Camp Quest Texas
Camp Quest is the first residential summer camp in the history of the US for the children of Atheists, Freethinkers, Humanists, Brights, or whatever other terms might be applied to those who hold to a naturalistic, not supernatural world view.
mrs kelligurl commented on Dan's blog post 'The Law: Can Atheists Be Parents?'"Oh, I saw the "adopted son David, now 31...." and thought this was just recent update to the original article...oh my math is certainly off tonight!!!!!! Still makes me sick that this behavior is/was tolerated!"
mrs kelligurl commented on Dan's blog post 'The Law: Can Atheists Be Parents?'"This definately needs huge publicity! I'm suddenly sick to my stomach, I know this happens, it's just sad beyond words when I actually hear of it. I propose that anyone believing in a 'supreme being' not be trusted in public…"
A blog post by mrs kelligurl was featuredOath of Enlistment
I re-enlisted this past Thursday (14May2009). I have been in the military for over 6 yrs now, so I know I had to have said the words before....I guess I didn't pay that much attention to the entire oath previously. Now it has just been eating away at me!! Everything was fine until the very last sentence "So help me God". I cringed at the thought of saying this, however, I was on a stage in front of my entire battery and chain-of-command. I paused briefly, glanced at my husband, and uttered the…See More
Johnny commented on mrs kelligurl's blog post 'Oath of Enlistment'"Wikipedia of all places!! I was doing some research for a response on Facebook (a claim that the oath of enlistment had been changed, under Bush, to "support and defend the President of the United States" instead of "support and…"

- About Me:
- I'm happily married with 3 beautiful girls! Right now I just got out of the Army and I'm focused on completing my degree. I was raised Assembly of God and Baptist; long story short it never made sense to me...and after getting over my 'out' fears..I'm a much happier Atheist..which in turn has helped me be a better person, wife, and mother. Other than that I love to ride horses, dance, swim, and really anything that includes my family. I hope to help change the 'face' of Atheism, by that I mean helping to rid (or try too) peoples 'fears' of Atheists'. I try to show other than you can be a good person, help your community, serve our country, raise polite but intelligent children, etc. Wow, so that's a mouthful...if your still reading..."Sorry"
- Age
- 31-35
- Why are you here?
- To help change the face of Atheism and get people to overcome their fears of 'us'...show a respectful (don't take that as a weakness) side that's not on a rampage just to piss off and antagonize the rest of the world. And I would love to meet other like minded individuals
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- It just never made sense to me, but I went to a private Baptist school, and attended my family's Assembly of God church founded by my grandfather (a child molestor). People like to say I left 'god' because of the things my father did (followed his fathers foot steps); however; that is NOT why I left 'god'..I decided along time ago after thumbing through my little bible in sunday school. My teacher caught me reading other passages and I asked her about them...and her answer was "Re-read John 3:16..and behave" she was pretty upset. That was the moment that has fueled the last 20 yrs of reading the bible and searching. As a younger adult I attended church from time to time, however...my heart was screaming at me for being there...I just thought I was defective and that I needed to try harder to believe and see the 'right way'.. Once I realized that I didn't owe anyone anything and that if I don't want to follow this crap--I DON'T HAVE TOO!
