Introduction

Hi! Looking forward to meeting everyone. I'm originally from Ohio but have lived in SoFla since 99.

When did you realize you were atheist?

I'm more agnosticy...I dunno...but I'm VERY frightened by the pernicious influence of religion in our country and ESPECIALLY terrified by these presidential candidates! I'm stockpiling pills! ;-)

Are you open with you atheism and how did your family and friends respond when you told them?

No friggin' way! My mom already gives me Jesus books...oy...I will bring them to the meeting- they are quite hilarious ESPECIALLY the one about how to know what God wants you to do....it is the most ludicrous bit of circular logic ever printed.

What do you hope to find in a group of freethinkers?

Brains! Science! Critical thinking skills!

Do you think atheists groups can alter public opinions of non-theism?

No! I think this country is going backwards. I think pretty soon we will have to meet in secret so as not to be burned at the stake!

  • Hi, Pam.. I think you should keep your awesome job and stay in the 'Sunshine State'. :) Austin is a cool town..But, it does have some bad points...Maybe we can chat about it at a meetup outing. :) So far, I am much happier with my surroundings, here. I have wanted to be here, for years. :):)
