My wife and son and I are all atheists (as are our daughter and other son, but they are out of state). It is easy to feel along when society sends such strong signals that our way of life is not to be tolerated...gives me a lot more sympathy for other out-groups such as gays. My nephew is gay, finally openly - he lives in PA (much of which is way more conservative than NH) and lost some family relationships and friendships, though he gained so much more. And that's how I feel about me atheism except that, as have several other commenters, I haven't fully discusse this with my parents as they are not so far from death that they will change, and I don't want their last years spent worrying about my eternal damnation. Anyway, I think NH has a good many atheists or near atheists. Take care, Greg
Atheist Andrea, love your photos. Your children, with beautiful blue eyes next to your brown ones look so happy and healthy. I suspect the handsome man completes the family album. Thank you for your kind words. We shall have a great time discovering living.
Oh hey! Long time no hear from! So glad to hear from you!
Thanks for the lovely comment on my page here.
So wonderful to hear from you!
Have a Happy New Year!
i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day. however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more. in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…
I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…
This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
