kind of isolated

[k2490]

not to sound like in depth profile but I'm an African American woman and growing up in the black Baptist church things were just...I'm not really sure how to describe it. A lot of my family members don't even know my position on god. hence,the feeling of isolation.

I'm also apart of the LGBT community and the churches views on gays----well there's no need to elaborate...also isolating.

lastly I have few non-theist friends. I don't mind it much,I'm a very open minded and don't have some sort of faith(or lack there of) requirement----it's just nice to have some friends with a similar view point on god.

so basically anyone got any support to give?
hope's this makes sense

It appears that you have come to the right place young padawan.

The only unforgivable sin here is bad grammar.

All the rest is cool.

[KichigaiNeko]

No seriously. Your only crime here is a lack of understanding grammar and the use of spell check.

You must look very beautiful due to your genetics

Welcome and don't feel isolated anymore.

You'll notice we have all sorts of people here. You're not out of place on these forums.

Ya'll don't pick on her grammar. Some of us have problems with that.
You will fit in here K2490. It is a diverse bunch.

Especially if health abnormalities like dyslexia are the case. Completely understandable.

Welcome. I hope you like it here. If you're not uncomfortable being surrounded by white people, you might want to check Meetup.com. Just enter 'atheist' and how far you're willing to drive and you can see if there is a group having meetings where you can meet some more fellow non-theists.

Most Unitarian congregations don't require belief in God and are LGBT welcoming. And I hear about half of LGBTs are 'nones', so getting more involved in that community could be helpful.

I know you're in an isolating situation, but there are ways you can reach out. Maybe you can start a group for African American LGBT nontheists.

Just relax, dear. You're among friends.


(Well, except for the handful of nutty theists but no one pays much attention to them.)

[JesusHChrist]

Welcome! and blame all speling with grammer errors on ur smart phone.

That's what I do.

A lot of god-hating, baby eating sinners around these parts.

Burp.....
