Hello-
I've been looking around for a forum to settle into- hopefully this is it. I've been off forums for several years and have missed the interactions.
About me: I'm an atheist from Texas (sigh). I live with my sweetheart (we've been engaged for 11 years) 2 dogs, and assorted birds. I'm a molecular geneticist (ABD) by training with a focus on microbial evolution, have spent years teaching Biology at the high school and university levels, and right now I'm in career limbo (although I have a job interview on Friday for a job I'd really like). Oh, and I'm female.
I was raised by atheist parents and so feel a little bewildered by the struggles so many atheists went through to get here- I just don't know what it feels like to buy a god, and anyway, I tend to feel like if it turned out that the god described by most theistic Texans actually existed, I'd join the other team.
Glad to be here.
