Nora Miller replied to Nelson's discussion 'Help Think Atheist fight cancer! We need your stories!'"Mike, it might seem a little easier to bear your struggles if you had religion behind you, but as you note, a lot of xtians face a real crisis of doubt when they realize that their god has apparently abandoned them to the vagaries of illness and…"
Mike replied to Nelson's discussion 'Help Think Atheist fight cancer! We need your stories!'"Currently my wife and I have been dealing with her struggle with breast cancer. A little over 3 years ago during her routine mammogram cancer was found in both breasts. Due to the size of one tumor and minor lymph node involvement in the…"
Ed commented on Nelson's blog post 'Sunday School MAY 27, 2012'"The North Carolina preacher demonstrated the rampant homophobia that helps to strangle the lives of loving Christians. The logic of his suggestion was also completely illogical. Heterosexuals are responsible for homosexual offspring in 999,999…"

- Why are you here?
- I enjoy the camaraderie. Plus, I read a lot about subjects that interest my fellow freethinkers and if I can help answer questions and/or provide reading suggestions so that they may have their questions answered then I'm glad to be able to do that. I think this place is important to people when it comes to feeling like they're not alone. It's a bastion of sanity and rationality in the sea of nonsense they find in their day to day lives. Insofar as it is that, I want to foster it and protect it to make sure it continues to be here for them, now and in the future.
- The religion you left
- Was never a part of one
- Why you left your religion.
- I was never a part of one. My mother is a non-practicing Episcopalian (who seems to be of the variety that Daniel Dennet would describe as "believing in belief") while my step-father is a non-practicing Reformed "Secular Jew"- while honoring Jewish traditions he wouldn't profess to believe in God. As such, I was never indoctrinated and, to their never ending credit, they provided for an environment where I could read and learn and consider questions on my own, thereby coming to my own conclusions with an unpolluted mind. The greatest thing a parent can do for a child.

We hope to have a selection of your experiences to read on the air. Our goal in this, as I've said, is to keep the focus on…

Laura Reilly said… Hi Nelson. I belong to a number of educators' groups that highlight social justice issues; they include "Teaching Tolerance," "Teaching for Change," and "Rethinking Schools." Teaching Tolerance shared a link to an article about banned books in Tucson's schools, and it was while reading it that I stumbled across Think Atheist. I don't know how exactly but I think it was referenced in the article or on that page. Anyway I haven't had too much time to read what's hear but I'm interested in what I see so far! Best, Laura
