Pepperdine, eh? Any chance you're still in the area? tough to find like-minded folks.

Profile Information
- About Me
- I'm black, professional and atheist. I was raised in a Christian family and went to church nearly every Sunday. I began to question at an early age, and in an effort to beat back my own doubt, I began to proselytize. It was not uncommon for me to take a bible to school or to try to convert other kids. It was ridiculous- and only forestalled the inevitable.
By the time I left for college I was fairly agnostic and didn't go to church for the better part of four years. I went even less during law school. Finally, in my late twenties, I accepted that I did not believe in a personal God. My doubt has often led to intense conflict with family members- even very close family members at that. It would be nice to make a few atheist friends, because, as you can imagine, being both black and atheist can be a challenging experience. But, I never let that bother me for long.
I love travel, reading, writing, sports and to have a good time wherever I can. I'm laid back, love to laugh and welcome new experiences. Don't hesitate to say hello.

Kelly M said… - Just read the Love blog...you know, there are lots of things one can tie to humanity through love...that is a very deep and interesting piece! Maybe you should start a thread to get different opinions about where love "is" in the mind of an atheist?? I would dig around my brain and try to come up with something for sure!
