You have every reason to be excited.  I've seen their talks from the "Unholy Trinity Tour" on YouTube and they are excellent, without exception.  Wish they'd come up to Cleveland!

EEEEK!, you guessed; my secret's out! HAAAAAAALP!  [chuckle] Thanks, Carolyn ... and while I think about it, your dog is a CLASSIC!

Thanks.  Got laid off myself, so I'm not on the computer 9-5 anymore.  My old side job wanted me back and kicked it up a notch, but my schedule's odd and busy is *actually* busy, lol.  Fortunately, the financial returns of the amped up old side job seems to be lucrative.  :) 

Hey, thanks for remembering me.........:-)

Hi Calypso! thanks for your nice welcome to the site. I'm sure I'm gonna love it here! Ken

Thank you. I have been one for decades, but didn't embrace it, (more like didn't face it) until recently.

I know :)

hello

I certainly will. Yeah, you'd think in a big city like Philly there'd be more open atheists. But Philly has a very "provincial" feel for a big city. Some very old-world attitudes still floating around here.

Hi Carolyn.  Yup, Philly native through and through (fortunately though, I don't have the native Philly accent). I'm very glad I found this place.

A belated welcome aboard! =)  Hope you're doing well today...

Welcome, Carolyn.  I understand your desperation to find conversation and interaction with like minded people.  If you are surrounded by pious theists as I am, I can definitely understand.

Greetings! Welcome to the site!

Welcome, Carolyn! Glad you could join us. :D We have intelligent conversation in many groups, also some just for fun such for cat lovers.

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Women Atheists, Female Atheists, and possibly Feminist Atheists.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically.

After you've searched for topics of interest (for intelligent conversation) in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
