Wow, I'm so lame. I'm so nervous about posting on here! I feel like it's a deep, dark secret that would make so many people in my life run in the other direction. On the other hand, I feel so free to finally not call myself a Christian. I always felt like I was being a fake, just playing a part because that's what everyone around me does. I never realized just how freeing it would be to stop going to church and pretending any of it resonated with my heart or my mind.
On the basic side, I'm a 38 year old mom of 3 (a 7 year old and 5 year old twins). I got an old dog who isn't doing so well, and a flat-faced cat who is the epitome of mellow. And I'm fortunate to have a spouse who enjoys questioning God--or lack thereof--together.
I look forward to chatting with other questioners.

Hi! I can commiserate with the sick puppy, in that boat with several of my rescues right now. Hubby and I also debate god, church, religion, etc. We get pretty heated about it some days but it's fun.

Hiya businessocks,
I like the screen name. I don't have a clue what it means, but it's neat. Another neat thing is that although your first/greeting post may have been nervous, well...since you got that out of the way, you need not be nervous any longer...*grinnin*. Now that you got your toes wet, jump on in. The water's fine here.

Thanks for the welcome!
My screen name is from a Flight of the Conchords song. Business socks refers to leaving your socks on when you...ahem...with your significant other. That's why they are called "business" socks. "It's business, it's business time."

Should I be nervous that people are nervous about posting on the forum? :hide:
