site update today
I did the first major site update today. The site was offline for about 10 minutes while I backed up the content and the file system. Then I copied the drupal 6.15 files over the original drupal files, ran the update script to update the database, found no errors in the update log, and put the site back online.
If anyone sees anything strange let me know!

The New Atheism?
If you ever talk to atheists about God, religion, or spirituality, then you should be familiar with the New Atheist philosophy.

Do you believe that all major religions originated in the same divine source with messages that were tailored for a specific time and place? Do you believe that these divine messages may have become corrupted over time and a new message is needed to meet the needs of today? Are you looking for a spiritual home that teaches these truths and is based on this universal outlook?

Background
Respect the Environment
Humans are in a sense outside of nature in that our actions and purposes may not be limited by nature in the sense that all other creatures on earth are limited. This gives us a unique ability and resposibility with regard to the environment. We can preserve and enhance it or we can destroy it. Our spiritual responsibility is to protect the environment so that we pass a healthy and vibrant planet and biosphere on to our descendants.
