Cheryl replied to John Loq's discussion Antitheist.
"I am actually antitheist, but I'm kind of embarassed about it. I shouldn't be against everybody, but I am. I think it's because so many of them are against me, they're anti-atheist."

Jim DePaulo said… Hi Cheryl,
I guess "Old Smiley" is better than "old grumpy bastard".
There are, I agree, some interesting (and very intelligent) people on this site; some of the discussions become very long and detailed on a wide variety of subjects - it is an enjoyable web site.

alexa penzner said… cheryl - i don't know why i thought you lived in texas - i'd much rather visit oregon. don't tell anyone, but i do go to a pagan group for seasonal celebrations. it makes me feel so much a part of the earth instead of so separated like i am in the city. (new york)

- I went to school at CU as well as CSU. I love Boulder, my wife and I tried to buy a house there but the housing prices were/are outrageous. I currently live about 20 miles south of Boulder.

Natalie A Sera said… - I don't post a lot, but I do read! It's refreshing to meet people who have their heads in the right place, LOL!! We're having a special election here in Nevada District 2 to replace Rep. Dean Heller-R who was appointed to the Senate. The Democrat, Kate Mitchell sent out well-reasoned literature citing her political history and what she had done for Nevada as treasurer, while the Republican, Mark Amodei, sent out scare literature with old people making horrified faces saying that Kate would destroy Social Security and Medicare. Now, who do you think the stupids will vote for?????

Elveera said… Not at all and glad to :)
I'm relatively new in a new city, while old friends in the old city haven't been too thrilled with me since I "came out" on facebook [people are either truly protective of their myths or uncomfortable with someone who doesn't believe in any] - either way like-minded people to chit-chat with is why I'm here! :)
