Good Evening Atheists :)

By definition, I suppose I am what many would call a 'newbie'. I officially declared myself godless as of March 2009. Many events led up to this, but I'll spare you my life story and simply say that I am much happier without an invisible tyrannical sky daddy. For the most part, the atheists I have met up to this point have been witty, kind, considerate, and jovial. I hope that I exude many of the same qualities despite my social awkwardness.

I am a 21 year old student entering my third year of post graduate education. I have received a diploma in Legal Assistance, and I'm working towards a Bachelor of Arts (Anthropology/Classics). Anthropology is my passion and I am fascinated by evolution.

Other passions of mine include singing, dancing, playing guitar/keys, drawing, blogging (or writing in general), reading, and RUNNING. Running is in allcaps, because I am a little obsessed with running.

I hope that I provided an adequate amount of information. If not, please ask me questions. I'm quite fond of questions.

Cheers!

Welcome Andrea!

Feel free to vent or tell your story if or when you find it cathartic. Please make yourself at home and find a group/topic your interested or start one.

I'll also say it was nice of you to include an ass shot for all the singles (and the rest of those of the female persuasion).

I'm sure I'll tell the full story at some point in time. I find that writing prose is a time consuming activity for me, as I'm a bit verbose. I can type over 60 wpm, but I still can't manage to complete a story--mostly due to procrastination. Such is life, I suppose. I am trying to find a topic to which I could contribute, but I feel a bit intimidated by you eloquent folk.

You're welcome (to all the singles)! I didn't even realize that's how it turned out until I put it on my computer. I was going to edit it--but why waste a gratuitous ass shot? ;)

It hasn't started yet, but I can imagine I will be busy for the next 8 months.

I hear you that writing is time consuming. I'm never happy with my syntax structure so I'll end up editing the hell out of my posts, hit Add Reply, then notice I destroyed the grammar in the process. =D

Haha Yes, that sounds familiar... I was raised learning two languages at the same time, so I have to watch for 'Frenchisms' in my writing. xD

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

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…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 11 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
