Helloooooo, nurse!
Hey, I'm Steven... 25, never married, no kids...currently in the US Army, though I'm not your typical army boy. Got one more deployment and then I'm getting out and moving on.
Hello all :)
Wow, I've never been part of a singles blog (actually, never ANY kind of blog.) Everyone here seems so young and techno-hip. OK, here goes... I'm a single gal, 55 y/o, 5'4" tall, 135#. I love hiking, X-country skiing, cycling, etc. I live in Central Point, OR. It's a pretty small town--and quite "redneck." I love living in the country (I have a small farm and raise goats as a hobby.) But the "singles scene" is very sparse for an Atheist. Just to connect with a guy via email would be great. I work full time in a govt ofc (State Hwy) where I am the Quality Assurance Specialist (basically, I check to make sure all the paperwork is in order before we pay the contractors.) I also love to write (I have written several articles for "American Atheist" mag.) The last guy I really was attracted to--and he claimed he felt the same way--turned out to be Seventh Day Adventist. Worse yet, he's a "YEC" (Young Earth Creationist.) He ended the relationship due to my Atheism. Funny, I could accept his beliefs, but he couldn't accept my non-beliefs. Oh well. I'd love to hear from anyone out there, just to let me know there's hope.
You know, I've had the same sort of experience. Anyone I get involved with will definitely know my thoughts concerning God and God-belief, but I can tolerate it if my partner has that particular mental virus. However, the religious women I've known typically refuse to tolerate it if *their* partners are *not* religious, and won't get involved with an unbeliever. Maybe it has to do with wanting to meet their spouses in Heaven.
That's pretty much my experience, too. I could deal with some vague level of religion, but in every relationship I've had with a theist, it only took a few months before she was wondering why I didn't want to go to church with her.

Not sure how I'd deal with the Young Earth Creationist part, Carol. If someone is THAT devoid of scientific knowledge ... just, I dunno.

And I'd be worried if we ever decided to have kids. I sure as hell wouldn't want to raise my kids Christian.
Agreed on most of this... the relationships I've had have all been with religious people, simply because it's so hard to find anything else. However, for the most part, we managed to get along on that score, as long as we agreed to pretty much stay off the subject. The few discussions we did have, though, wound up largely the way you said - she was much more bothered by the fact that I DID NOT believe in imaginary beings, than I was by the fact that she DID.
Hi, Carol!

Hey, don't feel out of things; we're not all 20-somethings here. Some of us are downright well-seasoned!

I know exactly where Central Point is; I've been through there a couple of times. Always kind of wondered why it was called that, since it doesn't seem very centrally located in the state.

We're kind of neighbors, on a national scale; I'm a ways north of you, near Seattle.

I suspect that the reason religious people can't stand to be around atheists is that they know, at some level, that their beliefs are irrational, and are afraid that, without constant reinforcement by other believers, they will eventually succumb to logic and clear thought, and begin to realize that they are living in a delusion.

At least I hope that's the reason.

Anyway, welcome!
I was the opposite--I ended my last relationship in part because I couldn't deal with the person's theism but I think it was more due to his hypocrisy and lack of ability to discuss his beliefs without throwing a tantrum. And boy oh boy did he get pissed off when I pointed that out by saying "Not only do I not believe in god but I also don't believe in your Catholicism. You say you're a Christian but you act like an atheist."
:-D

It's amazing how many Christians I know like that, yeah.
Don't have a photo. Am 40, but look younger. I'm 5'8", 115 lbs. I modeled long ago. Never married, no kids. Am a pesci-ovo-lacto-wahtever vegetarian. I love Objectivism and organization/efficiency. I read alot, am an Independent/Libertarian. I love animals and nature, yet like the sophistication of the city. Live in the country by myself ( and 30 cats and 2 large dogs). Have no job skills really and my big mouth often causes me trouble at work, so have tons of employment issues. Don't really talk to my family and am a line wolf.
Am a tomboy inside, but girlie on the outside. I like conservative-looking men, clean-cut, mainly Nordic-types. Am a Realist and have a sharp tongue and am impatient. Like men who are strong enough to appreciate my wit ( or__it). Short or tall not important, but body hair icks me out. I'm so picky I may always be alone and that is better than being with the wrong person. But, haven't given up.

A what? So, you do eat those things, or you don't? Eggs and milk-products are allowed, in vegetarianism, anyway. It's veganism that cuts out ALL animal products. Fish would knock you out of being a pure vegetarian, yes.
