Hi all,
Im Rachael, Im 25 and I live in Jacksonville, Florida. Im an atheist and liberal, and I am surrounded at work and by friends who are highly religious and conservative. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, but I feel like I am going to implode if I don't surround myself with other people who aren't close minded. I hope to find some interesting conversation, debate, and some friendship on these boards.

Welcome, Silvia! If you're anything like me (and judging by your introduction post, you are), you'll love it here. This is what I felt like when I first found the place:

(And don't forget to get yourself a sufficiently atheisty avatar!
)

Quote from: "Kyuuketsuki"We have many interesting and varied characters here, in fact we got so many people coming in I think we are going to need to create a who's who page at this rate (also might help newbie's to spot the nut jobs) ... I know I could use one ;)
We're all good people, I promise!

Welcome, this forum is a little short on atheists and could definitely use your perspective

Hiyas!
That's all I really had planned . . . /* ASIDE: Curio, you never encouraged me to get an avatar. It better not be just because I'm not 25 and my name isn't Rachael. */
Oh, yeah, whoever says we're nuts is misleading you. Just "nuts" is a gross understatement.

Hey Rachel.
I've been here a short while but have enjoyed myself very much. You will find there are a lot of open minded and cerebral people here. There are also a few theists. Seriously, it's been fun.
