Hi all!I'm Ronni and I'm an Atheistic Pagan (feel free to message me if you have questions as to how I walk that path), I am somewhat in the closet and somewhat not. I love to write and read, listen…Continue

Math for Amateurs?
Is there such a thing as an amateur mathematician? I mean I am slowly becoming infatuated with math and numbers, especially their abstract / finite juxtaposition but I'm really slow at the comprehension and a little crippled by using a calculator. But the whole reason I want to learn more math is because I like the theory, I like the higher stuff, the abstract fuzzy stuff that you can use for metaphors in a story. (I'm a writer) so I want to devote a larger chunk of my life toward studying…See More

What does it mean to be an Atheist Pagan?
Hey all!It's been a battle, having this as an identity. People think its a contradiction of terms. Atheist and Pagan, like the two can't coincide, like they are .... mutually exclusive or something. Well, I'm here to say they are not. Cause first off, no one said that being a pagan required you be a polytheistic believer or a wiccan dual theistic believer. There is no template, there is no dogma, there is no book except what you claim as your own. For me, being a pagan is just a respect for…See More

Greetings fellow non-theists!
First thing you gotta understand about this coming out story is that BOTH of my parents are ordained Christian ministers. Second you gotta realize that I already came out to her as a bisexual, a bit before I was ready, but at least I'm out now, even though it felt wrong, because I feel more .... homosexual than bisexual, but that's beside the point.
I am friends with my mom on facebook, since she lives in a different state. And we…
