"Hi Rebekah,
Congrats and welcome. I live in Lexington. There are a few atheist/secular humanist groups that meet regularly in Lexington if you are interested."
BrentH replied to AtheistTech's discussion Scientific proof of no god? in the group Atheists who love Science!
"That is tough proposition. "God" is usually defined too broadly to propose a very specific phenomenon that would counter or negate the existence of a god. Theists always move the goalpost of the definition of god. They also argue that…"

"I think your parents planned this to try to convert you. It is an unloving, unaccepting thought. Could you offer to buy them all a nice dinner afterwords and just skip Mass?"

"Depending on how strongly you feel about going to church, eipecac or some sutible substitute may be your ticket out of the ceremony with no hard feelings. I still think attending with minimal participation is easier on the stomach (even a…"

"It's hard to say what you should do, since it really depends on what matters more to you.
That being said, it seems to me that you should at least tell your parents the extent of your atheism, and let them know that you do not want to do…"

"I too have been to church a few times since I stopped being a theist merely for my moms sake. It didn't kill me. I tried hard to find things of value in what was said during the services. Mostly this was a waste of time. On the other hand my…"

"It all depends on what is expected from you. If they just expect you to be there and not necessarily participate in overly religious symbolism or whatever then what's the big deal?
They want to have the celebration in church and they want you…"

Any advice on how to handle my parents 50th wedding anniversary?
I was raised a Catholic, but have been an atheist for over 10 years. I've told my parents I am a "non-believer" and a "freethinker". They are aware I haven't gone to church in a long while, but we have never had an in depth discussion about my atheism - it would certainly sadden them. My parents' 50th wedding anniversary is approaching. My parents informed me they don't want a big party or gifts, but they want the family (my brothers, sisters and a few other close relatives) to attend Mass…See More

The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
Natalie A Sera commented on Dallas the Phallus's group LINGUAPHILES & SESQUIPEDALIANS"And then, just to confuse things, there's polymath, which is from the Greek poly = much and manthanein = to learn. So, someone who knows a lot. Or at least enough to know that you can get a second crop from that field! Sorry, couldn't…"
