WNC Atheists

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me



Our Website:
Our group meets regularly in Asheville, NC. I'm looking for more people who might be interested in our group or possibly in forming new groups closer to them.

I'm a Registered Nurse, Atheist activist and staunch supporter of the Constitutional principle of Separation of Church and State.

My Interests

Movies (even and especially those sappy love movies), Reading (anything -just about - regarding the sciences, religion etc. and don't forget sex), some TV (but not that much any more), In-depth conversations (about those things particularly that I like to read about), Studying people and understanding our world which is largely made-up of interactions between those people.

I'd like to meet:

More atheists. Click the "Add Yourself" button to put yourself on the map!WNCAtheists

Music:

I like a little bit of everything from classical to heavy metal and punk-rock even some rap.Some of my favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Metallica, and Bad Religion.

Movies:

The best movie ever made..."Pink Floyd's The Wall" And no honestly you shouldn't be F*cked up to watch it. I've seen it at least 150 times by now (I lost count at 135) and alot of people could benefit from the message presented in that movie. Alcohol and/or drugs will just make you miss the message.

Television:

I used to watch "The Daily Show" every night but rarely catch it now.I like sit-coms and a lot of educational programming...you know, like "The Man Show" but I hardly ever watch the tube these days.

Books:

There's LOTS of books that I really liked

Books I really liked: The entire series of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams- Great humorous fiction five books in the series

Most of Richard Dawkin's works. - excellent science writer.

"Steppenwolf" By Herman Hess

"Religion Explained"by Pascal Boyer

"The Hite Report" (Both volumes male and female sexuality) By Shere Hite

"The Naked Ape" by Desmond Morris

And far too many others to remember and list

Not one of my favorites, but I highly recommend:

The Bible the MOST owned and LEAST read book in the world. I know more atheists who've read the whole thing than I know Christians who have.

If an atheist can take the time to read it....why can't YOU?

Heroes:

Anybody who's not afraid to stand up in our society and say "I don't believe".
There's far too many people out there just going with the flow, voicing a nominal belief in something they've never even seriously thought about, much less studied.
And that in itself is FINE. You can believe whatever helps you struggle through this life...here in the USA, we're supposed to have that freedom. But if YOU have that freedom, EVERYONE DOES. Whether they believe in Jehova, Hecate, Allah, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) - or NONE OF THE ABOVE.
The folks who are brave enough to stand up and say "I don't believe in any of 'em!" frequently face derision (from society), exclusion (from friends and families) , and other hardships simply because they exercise their right to freedom of conscience. It can be tough for folks like me, but the more of us who say "I don't believe" the easier it will become. And hey, maybe some of those folks hiding behind a facade of belief will get the courage to speak up.

All you HEATHENS out there....

The great thing about MySpace is that it allows you to almost instantaneously locate and connect with other individuals out there who you might share interests with.  This is particularly valuabl...
