Howdy
I've been a non-believer for a few years, but only recently have been talking about it to a select few. I am comfortable with what I am, but I do get a bit lonely here in an ultra conservative part of Texas. I joined this group to meet some like minded individuals and perhaps to join in discussions that I would not be able to have with the local yokels.
Hope to talk to some of you soon,

What part of Texas isn't ultraconservative?
Welcome aboard the good ship Atheist Nexus. Most of the crew here is likeable, though ofttimes a few are a surly lot. The swag is thin pickins, but the fair winds and following seas are fine.
It is rare that one is becalmed by doldrums of religious conviction here.

Welcome to the heathen lot. Land of those who yearn to breathe free, even if only intellectually. Feel free to regale us with yarns of oppression, repression and impressions. While enjoying discussions of atheism itself, I prefer to look forward and discuss where I/we go from here. The political scene in this country needs some serious help.
It's nice to know we have a growing population in our corner of the universe.

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

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

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!!!!!!!!

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…
