Dana's Friends

Dana's Groups

About Me: I'm a young atheist passionate about reading, writing, and learning new things. I like music and play piano. Sometimes I write fiction. I'm a feminist and love discussions about politics and the news. Also, I'm looking for other atheists to chat with!

I notice you haven't been very active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

The tower (religion) might be able to stand when a few unimportant pieces (premises on which we base belief) are removed because we are able to throw the weight onto another piece. But eventually, as with religion, only a few pieces can be removed before the entire thing topples over. But with science, if one theory is seemingly incorrect due to contrary evidence, then we are not left with a toppling stack, but another strong basis of evidence of which we can further work off.

This is why I love sites like this and a community of people like you; they allow me to think about things I would never have thought about before. I hope you don't mind if I steal your analysis and analogy for my website- I promise to accredit it to your name.

At 8:15am on July 27, 2008, Fabio said…: Greetings from a fellow atheist and passionate writer, when inspiration allows that ^^ what kind of fiction do you write, when you do?

At 8:45am on July 26, 2008, Dane said…: Hi there Dana, just wanted to say hi and maybe start a little chat.

At 8:01pm on July 20, 2008, Alex B said…: I am familiar with it, but haven't read it. I guess it will have to be another book to add my ever growing pile of future-reads. I love the way you described your experience as you turning on a light. For me, it was my interest in science in high school that made me question the existence of anything supernatural. I then began reading as much as I could on science and where it confronts religion. So what kind of fiction do you write? It's always been one of my dreams to one day write a book.
