Hello Brian, and welcome to this wonderful world of rationality, truth and peace.
True common sense, helped by science, leads to happy freethinking wisdom as you well know.
We invite you to make good friends by joining the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Gods, Atheism, Evolution, Darwin..." with 600 discussion topics and 3200 members.
Hi Brian! I myself have not been active here, but like the idea of community. To answer your question, no kids yet. I also have started going to UU primarily for the social aspect. Anyway, welcome aboard!
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also want to look at Geek and Nerd Haven.
We have a sci-fi fantasy club and a plain old book club. There's a singles group. In terms of meeting a single in person, I'd look for a local Atheist Meetup at meetup.com.
Try this flowchart of top 100 by NPR for sci-fi/fantasy leads. It separates titles by description, so you should be able to choose some that involve emotions of interest.
Thanks Brian. Yes, we certainly are alone, ultimately. I'm not sure what you mean by getting from the homepage to the comments page in one step. Which comments page?
Hello Brian -- I missed your chat earlier and I noticed your comment on my webpage. So you want to comment on something posted on the Main page of the site? Then just click the discussion itself and the page will open to the discussion and then leave a reply to the discussion when you are at the page. Hope that makes sense. Have a nice day!

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…
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…

Hi Brian,
You should Friend me on Facebook. Will Davidson, Worcester, MA
I see we are both interested in the group Recovering From Religion. I am pretty sure I am listed in the section on Therapists.
It looks like we are both interested in creating a Humanist community. I often wonder if the demographics would support such a thing.
Wow, totally forgot I wrote that.
Gonna post it to my Facebook page. :)
