Dear friend. I am pulling my hair out here in this buckle of the bible belt entirely alone among religious fanatics. Even my wife goes to church, listens to religious music, and hangs on to her religion for dear life. She doesn't preach, so that's ok, but she and her family, and mine, are all Jesus people and I am always a dark cloud over their horrible conversations. Arg.
Total escape is possible, possibly, but a temporary interlude with people who have brains would be grand. Somewhere in East Texas would be good. A grown woman who needs some company would be more good. (better to northerners)
I have been an atheist for more than a decade and in all that time only met a couple of atheists in this neck of the woods and they were keeping their mouth shut to save their jobs and family. Sad but true.
I am outspoken and tell anyone and everyone freely that I am atheist. I have a website to promote my books (not related to atheism) and on it I make it clear that I am atheist. I just wrote a blog about my experience: [authortedgresham.com]
Somebody please rescue me! Please pretty please?
More about me... I'm 64, married (to a religious person), kids grown and gone. Daughter married and living with her hubby, son is in the Marines, four years now. OOOoooorahhh! I am retired, medically, due to a horrible time a couple years ago (story on my website) but now I'm fit as a fiddle, pretty much anyway. I drove for Uber, drove trucks, raised kids, did casework, managed restaurants, Worked on air conditioners and um... a few more things. Those were jobs. I am a writer. I need a muse.
I don't need a house full of people, just that one who has a sense of adventure, good sense of humor, loves to travel, and is looking for a funny and romantic guy to make her life better but otherwise not necessarily change her life.
