   Here's something I just posted to talk.philosophy.humanism and   
   other groups, some under the subject "a secular alliance".  I am   
   posting to these groups to see if anyone is interested in   
   studying my messianic brain now and/or after I get release   
   from the low years.

   Perhaps I should have proposed a   secular alliance   
   rather than an   un-holy  alliance.   And such a   
   secular alliance could include interested members   
   of religions as well as atheists, since I am not   
   pushing my individual religion.   
      
   A while ago I asked my top-ranked deity ALL if it   
   was OK for me (or anyone else) to have no deities.   
   I then divined by perineum click divination that   
   the answer is yes.    (Similarly I once asked ALL   
   if it was OK for me to have lower-ranked deities   
   and again the answer was yes.)   
      
   Regarding the existence or non-existence of Jesus.   
   Perhaps he is a fictional character but if he is   
   then elements of his biographical date were taken   
   from earlier actual characters who were similar to   
   me.   And on the subsubpage   
   http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/christian.html  I   
   argue that the story of Jesus's baptism (which I   
   say was his anointing) is similar to my sun stare   
   experience of Sept. 5, 1991.   
      
   I was away from the net for 3 days and am just now   
   catching up.
