The World's Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!
Hang With Friends
Information
Come on in, pull up a chair!
Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

But, yes, I will rock my reading and revel in my friends' happiness. And I will behave. ;)

It just kills me, Ruth, because I know these people don't really believe it all. So why do they pretend?

I've attended religious weddings too. I just put up with the clap trap for the sake of a friend. Enjoy the rest!

Oy. I have to sit through a Catholic mass today. AND I have to read a Bible verse as part of the mass. Yikes. The good news is that there will be lots of free booze and food after. And my friend is happy to be marrying her guy. And I figured out a way to walk up to the podium that will not involve me bowing in front of the altar. But I do have to say that silly "The word of the lord" line.

OMS Steph, I sent that pic of the cat on the books to my daughter earlier today because we are SO cat and book people. Isn't it hysterical!?
You have a great Memorial Day Weekend too! My husband is off work next week so he is a happy camper. Supposed to be in the 90's here Sunday and Monday and he works really hard outside, and he can't take it like he could when he was in his 20's, or even 30's!

I meant to add that I'm celebrating by reading the issue of Freethought Today that just arrived in the mail.
Maybe I'll give the cats some extra special cat food that I bought yesterday, too. They'll probably hate it.
