Ya'all still Atheists?

[Dreamer]

So ya'all still atheists?

[AllPurposeAtheist]

No dear,  we've all converted and making fun of the non believers. 
How are you doing? How is the young Tristan doing?

[Dreamer]

Hmmm...  Shoe, is that a reference to the fact that you eat babies as part of atheist celebrations or that you sacrifice babies to your God?

[Dreamer]

I am doing great.

Sir Tristan is a thriving, happy boy--just shy of 3 feet and over 30 pounds at a year and a half old.  He is pretty athletic--good sense of balance, insanely strong when he wants to grab my glasses.  He's a funny lil man, and I find that I enjoy doing things just the two of us best of all.  Sometimes I do something with someone whose company I do love, and I enjoy myself, but I find myself thinking how it would be with just Tristan and I.  lol

How are you, APA?  When are you coming to visit, huh?  Give me notice so I can clean the house...  A good 18 years or so should do it ;)

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Well GOD dammit.. How's that purdy red headed young man?  That's all we wanna know and where are the pics?

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Really? I can come visit?  No shit?
I'll be on the next megabus if that's the case. 
I'd be tickled pink to meet the skamp.

[AllPurposeAtheist]

The little skamp is what I meant to say.  My granddaughter is full of red hair and freckles too.. Oh knock it off.  Shoe's mean, but she aain't THAT mean.  That's my job being you live so close.

[AllPurposeAtheist]

I take it back.  She's THAT mean.. lol

Boil 'em mash 'em stick 'em in a stew.


Hi dreamer! It's been a while! :)

[Solitary]

Yes! Still no evidence to the contrary.

What's a god?

[Dreamer]

You are a god. Me too. Or something like that. I have become comfortable living in the space inbetween. Just an irregular peace-loving hippie. I go to an independent church kinda like a UU Church. I don't believe in everything they do but I think they are good people who love me and my boy. And I enjoy the services-it's like an uplifting TED Talk about how to improve your life and welcome love and peace into your experience. But they also believe in spirit guides and whatnot. I've not had any experience or whatever with that and tell them so. It's an endeavor of nonjudgment and acceptance on my part-sometimes I am better at it than others.

I find I don't care to convince anyone what I believe which is a huge relief tbh. I think the compulsion stemmed from uncertainty and feelings of inadequacy. However, I still can't stand when people use their beliefs to defend their own biases. Using God or religion as a smokescreen for being hateful. I very much want to correct them. I think they are wrong. But I don't think resisting that will change them in any way-rather, being angered, frustrated, or saddened by that just will change me for the worse.

I no longer say I am an atheist*. If someone really wants me to give a name to my beliefs I go with spiritual or nondual.

[Dreamer]

Are all of those skeletons smoking? I have lots of questions!

[Dreamer]

When are you going to admit that you actually had sex with a bacchus looking real giant?

Confession: I Googled it. Lol

Maybe this will be the story I tell Tristan.

But maybe you are right. It would explain a lot of things.

hiya dreamer, good to hear you're still alive and not shackled somewhere in a church......you know how those churchers are   :)
