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.

Ahh shucks!
Alysn may the FSM be with you in your search for a new place to land. I wonder if sending messages to the noodles does any good? Probably not. I wish you well.
I am fully and completely a Texan - with all of the craziness, I love this land. It sort of becomes a part of your blood and skin. The heat we love to complain about and the vastness is true beauty.

It occurs to me that the regional differences that arise out what is loosely termed "the culture wars" isn't really to be found on a map. The reason that Texas and other places, particularly in the south, are so consistently contrarian may have its roots in unresolved issues dating back to the war between the states but it is opportunistically fueled today by only one festering, toxic institution---religion. It's as lethal as small pox and as potentially evil as Nazi work camps. Religion is a guaranteed right and there's no challenging that. But 'religion' often needs to be reined in by the people and the government when it "crosses the line" and begins suborns the Constitution. Unfortunately, 'religion' does this periodically and always will as long as it is with us.

Lary9, There is truth in that. Texas however, is more just an independent state of mind - or was.

@Candace - well now darling' even with our extreme amount of crazy christians and fully unscrupulous politicos - the country is beautiful, from the hill country to the Davis mountains in far west Texas to Padre Island, Texas has so much physical beauty. Now if we could just ship off a large part of the population.

I am a native, and I love Texas. I agree with Kit, we need to get rid of some of the population.

I'm from Texas too. The FFRF, Freedom From Religion Foundation, is actually suing the Governor for the prayer event. They state it is a violation of church and state. I'm a member of the FFRF. So, I wonder what will come of it.

Death of a family member
Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 5 Comments 1 Like
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…

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…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
