Hello all! As I'm sure you've guessed by now, I'm new here. I stumbled across this place a few days ago and just felt like I had to join. Most everyone I know (with the exception of my husband) is…Continue

Glen Rosenberg commented on Tracie Scheiding's blog post Alone
"Alone, surrounded by people, hoping for a chance to break. . .
I am 87% certain IT is incomprehensible, reality is a misleading human notion . . .
Best advice, when not overcome by the moment, be thankful you flitted into existence

"Im in Virginia. You being an out of the closet woman atheist makes you very rare. To the best of my knowledge, we are the minorities mostly because of two main reasons: 1) Money are in the pockets who support religious activities 2) Most of the…"

"The anti-slavery movement was considered a bit loony as late as 1840. History will shift gears. Unfortunately, it never learned how to use a clutch."

Sometimes, a lot of times, I feel quite alone here.Aside from my husband, I don't know any other atheists in the real world. Living here in Ohio, southern Ohio, I'm surrounded by religion and conservative mindsets... I came out recently as atheist to friends and lost several. They were too close-minded to accept me for what I am. These are people I've known for almost 20 years! It's sad and it's disturbing.I am 99.99999% certain there is no God. Why are so many others so unwilling to see what I…See More

Parenting Little Heathens
Atheists don't have a lot of parenting resources that speak directly to them. Come chat about all things parenting here.
Tracie Scheiding commented on Ashley Paramore's group Ohio Atheists
"Anyone here in Dayton? I would give just about anything to have a female atheist friend to hang out with. Now that I've 'come out', I've lost friends. Sad, but true."

Atheist Humor
This is the place to post that hilarious irreligious YouTube video, an irreverent, anti-religious cartoon, or other humorous bit of media. Posts that do not reflect an atheist/irreligious theme will be deleted. (Don't make me go Old Testament.)See More
Tracie Scheiding replied to Mark's discussion Prayer
"I agree completely. Prayer is the best way to feel like you're making a difference without lifting a finger. It's completely useless."
Tracie Scheiding replied to Lisa's discussion I'm lately extremely annoyed by believers
"This makes me think of one of my favorite mantras.
"Saying that you've put things in God's hands is a socially acceptable way of saying that you've given up".
I think out of everything believers do, it's that alone…"
Tracie Scheiding replied to Joe Fausnight's discussion Is anyone working on anything? in the group Atheist Writers
"Hello! I'm new around here. Joined the group to meet others who love writing and who also happen to be godless heathens, as well. ;)
I'm currently working on a science-fiction trilogy entitled "Glitch". It's a rather long…"
Tracie Scheiding replied to Leslee Love's discussion Which has been your fave episode of the new series thus far? in the group TARDIS
"It's a really, really tough choice, but I think I have to go with "Vincent and the Doctor".
I was a huge fan of David Tennant as the Doctor, but I have to say that Matt Smith is really growing on me. I think he's doing a great…"
I'm sort of a hippie. I'm definitely a liberal.

I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since Nov 2010. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds,Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hello to writer Tracie Scheiding, and welcome to this friendly meeting place where freethinking non-theists recognise that religion is largely a huge deception aimed at controlling vulnerable superstitious people, including defenceless children; and
how tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and even longer.

Ian Mason commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"The medical profession seems to have improved in some areas at least.
