Honestly, the "hooking up" thing hadn't occurred to me. I have so few opportunities for real-word interactions with actual atheists, I figured this might be the next best thing.
Same here.. It wasn't until I read the header of this discussion that I realized "Oh yeah.. That's of course possible as well.. Heh."
Hmm. I seem to be one of the lucky few to live in an environment populated by mostly atheists, or at least agnostics.. More importantly, non-theists.
Unfortunately, the Islam is spreading like AIDS in a Catholic community around here now, and our government is grossly underestimating the danger it poses to our society.. So that sucks.
As a result, it seems, Christianity seems to have decided to rise to the challenge and is now once again also increasing in followers.
Just when we were so damn close to becoming an atheist nation >_/body>
You live in Netherlands, how lovely ;) I haven't seen much Christian activity here in Sweden yet; just the common Jehovah's Witnesses knocking at my door. I have finally cleaned my apartment so I will let them in next time ^^
If I wanted to 'hook up' I could take advantage of the many Nigerian men who message me incessantly on myspace. Apparently, overweight, middle-aged Australian women are irresistable to these guys - and who am I to argue? And they're smart too! They know that all the stuff on my page that says I'M AN ATHEIST is just a ruse, because they're all looking for a 'God fearing woman' to marry and bear their children - and they don't even mind moving to Australia to do it! Nah, not looking to 'hook up' - just seeking intelligent conversation and mental stimulation. ;-)
