Greetings! I am new to associating with people of like minds on the topics of agnosticism and atheism, so if I ask a question or make a statement it’s to see from various perspectives. I’m here also to learn and become inspired! Where I am, one damn near gets persecuted and hung on the stake for not believing in “some” type of god... so this is a nice app for me. Thanks!
Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.
I live in a similar area of the country.
I don't hide it. I am defiant and pretty much DARE them to come after me.
They behave the way they do because no one stands up to them.
I won't allow that.
Ever notice that "they" have a movement of actions: angry; then devious; then pitiful?
@Beowulfsfriend Yes. Right up until you get right in their faces and call them on their bullshit.
Then they sputter and stammer and don't know how to act.
Welcome. Are you coming out of religion of just reaching out to like minds for the first time?
I’m coming out of Buddhism... I have tried MANY, now I want NONE! Lol
@Donne As I remember Buddhism, allows evolution? I guess I just took what I needed there and moved on, like I did in so many places of thought!

Re: being asked about your religious beliefs: Tell people you belong to the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (Wearing a colander on your head as religious headgear makes your claim seem more valid. But colanders are hard to fit and the style often doesn't mesh with one's own personal style.) The church of the FSM really does exist, mostly online, and was created by a guy somewhere in the midwest as a response to a local school board's decision to teach "intelligent design" (i.e. creationism) in the local schools. He created the FSM organization so he could say, 'If you are going to teach about YOUR god, then you need to also teach about MY god."
I just joined, anyone wants to get married?
Welcome living in the uki don't that kind of reaction in general although someone walked out of the pub when i was explaining something once
Welcome! It is SO nice to discuss or comment on a variety of topics here, without being assaulted with religious rhetoric. I am more grateful than ever for living in a more open-minded social environment!
Welcome to the site...I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
It is good to learn, do some research yourself, read different sources and get more knowledge, have a stance, decide for yourself first and foremost, that way other people can't bullshit you with a "different perspective" because this site is also full of trolls.
Welcome! Are you ready to learn, grow and share?
Welcome! It’s a adventure, as you let go of the labels , even agnostic and atheist you can see some things here
Welcome! I can’t say I share your experience but I’m happy you found agnostic.com!
