I found myself WAY too conservative for Oregon. I was registered libertarian, though I'm just a little right of that, even. That doesn't fly with liberals, though they had no problem with my disbelief. So, I'm back in the Tulsa area and hoping to live somewhere in SW Missouri. Missouri isn't too overly religious, but Tulsa is like living in a strange country. Everyone just assumes that you're a believer and that just because you have morals and values that you're one of them. I don't believe in their stuff, and to tell them that would mean that I'll be ostracized, as I was in Oregon. Seriously, everyone here asks you where you go to church within the first minute of meeting you. Then, it's oh, why not...ad infinitum. You all know how that works. Anyone else feel like they never fit in no matter where they live?
I am a Libertarian by way of Classical Liberalism. Libertarians could care less about my Atheism, but many Atheists are apoplectic about my Libertarian bent, which is kind of dumb because on an awful lot of issues Libertarians have led the way in working for equality, justice, and peace.
stand your ground is my only advice. try not to judge the ones that judge you. were i am at in life right now anyways. yes, i feel like that all the time!
I'm an Agnostic Libertarian Socialist. Explaining what this means makes people's heads explode because it doesn't mean what they think it does most of the time. Plainly put, I ascribe to the leanings of Noam Chomsky. When people ask, I usually just say Liberal, and that opens up even more misconceptions lol
