Welcome!

Welcome!

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare

Well, I'm from Portland

Well, I'm from Portland Maine, though I haven't lived there in 7 years due to being in the military..( There ARE atheists in foxholes)

I would say that there is a strong religious presence in the military, which makes things tough sometimes for me..but I have opened some eyes and woken some to reality..which always feels good...It's always amusing to me whenI wear my atheist resistance or simililar attire..I get some off looks..but of course bei ng my size, looks is about all I get...Anyway, thanks for the warm welcomes and I'm glad to be a part of..well..a rational group..Peace
