I have been an Atheist for over 20 years. I believe religion was created by humans, plain and simple. I believe, when I die, I will cease to exist except in the memory of friends and family. I believe religion is evil, but I know that some people have a need, like any other need, to believe in some higher being. I just wish they would not try and push those needs on others. I don't have the need to have life or the universe explained to me by some higher being. I believe in science and rational thought. For being an athiest, I have been told I was going to hell, I was told that I could not possibly be happy, that I am anarchist, that it was sad that I did not have god in my heart. Well, I just laugh at them all. I have the freedom to make my own choices to do anything in the universe that I so choose. I don't need a higher being to tell me to be good, to love one another. I do all those things and more, because it feels good and because I want to. Plain and simple. Be human, don't be a puppet.

Greetings, Dianne! 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.
Hi, Dianne. I really like your "About Me" statement. I've had exactly the same reaction most of my life from religionists. They just don't understand how I can be happy and not believe in a sky-daddy. Joke's on them, huh? ;-)
Happy Birthday ! did you know your birth day is the first day of spring and the begging of new year in Perisan calendar .. I have written about it in my last blog post.
