Hi everybody. I am new to this site. I actually have been lurking around for about a month now. I do not particularly call myself an atheist. I have discovered that I have a general dislike for most…Continue

Becca replied to Faith Ellis's discussion 'NOOB here'"Hello Faith and welcome. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mother and how some relatives treated both your mother and the situation.
This is exactly why I don't go to most funerals anymore. I don't want to sit for an hour or…"
Suzanne Olson-Hyde replied to Faith Ellis's discussion 'NOOB here'"Nasty people are nasty people - religion or not. So sorry to hear about your Mum - and so sorry about the trauma you are going through. The funeral story is typical - and don't start me on frigging families. Blood is not thicker than water -…"
Faith Ellis replied to Demitri Felder's discussion 'Struggle'"Not a general all out hatred, but sometimes I do feel something that is close to it. Especially lately when I hear about people like Rick Santorum and the loony pastor who introduced him at some churchy church event. When I hear people who are…"
Faith Ellis replied to Faith Ellis's discussion 'NOOB here'"HAHA. They worship Lex Luthor. Had to google that because I could not remember what super
villian that you were referring to. It is not a confusion such as me not understanding the christian "faith" as I grew up in church. I attending a…"
SteveInCO replied to Faith Ellis's discussion 'NOOB here'"A sad story, repeated endlessly; my mother was on her deathbed when my niece announced she was pregnant; my mom was comatose but they claim that people can hear you in comas, and I believe she did, and she reacted--probably madder than hell that she…"
John Kelly replied to Faith Ellis's discussion 'NOOB here'"Faith, I felt the same way at my dad's funeral. It wasn't as bad as this story, but it really pissed me off too. I hope you can find some community here. All of your questions make sense. It seems like a lot of this…"
Faith Ellis replied to Faith Ellis's discussion 'NOOB here'"Sorry part of my last post got messed up somehow.
What I was saying was my grandma was so affected by my mother's death that she herself became extremely ill after this, we almost lost her also. "
Faith Ellis replied to Faith Ellis's discussion 'NOOB here'"Thanks Nelson!
I did feel bad at the time because her own mother could not come to the funeral
or see her during her last days because she herself was sick (in the same hospital) and my mother's death"
Nelson replied to Faith Ellis's discussion 'NOOB here'"Hi Faith! I'm glad you joined up. We're always happy to have the lurkers we have (15,000 members but 300,000 or more unique visitors to the site each month so you can bet we LOVE our lurkers! LOL) but it sounds like you could use the…"

Hi everybody. I am new to this site. I actually have been lurking around for about a month now. I do not particularly call myself an atheist. I have discovered that I have a general dislike for most things religious. Since my mother died recently in November of 2011 I have realized that religion, mainly Christianity, has no place in my life. During the time she was in the hospital for the last few months she was alive barely any of her six sisters came to visit her. Her aunts and uncles came…See More
