Need help again
You've had some really great advice for me in the past, so I didn't know where to turn with this. As you may recall, I was indoctrinated with beliefs in spirits, ghosts, demons, and all kinds of life-after-death. I've been working with my psychologist on trying to unlearn all this.

The occult has scared the crap out of me since I was a child and my family would play the ouija board, tell me there were poltergeists in the house and think they saw ghosts.

Signing Atheists
I was going to set up a group for Deaf Atheists, but figured I'd probably be alone in here if I did that so I figured I'd open it to anyone who knows sign language or even interested in learning it.
