Intro

Hallo everybody! I am a 26 yo nurse from Oregon and have been out and proud since I came across the God Delusion last summer when I was in Switzerland. Slef described as agnostic before, It was amazing to find out I could be more, and damn it, I could still be proud of myself. Then I find out that MANY people are out and it's growing!

It's felt great to let go of the fear of "maybe I should try to believe a little bit in case I am wrong". leftover from Sunday school as a kid.

 

Re-learning the difference between tolerance and respect has helped me with many of conversations of late.

 

I like this site a lot as there is always a new topic to read about.

Joy

Welcome!

I had a puffer fish a few years ago when I setup my first saltwater aquarium. It died a week after. Don't make me go through that again, so stick around, eh? Smiling
