The reason I’ve joined this site is to try to make some new friends and try to talk to people although I’m real socially awkward, but regardless of that I’ve might as well give this a shot to see where it will take me. If your goal is to bring me down, then I don’t want anything to do with you.
I've never joined a group online, and its usually been my policy not to talk to people I haven't met, but I find this stress relieving- like a purge. Lots of cool and funny people who I can learn from, and hopefully will learn from me too. Not easy to meet people who are open about atheism.
I choose the fist option because that is what I enjoy but, there is this damn level thing that is almost addictive.
Enlightenment, to explore what other non-religious people think, to get a handle on the numbers of us in society and where it is all going.
right on, dude!
I do enjoy communicating with like-minded people because in my community there aren't many people who think as I do. I feel very alienated at times, and I seldom talk about my beliefs because people would brand me as some sort of monster with three heads if I did.... My friends are mostly christian, and when the subject of religion comes up, I try to change the subject or just pretend to be interested in something else.
Facebook, just got too depressing with all the news stories about what Trump is doing and knowing how it will negatively effect the country, and then there are those 30% who still support him. This site is a nice break from all that.
Good point. Though I definitely like all of the atheist memes and surprise atheist groups you find on FB.
My primary reason is to find a relationship, but I enjoy sharing ideas and information with each other.
I hope you don't leave us when you find someone, I really enjoy reading your comments, you possess an amazing insight into so, many topics.
I have found chatting with like minded people a real gift. I must say that this site has filled a need for me.
