I'm Elodie.

I've struggled with hate this week far more than most other points in my life, which led me to find a forum where I could hang with people like me.

I don't believe there is a god. I believe that if one did exist, s/he would not be so cruel. (And boy-oh-boy is there more to that opinion!).

I just want some online friends who aren't judgy. I think I can find that, here.

(Still looking for where to set my siggy.)

Hello Elodie, welcome to the forums! Sorry to hear that you got so much hate!

Welcome aboard. Remember there is no god so hating him is pretty pointless.

Now...his fucking followers OTOH...they are worth all the scorn you can muster!

Thank you. Unfortunately, this was family...and wasn't even about religion, exactly. I'm also childfree and that was the cause of the angst. Thankfully, the next-closest family member supported me 100%.

Thanks, too, for the welcome.

Welcome! As the name suggest, you'll find plenty of atheists here! Weird, right?

Hi Elodie Welcome to the forum.

Very sorry to hear about all the problems you've been having. Am I reading it right that someone is criticising you for not having children?

You'll find many lovely reasonable people here, so I hope you'll find a nice home.

Ah you live in the bible belt.

I like to think of it as Americas "stupid zone"

I hope you escape someday.

I despise people who pressure others to have children. Who the hell do they think they are? There are way too many little life leeches running around anyway.

Stand fast, Elodie. It's YOU'RE life.

And welcome to the forum!

I just saw a special on sea level rise on HBO's VICE. I told my wife "I'm glad we don't have grandchildren."

Be happy with your decision. You'd be bringing them into a world which is going into the shitter.

I'm never having children either, I decided that many years ago. There are already too many people in the world. Plus it's very likely to inherent my plethora of health problems.
