I just chose it when creating my thread! I thought it alluded to my own quest for my pot of gold! Be it for love, happiness or the thought of regular sex! Hah!
And Brian37, I have, over the years, and through association developed a penchant for the Flyers!
Thank you everyone for your replies, I am quite aware of how the South can seem like another world! Many of my relatives are from Texas and Alabama and I love them, but have found disagreement when my Uncle Ken - a US Marine Vet - Thanks god and not his kevlar vest. It is these small differences that I find somewhat alien. The fact that being a non-believer can at times be a minority, let alone a threat is something I must not accept, but realise. Not to say I am ever going to soften my views on the non-god - quite the opposite - but I am aware of the differences between the UK and the USA, and at the end of the day I would like to be a grateful citizen, yet continue to be a strong atheist.
Thank you
You are a better man than me then. If it were not for the cost of living and immigrating out of this backsliding backwater nutbuggery country bent on slave wages(the main reason) I'd leave toot sweet.
But even with that mere feeling, I do love this country in lots of other ways which makes me want to stay and fight (verbally).
Just knowing atheists live here and atheists outside this country do get it is a huge comfort. So welcome to our nut farm.
