I Don’t Speak for All Atheists!

I would like to make a disclaimer here and that is, well, I don’t speak for all atheists and not all atheists agree with my hard line approach to religion. Atheism is simply the disbelief in a god or goddess and it’s not just your god or goddess, it’s all gods and goddesses. That’s pretty much it, and it allows for a wide variety of opinion among atheists, even some atheists who believe in UFO abduction or some that believe in Leprechauns (technically, since Leprechauns and UFOs are not gods you can still believe in them without compromising the default status as an atheist). The only thing that binds atheists is the disbelief in any god or goddess and this is generally the only thing commonly shared by atheists. We have differing political beliefs, some are Republican and some are even Communists (oh come now, is that such a bad thing compared to what America is NOW?). We have differing beliefs in the ideas of morals or how to live our lives, even atheists in the same profession have different methods of going about doing the same task. But we are all bound by the disbelief in a faery tale god who supposedly wants to save everyone from a horrible fate that could have been prevented by him and was actually put into play by him. We act responsibly in our religious beliefs, not allowing superstition into our day-to-day lives. Continue reading ‘I Don’t Speak for All Atheists!’

On Tuesday, I will be making the trip to Indiana to finalize the legal name change. I have a few sets of clothes packed and enough food to get me there and maybe to help me survive the trip back. I have enough reading material to interest me for the trip there, and when I get back, I will bring back the rest of my reading materials in my second suitcase (hope Areya can spare $5 for the extra suitcase fee that Greyhound levies, I am broke after Wells Fargo levied one false overdraft fee too many). Other than that, I am totally ready and excited to attend the name change hearing before the judge in the middle-of-fucking-nowhere, Indiana. And I am totally excited to head the hell back here to Colorado and obtain my fully female ID card with the DR 2083 that I had to have Dr. Wilson sign.
