Michelle replied to Adrian's discussion After years of soul searching

That was a beautiful introduction, and I too am curious, like Amber Kost, if you are actually English or American? I look forward to your contributions, especially from a Swiss perspective. I'm curious about how atheists are getting…"

Michelle replied to c's discussion What do you say?
"That's the best. What are they going to say? That it is reliable?
Oh, right. They'll probably come back with such nonsense that, "it's God's will". LMAO"
Michelle replied to c's discussion What do you say?
"If they are praying for me because of an illness or an unfortunate event, I say "thank you".

Michelle replied to EccentricSM's discussion Has anyone else been an atheist as long as they remember?
"I cannot ever remember having faith. I think that when I was very young, before I was teenager, I may have thought that God was all that was good in the world. Whatever that means. Like I said, I was very young. LOL By the time I was in my…"
William Hutton replied to Michelle's discussion Frustrated With Explaining Myself to the Delusional: "Praying for You".

sk8eycat commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Tony, I love that clip! "Wolf Gets Blitzed"...tee-hee.
Did anyone read the comments below the You Tube version? they were almost all like, "Yeah, thank the lard for sending a ghastly tornado to kill more than 50…"
The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
