Atheist Nexus

The World’s Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!

Howdy All,

I've joined up after perusing PZ Myers' wonderful site, and thought it would be good to meet like minded individuals. My background is quite normal; brought up to make my own mind up about religion, and taught to value life above all other things. I'm not new to internet fora, having been involved for a number of years on various internet Horological communities (Horology is the study of time - I'm into watches etc, not gazing at horoscopes to predict my lovelife!).

Lately, I've felt that the need to actually voice my opinion on all things related to religion, as being an atheist/agnostic can be alienating. I was recently in a relationship with a young lady, and we were considering taking it to "the next level" - however, upon finding out about her sincere beliefs in fairies at the bottom of my garden (I kid you not...), I couldn't with a clear conscience commit to her for the long term.

Furthermore, certain members of my extended family have fallen under the spell of religion, and at times, its like bashing my head against a brick wall when discussing topics critical to the world we currently find ourselves in.

Anyway, I hope to make some friends on here and you can add me as a friend on Facebook if you feel like it - just type in the long name I go under and you'll find me.

All the best,

Alex

Hi Alex, welcome to A/N. Joining Groups here is a great way to meet people with similar interests. There might be a horology group, idk. There *is* one for "born atheists" and for cat lovers and star wars geeks and everything else.

Feel free to friend me here or check out my blog Angie the Anti-Theist. Sorry about the fairies situation.
Thanks Angie, and I'll have a look at that blog of yours.

Best,

A
