Signing Atheists
I was going to set up a group for Deaf Atheists, but figured I'd probably be alone in here if I did that so I figured I'd open it to anyone who knows sign language or even interested in learning it.

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.

Booklover: I am SO tired of athletes blaming their wins on "god."
Just once I'd like to hear one say, "I worked my ass off for years perfecting my skills, and I won this medal! I would like to thank my parents and sponsors for supporting me all these years, and my coaches for working with me, etc...."
I guess it will never happen.

Love that picture, booklover! I describes too many people I know!

Great pictures, Tony and Booklover. Stealing for future use, if summer ever comes to Denmark.

lol Tony, that's a great pic. Hey, did anyone watch Gabby Douglas win the Women's All-Around in gymnastics last night. Was so happy for her and Team USA. Then in the interview she said something about giving all the glory to 'god' and then he rains the rewards (or something to that effect.) Really nice that god gave her a gold medal, and other kids her age cancer.

booklover, that was probably me asking about FB. Joan, I would love to be your friend, as well. I think I can learn so much from you there, as well as here.
(one warning...I play a game that generates lots of posts, but they can't be blocked.)

booklover, thanks for sharing your day with us. As to the loss of someone because he/she doesn't like your beliefs, "good riddance!" I know that sounds intolerant, but heck! why be tolerant of someone who isn't tolerant of your ideas? Agreement is not the test of friendship, it seems to me, but rather whether you can speak and you can hear each other. Who knows, there may be common ground between ideas and the only way to find out is to speak your truth and listen to the other.
As to your friend who is "VERY religious", I'm glad she knows how to separate friendship from ideas and you can continue to communicate.
