What on earth is Neece on about with that title? Well, I have to ask you a question and I need to let you know that company is coming into town for a week or 10 days or some such nonsense.

Ok, first, I want an avatar! I have no idea how to get one. Can someone please tell me the mystical woo secret of having one when I comment on my own goofy blog? LOLz… ok.. so I’m not the sharpest stick in the tiger trap.

Anyway, my husband’s family is descending en masse tomorrow (actually tonight now that it’s after 2 am) sometime in the evening. So, his two sisters are staying here for over a week and I won’t get much time to be in front of my beloved computer.

Hopefully I’ll at least gather together some good bible thumping vs atheist banter for you since we’ll be surrounded by “good” catholics. At least the food is delicious! LOL!

Wish me luck. I really don’t like having company. Oh well. Social Obligations and all that nonsense!

It seems in America today, being an atheist is tantamount to being unpatriotic. We’re constantly labeled “militant” by christians. My friend Hess did a blog post about it which I thought made a lot of sense. He defined militant and passionate. I agree with him, I’m a passionate atheist. And I’ve honestly never met a militant one. I have met angry ones, though. But personally, I get angry too. I think we have a lot to be angry about.

Anyway, I’ve been quiet about my atheism for 8 years. I keep my mouth shut. I never confront people, I never even mention it to people. It’s a personal thing. Or it has been. I’m not ashamed of being godless. I just don’t care for confrontation, and I don’t like offending people.

But why should I have to hide who I am? It’s more acceptable to be gay than atheist now. But maybe if all of us closet heathens came out and showed that we’re here and we’re.. uh.. not queer necessarily.. uh.. relatively nice ethical people, it won’t be so polarized.

Ok, so that’s a pipe dream. But since I started Believers Anonymous, and now Heaving Dead Cats, I realize it’s time for me to stand up and be myself.

So instead of going by Fruitloop, I’m going to use my name. I’m Neece. And I’m an Atheist. And I’m a Good Person. Deal with it, christians.

Today has been a great day for building foundations. I’m working on a good follow-up to Be Skeptical, but I really needed to put more time into it than I was able to allow. So it’s half done, waiting for some quiet time where I can get the information and my thoughts together properly.

Rome wasn’t built in a day, after all!

Just wanted to let you know that I’m working on that as well as some other historical information. Comments and suggestions or questions for what you’d like to see go up next are most welcome. So let me know what interests you!

Have a great day!

So there’s this new networking tool called Scoutle.
I’ll let this 4 minute video explain it, since it does a very good job:
