Greetings, DeafAtheist! I'd like to invite you to a group where we talk about anything on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D

Thanks for the add!

Thanks DeafAtheist, it's nice to meet you too! :-) Yes, it's true, I don't meet too many deaf atheists. I did meet at least one other deaf atheist, and I heard about a second deaf atheist, so I did know prior to finding your group on Atheist Nexus that I wasn't the only one out there.

Godless Gamers group?? I am so there! And thank you for the welcome

I bet you'd like "Blasphemy," the movie. I posted it to Youtube a while back, with subtitles. It's hilarious! :o)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday A|N neighbour! A birthday during the Perseids - that's awesome! You don't get a better annual natural light show than that!

DeatAtheist, please consider joining my new group HERCULANEUM: A PLACE FOR MEN. Herculaneum is a group where men can discuss and explore the ideas, goals, demands, ethics, sexuality, and nature of manhood and masculinity. It is a place where we are free to be ourselves, and discuss the issues most important to our identities as men.

I have already started two discussions to get us going: How do we define manhood in the 21st century? and Rites of Passage: A Lost Ritual?.

This is a private group, and discussions can be viewed by members only. Membership is open to men only.

Well, thanks for starting your group! It's great to find a Deaf community online! :)

How true! Maybe they're gonna have to bring back witches.

Well, you hit the nail on the head. They DON'T make any sense! They are alwasys telling us gay ppl that we choose to be gay, rather than accept that we have not choice in it. If their god made us that way, then they would have no reason to feel superior to us.

Oh, I see. Well I guess that is a real advantage that you can speak "normally". I read Deaf Like Me a long time ago, but I can still remember some of the anecdotes about her issues growing up.

I can totally dig that about not wanting to change it, though. It's not quite the same thing, but I feel that way about my gayness. I've known gays who felt so guilty about it (b/c of religion, of course), that they would change it if they could. My attitude is, F-that! I don't need to apologize to anyone for how I was born.

So true. Tell me, where you born deaf or did it occur later on? I am loosing the hearing in my right ear, and I have had surgery on it three times, but to no avail. It is kind of a pain!

Welcome to Atheist Nexus. I took some sign language in college, but all I remember is how to fingerspell.

Glad to meet you here.
Welcome to Atheist Nexus----the world of reasoning, rational sense, and good friends. Join groups and enjoy.

We seek to understand the mysteries of the universe and astronomy, and how life and humans and religion and everything began. Be my friend.

You should give up your atheism and love Me instead.
