booklover commented on Jessica's blog post But God put these people in my life for a reason

"If people believe everything is preordained, why not just sit there and wait for life to happen to you. The life that 'god' has prepared for you. I had a friend who had a son who was born with the front-lobes of his brain not…"

Jessica replied to John Jubinsky's discussion Study Says that Older People are More Likely to Believe in God in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN

"hmm...this study doesn't say much for me. The fear of death and realizing that I am not getting younger I am sure I can get but at the same time I don't feel it could be used as anything other than just a study. I am sure there will be…"

Jessica replied to Jennifer's discussion Demoralizing Bible Quotes that Most Christians are Surprised to Hear About

Jessica replied to CD Free's discussion Walking Away

"Raised in a family who was strict Roman Catholic. I had no idea what they were talking about half the time and as I got older I studied other religions but just for information. That is when I became atheist."

Loren Miller commented on Jessica's blog post But God put these people in my life for a reason

"Saying god wants this or god did that is a mechanism for deferring responsibility or a need to understand for oneself the dynamics that are going on in one's life. A favorite phrase of one of the best men I ever knew was: "The…"

Oh how I used to buy in to that! I surely did. That is how I was raised. My mother drilled it in my head.

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Atheist Writers, Parenting Little Heathens, Atheist Photography Club, Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since Virginia's climate is changing so drastically.
