I couldn't even say I'm intelligent and don't really consider myself that smart. Though when it comes to brilliance I can be on the top of my game and I also really love being around smarter people because over time I've learned how to shut up and listen and believe that if I'm the smartest person in the room it's time to leave and find a better room.
Though with the majority of society currently denying reality and it's seemingly beyond their grasp and after coming out as an Atheist has actually made it even more difficult for me to get along with most of "them" especially since a great deal of them reality isn't even a concept considering that a large percentage of them still live in fear of what a ghost might think.
Then there are those like me whom are very in touch with reality and most always realistic but we seem rare in numbers because it was Unreal and depressing how many friends I lost when coming out about my ultimate non belief 5 years ago which actually didn't surprise me much because it really is the Christian thing to do but when it comes to the overall Good Without God community no matter which Branch whether it be agnostic, skeptic to freethinker or a 7 like me are all very accepting and sometimes it's just nice to feel accepted.
I will continue to extend this when I have more time but I am glad that the more realistic and free thinking Society have begun to speak up not only more for themselves but also for others.. Looking forward to this group and it's also the first one I've ever joined one but I'm tired of being alone with my thoughts because we are a great minority and seemingly impossible to find others like myself.. I'm also really shy so I probably won't post very much and will try to comment when I feel brave enough to think I'm smart...
