ulalume @ulalume (713) • United States 10 Aug 09

This is really starting to annoy me, in correlation with the 500 post count to post rule. A few days ago I had reached 500 posts, and was able to copy/paste some links. The next day a message came up saying I had not reached 500...

ulalume @ulalume (713) • United States 31 Jul 09

Before I begin, let me inform you all in a straightforward way that I am an atheist. However, I do like to think about different religious concepts, and one that recently jumped into my mind is the one concerning Jesus and his...
