Hello my name is Patti I live in rural south Georgia with my husband on a small patch of land we call out own.
Since I was around 16 years old or even maybe younger than that I had doubts about god and religion in general. Things just seem not to add up.
So except on forums Iam not shy about my atheism. Just here living in the south the bible belt poses some problems. My family is baptist and they don't really how active Iam as an atheist. My mother is open to the fact but she constantly wants me to change my mind or suffer the torments of hell or something.
I hope I can add to this forum and maybe we all can become friends.
Warmest hugs to all

Welcome Patti 
I look forward to discussing the fallacies of religion with you. I'm sure your mum'll come around to accepting it eventually.

Welcome, Patti. You're in a tough area for sure, as an atheist. Glad you're here, and thanks for sharing your background!
