LONELY ATHEISTS
Information
This is a group for atheists who are finding it hard to find others to talk to. Not only am I an atheist, but a lesbian as well, so you can imagine how hard it is to find people to talk to. This group is for all those who just want someone to talk to and relate to

The sporadic acute pangs of loneliness

Living alone obviously implies a certain element of, well, being alone - albeit not necessarily loneliness. Most times, one can immerse oneself in work, a hobby, a book, or some other distraction. …Continue

my best friend decided he didn't want to hang out with me anymore. He was my best friend so it hurts a lot. When people find new friends to hang out with, they don't care about you anymore.

lonliness can be brought by the fact that yo uare different compared with the others around.. I am lonly since I am in the middle of the centre of Anglican Church surrounded by religious people thta are far more fundamentalist that they admit.. I suppose that a nerd, goth with bisexual tendencies is not the mainstream prefference...

Sorry to hear that Michael OL. I hope you are able to find another companion that is supportive of you.

Many here have posted that they are lonely because they have been shunned by the mainstream world suffused by religious dogma. It's true that having an unusual worldview can invite rejection and outright antagonism. But speaking personally, the problem isn't that I have been ostracized because of atheism. Rather, not being a theist, I am unable to partake of community associations and social venues that are religion-based. It's a sort of self-segregation.
But none of this really mattered when I was happily married. My wife left me last year, and the awful feeling of loneliness has been intolerably acute. We live in a rural setting, with little contact with neighbors. But we had each other. Now we no longer have the mutual support that marriage partners bring to one another.

Is there anyone in the London Ontario Canada area who would like to meet for friendship and casual companionship? I am finding it more and more alienating being the only atheist I know. Kathy

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video
Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments 1 Like
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.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad
Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments 2 Likes
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…

My first funeral as an atheist
Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes
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…
