atheistic love is still love

so i live in North Carolina and being a atheist you can only Imagen the turbulence i go though in the never ending search for a nice person of the opposite sex. i guess the term "it's me and you together but just you in your belief" is to literal so tell me ladies and gents how hard is it to find someone to be with with there religion getting in the way?

Hi Ryan!

As has been discussed so many places on this site I think there are a lot of closet Atheists out there. I would imagine especially among the younger generation. Personally I just can't see myself with anyone religious. It's simply too big an obstacle and it's not just the religion but the general worldview and way of thinking that goes with it.

I know that makes things harder and lonelier for us but trust me on this one; better to hold out for someone compatible than try and force a square peg into a round relationship hole. Sure, there's the purely physical aspect of a relationship but that too is SOOOOOO much better when shared with someone you respect!

i agree whole heartily.

i began talking to a female since i posted this and she is very much religious but when i talk to her i don't see her religion i only see her and thats all i'm hoping for...for someone who wont force their way of life down my throat. and i guess in a world full of blind bigots thats all you can ask for .

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

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.

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…

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…
