Texan and Atheist
October 5, 2010 at 1:59 pm
I've never been good at introducing myself, so I'll keep it short and basic. If you want to know more than I post here, just ask me.
I'm 22 (for a couple of months anyway), I have been an Atheist for the majority of my life (didn't give a rat's ass for the rest of it), and I live in Texas.
It's nice to have found this place, I hope I will be of some use.  Whether I am or not, I've enjoyed the threads I've read so far and look forward to jumping in when I can. So, howdy from Tejas, I look forward to getting to know everyone.

You mean you're an atheist AND you live in Texas? And you haven't been stoned by the Texas government or mob yet?
Hmm... well... welcome to the home of Blasphemy and Sin.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

My father (some form of eastern european protestant) and my Jewish mother had no idea what Ohio was either (maybe that's why she moved to California in the first place)... does the rest of Ohio even know?

Welcome! An atheist Texan? A glimmer of hope or the last spark of sanity?
