It's an interesting trend.

Though frankly I'm more concerned with the theists who do not do so.

The danger is clear and the danger is here! Don't be fooled into thinking you're safe. I know for a fact that our Uncle Sam has been compromised! Yes, not only do I seek sanctuary, but I also seek those who will assist in the deprogramming of our dearly beloved Uncle Sam! Please join me!

Oh, was that to extreme an intro? Sorry folks, what can I say just having an attention ho moment!

Actually I've been on the atheist/agnostic cusp which began when I was 10. What do you mean that intellectually challenged kids are going to hell?

I've been reviewing the board and it has given me hope as I see true evidence of something I thought was gone from America forever and ever and ever and that is open minds!

If you've stayed with me this long, thank you and I'm looking forward to some great conversations!

What can I say, I'm glad you decided to join the living. I hope a few more of our friends show up, and those "others" stay where they belong. Welcome, erm, Lily. Angel Cloud

Welcome.

I'm still having trouble connecting tea party with modern politics. Those pricks are killing my associations with the (awesome!) American Revolution. Turd burglars. Hmph.Cranky

Thanks OMan! I passed the link on to those you suggested. Interesting how many of the non conservatives and non christians are left standing 'over there.'

Thanks for the referral!

Welcome.. it looks like pippy-lite
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
