Welcome to the group!

@BeckL that’s a hard spot to be in. There’s no way to predict how and when people will change over time but it does happen. My wife and I both were agnostic when we met. For me, it was just a matter of coming out fully atheist. When I did, I was hard core and angry for awhile about how religious this country is. Then I settled down. After that, it was her turn. It was kind of cute actually. Her bringing up subjects I argued about just a few years back. But I’m glad she came around because then she became more comfortable in her skin as she started announcing her atheism. We have often spoken about relationships in which one is an atheist and the other a theist and how that would cause some major problems. She has a co-worker who has a small child that has yet to tell her husband she’s agnostic. He wants their child raised in church and she’s trying her hardest not to let that happen. I think the greatest problem that can exist between two people in a long term commitment is that their core beings along with their beliefs will eventually come into conflict. It’s inevitable. I hope it continues to work out for both of you.

Here’s my old profile: http://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/ToniDaTyga

I can’t find a link to my old profile. It’s been many years. I wouldn’t even know where to begin to find it if I can’t get on thinkatheist.com. But, now that I have access to the about me section, I will update it. I can PM my old email address if you now where to find it.

And re. fingerprint scanners: that would be a nearly impossible sell without a huge leap in technology. The most important and sought-after feature in firearms is reliability. I have to clock in with a fingerprint scanner at work, and it’s absolutely horrible. On a gun it would take up tons of space, add weight, and be a failure-prone battery-dependent component. Unless it worked instantaneously and with 100% reliability, it would be a liability for self-defense.

Yeah I agree. That would take away those precious seconds one has to defend themselves.

Also, when I go to my profile and settings, all it shows is base and then a space for my name. No “about me” section.

When I try to go to thinkatheist.com it takes me here. I just have my old email address that was linked to it and where you contacted me at to tell me there was a new site.

Those videos are awesome!

How do you do that?

I live in Louisville, Kentucky and we are an open carry state. However, if just a thread of clothing goes over the gun, and you don’t have a conceal carry permit, you are breaking the law. So I saved myself the trouble, and got the permit. LEO’s, can be very unfriendly towards citizens that carry guns and in light of all this aggressive police behavior lately, I’ve been leaving my gun home. Now I’m in California temporarily for a job, and I left my gun home in Kentucky. I’ll take my chances with the criminals. Maybe I’ll invest in a stun gun and some training later on.

Thanks! I didn’t realize you could link your old profile. But that’s okay. I haven’t been on in so long, it probably wouldn’t have mattered.

Well I’m a travel RN that works med-surg and telemetry and you could just imagine the flack I have gotten in the past for being an atheist healthcare professional. How I could I possibly deny the existence of god when I am witnessing “miracles” everyday? I don’t know…Maybe because I believe in science? I am perfectly capable of doing my job without letting my personal non-beliefs get in the way. Unlike some of my religious cohorts who will just go into a patient’s room and announce they will pray with them (and then brag about it later) or the ones that act shocked that their patient answered atheist on their admission form and now they are creeped out about providing care. While traveling I always keep my mouth shut because they can cancel your contract for any reason. However, I always make friends with the nurses I work with and after I leave, they find my Facebook profile and then the shit hits the fan lol.
