The World's Largest Coalition of Nontheists and Nontheist Communities!

Let's try this Blog Thing..

So.. Usually my outlet is my Youtube page (Jeanstake).. But lately it has just not been doing the job for me... I really just wanna meet someone like me.. I love my friends dearly, I really do.. But there's like this big barrier it seems.. I feel like I'm discriminating against people who believe but the fact is I'm so sick of these beliefs that I don't care about being called discriminatory anymore! Is it wrong for me to want a friend?? I don't think so. So um yeah. Maybe I'll try this again later...

Comment by Alex Tyler on September 28, 2009 at 3:35pm: I understand how you feel but, this site is all Non-Theists so no one has any Religion. I have religious friends too but, I find the type that are not Extremists. A lrage group or most are Religious but don't damn me or think I'm evil.
Christian, Jewish, Hindu, ect are NOT the same as Extremists. I group people like *these are Youtube Usernames BTW* Geerup, Jezuzfreek777 and VenomFangX into a totally different category I call "Religiously-Nationalist" because they seem like they've been taught by Adolf Hitler or something.
I have a YouTube channel too. MusicMyLife2112 here for Atheism, the way Norway has a great economy and hasn't been to war in ages. :)

Comment by Little Name Atheist on September 27, 2009 at 3:14pm: You're not asking too much at all, and you are definitely not wrong!

One of the reasons I came to A|N was to find people who wouldn't constantly be interjecting their beliefs in various invisible friends into the conversation. While I don't mind interacting with believers, and have many who are family, friends, and acquaintances, I'd like to be able to talk about all topics important to me. I suspect you might be here for similar reasons.

For "quality time", we have every right to pick and choose who we want as friends. I look at it as charging emotional batteries. Having to compartmentalize and avoid certain topics all the time can be draining. This is why I try to be very specific about who I let into my inner circle.

My experience with social networking sites is that it takes time to meet real friends. I have one atheist friend I met via the now defunct Secularity.com who lives about 1.5 hours away. The other is my cohabi-tater, who I met via an email list. I suggest joining or creating Atheist Nexus groups for people in your area.

Comment by Jean on September 27, 2009 at 11:56am: Well yeah, but the thing is... I have all kinds of great internet friends, but there comes a time when I seek a "real" friend.. someone I can invite over, go out to lunch with, etc... Or maybe that's asking too much...

Comment by Aaron S. (USA) on September 27, 2009 at 11:53am: Well, understand that nearly everybody here is here for the same reason :P So I don't think you'll find anyone here that would take offense at your wanting non-religious friends. Some atheists are able to do it well, but for a lot of us, we just get tired of all the bullcrap :P
