My father died today. I have gone through this before but at that time I was religious. This, I think, made coping easier. But now that I am no longer religious I believe I may have more…Continue

My college is lacking an atheist group and I have been thinking about starting one. But I have rarely been a part of any sort of group so creating one is a mystery to me. Any tips, suggestions, or…Continue

Lydia replied to Lydia's discussion Miracles and statistics
"Thank you! I don't mind being wrong. The only reason i didn't like this persons use of the word miracle was because I could not find any other meaning to it that seemed accurate for the way it was being used. But thanks for finding…"

"The ancestors of your family survived, against the appalling odds. So the people you know exist. Since you can only be related to people who exist, this wasn't terribly miraculous.

Lydia replied to Rayray's discussion Church sign says atheists have "nothing!"
"I would only laugh at this sign. If the community of the religious have to display such things, it is out of veiled desperation. It makes them feel better to vocalize their "superior" beliefs. Let them have their petty blows. It only…"

feralboy12 commented on Lydia's blog post Passage of Youth
"No, I wouldn't consider atheism to be "fulfilling." Then again, I don't think it's really supposed to be. It's life itself that should be fulfilling--atheism is the shedding of a grand superstition, a superstition that…"

Passage of Youth
It is late (or rather early) and I find myself restless and awake. I wonder at how my life has changed, at how differently I see the world and the people in it. Just a few years ago I was so much the opposite of who I am today. I find myself thinking, where would I be, who would I be If I had decided not to leave faith behind? Would I be happy? Certainly not. I am still as lost as I was with God trailing behind my every step. But now I can make choices freely, not having to take direction from…See More

Tammy Fraley replied to Lydia's discussion Death Without God
"I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My father died 9 years ago. I was an atheist then when he died. Hell I've been an atheist all my adult life actually. This may sound kind of silly, but it's not meant to be. The way I dealt with that…"
Richard Lawrence replied to Lydia's discussion Death Without God
"Lydia,
Death is one of the unfortunate facts in the universe; it just sucks. You'll cope and you'll move on and as with any healing process it will be painful at times. One thing being an atheist bestows on you is a unique strength of…"
Gia Cunningham replied to Lydia's discussion Death Without God
"Hi Lydia,
I'm so glad to hear you are doing a little better after a few weeks. Our attachments, connections and reliance on those we love have a profound, mysterious and often confusing effect on us when they die. Although there is a general…"
