Hi All, good to be here.  I find I have few people to vent to about being an atheist, so thought it would be good to find a place to vent.  I find if I bring up anything quesationing religion (most often christianity) I get looked at like I'm the crazy one.  I'm not the one who believes in imaginary friends and immaculate conception.
You mean all I have to do is say "sorry God" and all is forgiven?....I\'m gonna have some fun then

Not all of Texas is bat shit insane. Austin has sane people in it moreso than the rest of the state and Huston has a lesbian mayor. Plus it gave 40% of the vote to Obama, and that trend is growing there so in less than a decade it is expected to become a swing state.

Now let me welcome you with my standard welcome.

Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission and rip the tags off your mattress. :P

Quote from: \"the_antithesis\"Faith says, "I believe this and I don\'t care what you say, I cannot possibly be wrong." Faith is an act of pride.

Quote from: \"AllPurposeAtheist\"The moral high ground was dug up and made into a walmart apparently today.

I voted for the lesbian lawyer, and yes its changing, but my work takes me into the country sometimes....wow they are nuts.  They are sitting around waiting to shoot someone

Our fundies are like the Japanese soldiers who hung on Imperial propaganda,(Fox News) and long after the war is over, being stuck in remote myth(Islands) they cant see that time has passed them by.

Howdy Jonny!  :D  Being in Texas, I am surprised your name ain't Johnny.  :)  I'm from Shreveport, in the state next door to your east.  I prefer living in Las Vegas.  Good to meet you.

Meh, I would move back to Texas, its been my favorite state next to Hawaii (which is too damn expensive). San Marcos/New Branfuels/Austin are more sane than most of the united states.

But digressing... Texas isn't all bad and welcome.

There's certainly been a metric shitload of people from Texas that are or were in the past members of this forum. You're definitely not alone, jonny. Welcome.
