Former lurker, first time poster here

Hi guys...

I have been lurking here for a little while and finally decided to join in. I am a New England transplant now living in North Central Florida outside of Ocala...it is VERY Christian here, and a tough place to be an atheist. I feel like a one-woman army around here...when my voice goes hoarse from debating Christians, I have to resort to eye-rolling, and I have sprained my eyeballs several times from rolling them so much. I have been living here for about 8 years and have made only one friend...finding rational, freethinking individuals in this area has proven to be near impossible, and there aren't any atheist groups that meet within a reasonable radius of my home either. I'm on a friggen island here!  

So, here I am. Glad I finally joined. Hopefully I will have something to contribute once in awhile.

 

-Kathie

Kathie, you say you are married, is your husband Atheist??  Has he joined this group?  Not that we need more men, but I enjoy reading a variety of threads.  My second and third daughters are both belted in Tae Kwon Do.  Red belt and brown belt respectively.

My husband doesn't doesn't really say what he is...to be honest, I can't get him to give me a straight answer on the subject. He's not the message board type, so I think I can safely say that he won't be joining. He's too busy between work, martial arts, and his other hobbies...we are basically like two ships passing in the night.

That's great that your daughters are in martial arts...not only is it great exercise, it builds character, and brings about a great sense of accomplishment. That's how I feel about equestrian sports too (my specialty).

Muay Thai is an awesome striking art ( my favorite ) but when it comes to multiple attackers I prefer to rely upon a hand gun ( I know, it's not very noble but it is an effective countermeasure. )

Would you be interested in a barter?  What would a stout programmer who fancies himself an alien get me kind sir?
