Welcome, Sonja! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.

You might also like Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists. As someone suffering from the heat wave and drought in Texas, you might also want to consider Eco-Logical.

Greetings fellow Texan! Welcome to the site!
We have a Texas Heathens Group you might like to join.

Welcome, Sonja.  Your comment is my sentiment exactly.  Some theists seem to think they can mistreat others, be forgiven and then pass on to their reward in an afterlife.

My pleasure! =)  It IS nice to be among supportive people here! Hope to chat with you soon.
