Hey! I saw your thread! I'm super-shy here too, since I've never been in such a strong community of atheists before, and it's good to know someone shares similar worries! :D
The.......... gentleman.............in question is Felch Grogan. He frequently replies to posts, posts discussions, and has a group called "The Cynics".One cannot deny he has an awesome intellect, but he is consistantly sarcastic, condescending and patrorising. In my more grouchy moments....he's an asshole. Again, these are just my opinions. Please look felch up and make up your own mind. Again, welcome...and enjoy the site.
Chanda, I apologise for the pissing match PigDiesel tried to start with me on you post. I have no idea what his damage is, but he should have replied to me on my on page and I should have done the same. There are some people on here who, in my humble and subjective opinion and evil-tempered, small minded, hateful people. NO ONE ever has to agree with me. After all of that....I'm sorry if I confirmed your fears. That was not my intent. Most of us here are good people and enjoy the contact with others of like mind. I sincerely hope you will continue to participate.
Hi. Welcome to Atheist Nexus from one ardent atheist to another (check My Profile and you will see).
I have been running a busy discussion group here since mid-September 2008. It is called "Origins: Universe, Life, Earth, religion....etc".
Try visiting and joining in. You can make helpful friends in groups like this if you want to. Terry (Oxford)
Honestly, I thought you were attractive (and single). No matter. By the way, 13 years at 28-29 is quite impressive!
We actually have a lot in common, heh. I'm 26, an accountant, just bought a house, and, among other things, I like to read and play video games. And sometimes a mixture of both; you guys should check out the Halo novels. Especially The Fall of Reach. Great books. Anyway, ciao.
Yeah, definitely lonely in the atheism department. Luckily, religion almost never comes up with my friends (who all, I believe, belong to one religion or another).
Hey Chanda
How did you end up in O'fallon? It looks like St. Louis has a pretty consistent atheist meetup group. Have you considered going to one of their meet-ups?
We've got a small one going here in Cape again, but it's through this website. We're called "heartland atheists". Some cat named Malcom who works at Hobby Lobby got it going. We've got some local attorney wanting to come to our next get-together. I'm looking forward to meeting him.

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film. The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons. He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.
There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…
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…
