Hello all,
I'm a long time atheist, raised Orthodox Judiasm but left it ALL behind in my early 20's...it took a few years.
I'm now a 70yo grandmother, married 50 years this November. Hubby is an atheist, too, as are my 2 children and 3 grandchildren.
I hope we can have some lively discussions soon!
Welcome to the club

G'day mate! One of our resident Antipodeans here, have a great time! Of course, I should point out that it really all the other people that live in the Antipodes, the Land of Oz is really the centre of the universe...

Not according to every map in the USA. We are ALWAYS the center! The world rotates around us Americans. We let Canada think they're included...shhh, don't tell them!
Greetings from another newbie (from Canada). We know each other from other forums.
Greetings, Cranky!
Welcome, Patty. Don't let Tank's comment put you off. This isn't a complete loony bin; some of us are mentally stable. I think you will soon discover that I am one of the sane and sensible members here.

It is known that The Asmo is the sanest and The Asmoest of all Asmos, which makes His Divine Sanity... Well,
divine. :smilenod:
Nothing wrong with loonies!!!
How often do I have to answer questions and letter boxes? Will I have to do this with each PM? I know the answers, I just seem to have trouble spelling Antarctica. Ha!

Interesting--I didn't know new members were required to answer the questions three for PMs. If it continues, please say.

did think it was getting to be a bit much... grin...
You're fresh meat. The zombies are after you.
i never had to do any of that stuff.
or maybe i did?
Welcome to the forum Pattylyt.
We have a good time here and laugh it up too. We are a different lot that does not spend much time damning the Christians or people of other religious persuasions..
You will see that we talk more about cooking, art, photography and a lot of other stuff like motorcycles, music and more. Most of us have some education. We usually take the more liberal view of world affairs but not always.
I do hope that you will jump into the mix and enjoy yourself by participating with people who actually respect one another. We are a rather small group that resembles a widely separated family. Feel free to disagree with any of us if you want to.

Well said, Icarus! :thumbsup:
Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm a flaming liberal that tries to understand the viewpoints of others, though success is fleeting. I've been an atheist since my very early 20's. Since I'm now 70, it's been a long time. I was raised in Orthodox Judaism but not the extreme version like the Hasidic. Once I walked away, unlike many Jews, I did not remain culturally Jewish. I became totally secular. It did take me a few years before I tried pork. Discovering bacon was amazing!
I hope we all become great friends...
