Black Texan Atheist Here <3

Hello there,

I joined A.N. a few months ago, and hadn't had a chance to "formally" introduce myself! I'm Asia of the meh state of Texas. I've been out of the atheist closet for about 2.5 years now. Raised Baptist, found Jesus, then "accidentally" lost his number, found him again 2 years later hitting on some drunk guy at a party =).

Edit: Just to let y'all know, I'm writing from Hempstead, TX...yee friggin haw xD

An atheist in Texas that is out of the closet? How have they not found and killed you yet?
Lol, but, that aside, welcome to Atheist Nexus! I do hope you enjoy your stay!

(Question: Is your name Asia? Just making sure I understand.)

'ello! I moved to TX 4 years ago, and was dreading being surrounded by bible bashers - luckily it aint happened yet. Closest I got to "coming out" was telling a mormon evangelist that I reckoned that the book or mormon was a hysterically funny fantasy book. The look on his face was priceless.

Buenos dias, Asia. <--we're just shattering one stereotype after another here. Atheist who lives in Texas, who's name is Asia and speaks spanish. LOL. Either way, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance. Thankfully Texas is big enough to accommodate theist and nontheist alike.

Me tambien -- regarding spanish. I speak very little. I'm talking -- infinitessimal. But I do know just enough to get beat up. Texas can be daunting. But it kinda makes up for in cheap real estate. What with supply and demand -- and all....
