I used to be pretty active with these guys a few years ago http://atheists.meetup.com/478/ I just joined up again and I haven't made it to any meetings yet, but I'm pretty happy they're still around.
Would love to be part of a meetup or three. Alas, down here at the far south end of Lake Powell, I'm a thousand miles from nowhere.

But if ever you decide to roam to Glen Canyon, drop me a line!
Saint George anyone? :(

i know they meet up a lot up in Davis County. I went to a meeting at the library and watched a film. It was a good time.
Hello there, Brady. I live in Syracuse (outside Layton). Looking to meet some fellow followers of Atheos as well. The Salt Lake City Skeptics link there looks promising, and if you ever want to get together and organize something, let me know. I suppose I could always take the bull by the proverbial horns and all that.
Oh schikes, I just saw how old that post was. Oh well, offer's still open :)
Yeah, Sean, it looks like something is in the works for October. Not that skeptics are necessarily atheists, but... well yeah, most are.

Thanks, Remy; I'll definitely keep an eye out for whatever happens to be in the pipes for October. :)
I'm also in Ogden, but we expect to be relocating to the Portland area sometime in the next few years.  Good to know that Atheists of Utah meet (or met) close by.  The site is currently down at the moment, but I'll keep an eye on it.  I don't socialize a whole lot anymore outside of the Internet, but might make an exception if it were a noteworthy event.
Strange coincidence, I moved to portland 4 months ago. This place is amazing for the secular. Make the move now. I would never live in utah again.

I have had a couple of friends that live there tell me the same thing.  I've been planning to move there for many, many years.  Unfortunately, financial or family issues have kept me here, but I'm almost ready to make the leap.  Last year, my wife and I even went to talk to a real estate agent.  I just need to get my business rolling and we'll be on our way. ;)

I feel the same way about Utah.  Once we go, I'm never looking back.

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

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…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 7 Comments

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…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

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…
