British Newbie!
Hi, my name is Dawn and I live in Newport, South Wales. I was born in Birmingham and grew up in the West Country not far from Bristol, North Somerset. I am lucky in that I was brought up by an agnostic mother and an atheist father so never had the religion thing forced on me.I did become a Pagan for a few years after my son Aiden was stillborn in Dec 1992, obviously a reaction to that event although I didn't realise it at the time. I recovered from this brief interlude of insanity after going to University and getting an education, graduating in 2006 with a first class honours degree in archaeology. I have been a field archaeologist for four years now and its brilliant!
I have been married and divorced twice and have four surviving sons and two grandsons. I met my partner Dave at university, he was also doing archaeology and we now work together all over the UK. My hobbies include fags, cider and Punk!!!

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film. The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons. He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

My first funeral as an atheist

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
