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.

Comment by Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 6:48pm I MUST read or go bananas. Reading is something I've done ever since starting school & discovering libraries. I have a grade 10 education, so I feel reading is learning & not just entertainment. Reading, music, & pets are my favorite things. My husband might fit in there someplace too.....hahaha!!!!
Comment by The Flying Atheist on August 17, 2012 at 5:33pm Patricia, I have a small amount of atheist books but nothing I'd refer to as a collection. When I read I mostly like history, science and non-fiction books. I wish I had more time (more discipline?) to sit down and read more. I'm making a concerted effort to read more. I love watching movies and listening to podcasts, so my attention goes in many directions.
Comment by Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 5:06pm Hey Flying....atheism of course, but I like biographies, suspense fiction, true stories, scientific, as long as it's in plain language, cooking ideas, learning computer/mp3 players/printers, how to's, etc. Recently I've discovered borrowing from my local library & downloading to my pc & or transferring to my e-reader, so my scope has just increased a lot without even leaving the house.
Comment by The Flying Atheist on August 17, 2012 at 4:35pm Patricia, what type of reading materials do you collect?
Comment by Patricia on August 17, 2012 at 4:25pm I collect reading material, music cd's, & concert dvd's so not much point in photos of them.
Comment by Ian Mason on August 17, 2012 at 2:52pm The teapot collection has mostly been packed away. There's only about 20 on display now. It all started just over 8 years ago after my last alcohol relapse. The urge to collect them has faded now. I did start collecting weapons but recent changes in the law in Denmark has made that impractical and perhaps illegal. I'll take some photos of the pots. In the meantime.....
Comment by The Flying Atheist on August 17, 2012 at 1:51pm I always love hearing about and seeing what people collect. Because interests are so varied, it's always fun to see the plethora of items that have inspired each and every one of us to have our own mini-museums or galleries d'arte.

ContinueNathan Young That's true Jonathan Brown. At one time I was a member of the MRA board when it was more open towards hearing an orthodox Mormon views on things. Since that time the MRA is now under the stewardship of a new 'religion' the 'Society for Humanistic Mormonism' which is merely another apostate religion. It will fail just like all other apostate forms of Mormonism have failed including might I add the Mormon "Transhumanist" Association and their kind, and all the front…

Hello fellow atheists! I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims. I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor.
I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists". I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…
