Welcome!

You are sure to find here many (most? all?) of the same general features and dynamics of other online communities. This is both "pro" and "con".

Unique to this site, I believe--and strictly a "pro", in my book--is the caliber and nature of intelligent discourse that may be found here.

Enjoy.

Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome 2 the community and the century☺

Welcome... have fun!

Me thinks you have found an opportunity to have that family.

I just have to send a welcome from a happy camper who lives thousands of miles away and two oceans. I live in Hobart, Tasmania - southernmost state of Australia. Just take it easy - you'll be comfortable with the site and the cool people you'll meet.

Thank you all for the kind wishes! I feel very welcome here. I look forward to seeing what friendships may come from joining this site.

I love it here, & I hope you come to, also! Welcome! Look around & enjoy!

Welcome!

Welcome. Had the exact same mindset as you.
It’s entertaining when I get bored and go through my email for some entertainment. Hope you are into cerebral philosophical conversations.

Welcome to Facebook for heretics! The people are great and the levels are cool.

Welcome. Sit back relax and enjoy great, intelligent and enlighten discussions. Plenty of very smart, witty and beautiful women here! Unfortunately, I'm not here for dating though but I do appreciate quality people.

Welcome to the site. Lots of interesting topics and conversation.

Welcome to our humble home. just post, comment and have hours of fun. You are well and truely hooked.

It is good to be able to know that we are out there.

We are here in all walks of life. Rural and Urban.

This is a place of comfort.

On edit -

I am even acquainted with a young man FB in Pakistan who was talking about wobbling between Atheism and Agnostic. .

Being too outspoken about such things can get you killed there.

He was studying to be a teacher of American Literature and probably has read more than I have of it. Many modern works. There weren't many I mentioned that he wasn't familiar with.

He graduated and did get a teaching job in, I want to say France, but I'm not positive about that.

I was very relieved when he left Pakistan.

It is difficult enough being an Atheist when the toughest thing is finding a social group you feel you can be yourself in.

We are not in fear for our lives. I really admired his courage.

Hiya from UK xx

I love it. Welcome.

I’m also from the Midwest, though not rural. A very “Christian “ place. That’s why I joined this site, too. Just to chat with people who are not going to bless me or pray for me or tell me it’s all part of god’s plan. Hope you enjoy ?

Welcome to the site! I love it here! There are many wonderful people with very interesting things to say here.
