excessive sugar intake, but also by low insulin production to process sugar.  That last is hard because the only energy supply to the brain (so I've read) is sugar.
