Profile Information
- About Me
- I'm a high school teacher in small-town NZ who has recently come to nontheism. It's a lonely place to be a nontheist here. I love music and comedy and learning, and combinations of all three, as well as reading and mucking about online. I love to travel and I'd love to do more.

hi, I am a teacher too.
Greetings, Deanna! I notice you haven't been 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.
Cheers,
Liz
Yes, I saw a clip of Jaime Kilstein stand up posted on Atheist Media Blog earlier this week. Good Stuff!
"That Mitchell and Webb Look" has some of the funniest godless skits I've ever seen. Another new favorite of mine is Dara O'Briain.

There's an "Atheist Humor" group that has some pretty funny posts.

Are you familiar with some of the Nontheist comedians? Tim Minchin is a favorite of mine. There are many others.
