I know :)

hello

I certainly will. Yeah, you'd think in a big city like Philly there'd be more open atheists. But Philly has a very "provincial" feel for a big city. Some very old-world attitudes still floating around here.

Hi Carolyn.  Yup, Philly native through and through (fortunately though, I don't have the native Philly accent). I'm very glad I found this place.

Say, what's a dish like you doing in a computer generated gin joint like this?

;)

A belated welcome aboard! =)  Hope you're doing well today...

Welcome, Carolyn.  I understand your desperation to find conversation and interaction with like minded people.  If you are surrounded by pious theists as I am, I can definitely understand.

Greetings! Welcome to the site!

Welcome, Carolyn! Glad you could join us. :D We have intelligent conversation in many groups, also some just for fun such for cat lovers.

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.

After you've searched for topics of interest (for intelligent conversation) 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.
