"Genetic engineering sounds wonderful to me. I don't think it will be long before we will re-create crops, livestock, and ourselves into much better organisms than evolution has done. That is, unless religious nutters are able to get…"

CSM atheists?
So, I am a student at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, and I am somewhat dismayed to find that there isn't an atheist or skeptic group on campus! I am thinking about finding out what it would take to start one... nd wondering if there is anyone on here who is a fellow student, and whether you think there would be any interest here, or would like to help.
Dylan Michael McFarland commented on Diana Bett's blog post ... And I'm back!
"Hi Diana,
I've also wondered why, especially a college of all places, would religiosity be so abundant? It's probably not because of the student body, but instead because of a tradition of trying to convert people; these religious…"

... And I'm back!
Been away for a while-- life got complicated, and I just got out of the habit of checking here. The constant emails from group discussions kept this place in my thoughts, however, and now that I've got some things stabilized in my life I think I will be active here again.I have found recently that one of my biggest sources of support, a group of online friends I am very close to, is not the best environment for discussing the things this site was made for. There are a couple of members there…See More
Tony Carroll replied to Diana Bett's discussion What's your favorite? in the group Atheist Sci-Fi fans
"Favorites? Depends. I can go all the way back to Doc Smith in the 20's and 30's, Asimov, Heinlein, Lester del Rey, thru fantasy with Norton,Tolkien, to Ellison,Orson Card, and the list goes on. As far as movies/tv, most of them, not only…"
Dee Neely replied to Diana Bett's discussion What's your favorite? in the group Atheist Sci-Fi fans
"I like my sci-fi hard so I tend to like authors who keep close to the science. I would have a hard time picking a favorite author, but Syne Mitchell is definitely on the top of the list. I like Stephen Baxter and Kim Stanley Robinson.
Of course, my…"

"Nice collection of books!
I don't have a favorite author either. Too many good ones!"
Scott A. Hunt replied to Diana Bett's discussion What's your favorite? in the group Atheist Sci-Fi fans
"I don't have a fav author but these are my top books. As for Heinlein, I've read "Stranger in a Strange Land" and it was ok. I've meant to check out some other but haven't got around to it. I'm…"

Diana Bett replied to Diana Bett's discussion National Coming Out Day in the group Hang With Friends
"I find it really interesting-- a friend of mine decided the other day to hold up a sign saying "I AM AN ATHEIST, ASK ME QUESTIONS" across the courtyard from a group of evangelizing Christians. He got a lot of people high fiving him and…"

"Ditto. When xians proselytize me politely I tell them "If I hadn't spent 12 years in Catholic schools I might still believe in a god."

So, I'm very strange; when I have something I need to think about, I process my thoughts by writing about them. Rather than writing a whole new post here, I'm just going to post the essay that came out of my trying to decide to openly call myself an atheist. This was not written for any particular audience, and I haven't edited it, but I think I'll just post it as-is:
