The post in which an atheist goes to bed a little earlier than usual...

The husband and I went to the local atheist meeting last night. We were there for three hours. I did not feel anxious, I felt accepted. I liked it. I liked it a lot. Maybe I will have more to say about it later, or maybe I have already said it all in the comments of this post.

I feel relatively peaceful right now. You know what I'm doing? The meeting was at a local bookstore and I bought myself a treat after the meeting. I bought an audio book because sometimes I just want someone to read me a story. I took a break from hearing the story to update here. And now I think I will put the story back on and go to bed.

Goodnight, y'all.

  1. With both Christians and Atheists I never know if it's okay for me to comment, seeing as that I'm sort of an agnostic pagan kind of person and thus Christians find me evil for not believing in their god and Atheists find me stupid for believing in anything spiritual. Ah well...

  2. You are always welcome here, Lily. I have a slightly agnostic bent, too. I'm not saying there is 'nothing', I'm simply citing a lack of what I consider evidence, saying 'there are a lot of things I can't really know' and rejecting dogma accordingly. And I don't find you in the least bit stupid. Nowhere even close. And... I like you.
