Hello Todd.
I'm always suprised how hardcore US Christians can be.  Even orthodox religious folks tend to be quite private here in the UK.

Ditto for Canada, unless you are around Alberta. It's pretty much the "Bible-belt" of Canada.

Until a member has 50 posts they can only respond to threads in the Laid Back Lounge, so I assume you were looking to reply to threads outside that area?

I live down south (Carolina) the only other atheist at my school is my GF... Thats it. We already put up a sign in the office saying "Are you an Atheist?" and only me and her made tallies. Most other people wrote bible quotes and other stuff saying we were damming outselves to hell because of not believeing in god

Hi & welcome.

What area of Texas Todd? I lived in central and eastern and they are not half as bad as the bible thumpers here in NC. I did think TX was bad until I moved here. I will go this campground thing they are getting ready for and post some pics on here. It's just nuts.

Is there a place that shows how to post pics? I have a Photobucket which is how I did it on other forums years ago.

God bless the internet!  Heh, irony...

Hopefully we can help you feel less alone while you're stuck in an environment where it seems everyone has faith in something you don't.

Welcome to the boards!
