Older woman here, and do not discount us old farts...my facebook account has been suspended for profanity..

Can you speak louder I CAN'T HEAR THAT WELL?

There's a mix here @Krystal_H look around and don't be so fucking judgemental.

" ... there are a lot of old people on this site ... "

Umm ... how "old" is old, whippersnapper?

I'm 57. I'm not offended at being referred to as "old" so, I'll answer this as honestly as I can given that there isn't a definitive reason for it.

My generation is full of the IT guys that (25 years ago) were building the Internet and the tools that you use to access it. We're very active on social media everywhere.

And, as far as your observation that my generation on Facebook and Twitter tend to be religious and/or conservative, you're just mistaken. The vast majority of my friends on my social media accounts are like minded with me. Most of them are pretty liberal.

This place is still pretty new from what I understand. Given more time, I'm sure you will find many more of your kind on here. Have you invited any?

Sorry Krystal, to make you feel you've wandered into the "brain gymnastic for the elderly" or something. My daughters are too busy to spend time here. They'd be more your age. And a lot of young men are too busy playing computer games.

Dang ... mah dentures popped raht outen mah mouf when I read this 'n'. Let me tell ya sumpin 'bout us old folks, kiddo. If you hang out with us you might just learn something that will give you a slight advantage over those other inexperienced, unlearned, unwashed heathen youngsters out there. Might even keep you out of trouble or give you some tips on how to get out of it when you have to. There is nothing like talking to those 'been-there-done-thats' when it comes to getting useful information and avoiding learning things the hard way.

What? I'm in the 1980s to 1999 range (1994) So I'm 23 at the moment. There does seem to be a strange age jump in open atheism from lesser than >15 and greater than 30. Though I suspect most of my generation is non-religious. There is the possibility of never coming across the site or figuring they have enough friends already.

Hey thanks Krystal, I didnt think i was an old person till now LOL

you can get more points and get to higher levels faster if you recruit people to the site

I'm not sure millenials can afford access to the internet, what with all their student loans and low pay.

We've had more time to consider things..

Who you callin ‘old?’ Don’t you know that ‘old’s the new middle-aged’ My daughters laugh at facebook … we’re not even ‘friends.’ Snapchat & Instagram are their platforms, I think..

I feel those ‘your age’ are surrounded by like-minded age-related friends. As you’re forced deeper into society you’ll lose track of those friends and likey learn the oppression and intimidation of religion, assuming you were fortunate enough not to have grown up amid it.

For me, I’ve been impressed at the number of youngsters! - and women! Crap, when I first became active with Atheists you’d show up at ‘a meeting’ to 95% men ..most older than I was.. Well, if you’re concerned with a social evolution away from religion - enjoy the company of those having led the charge ~

Old age brings the following:

• fading senses. Like - ALL of them.
• bad short term memory
• justified crankiness
• less ego, ironically
• perhaps some wisdom thanks to life experience

Millenials are characterized as self absorbed entitled spoiled shits raised by helicopter parents who wanted their children to be their buddies. I don't know you, so I'm certainly not applying that description to you, but I have a shitload of nieces and nephews that fit it to a tee.

Who you calling OLD?

Good because I am not into millennials but You Must Define To Us..."OLD".

Not exactly sure what age is from my perspective maturity outweigh age by megatons.

This was an entertaining read lol.

they havent heard of the site yet?

older people have time for more wisdom. it's not young men who send the old to war to die.

Then a person can go on a different site where younger people hang around. Yes most of the older people are on Facebook but more younger people are using Twitter. Most of the current celebrities use Twitter and ones that were famous use Facebook and if a person wants lots of followers on Twitter, always use # hashtags.

Lots of young atheists use Twitter.

A lot of funny and appropriate replies to @Krystal_H. Maybe, like most of us, she expected this to be more of a dating site and hasn't figured out how much of what goes on here is about community too? It's also good to have your expectations fucked with a bit. Most our age would not be on a site like this. Most but not all... Still "old people" was kinda fucked up! Don't worry Krystal, I at least forgive you.

Word9ie walt's comment was great, YES I belive that the anveneical conservating want to develop a group wher thet can pass law and beliefs that's aking is so thye canpass laws on how everyelse must live. They're goint to hate and fall apart when cutrual diversity really beginst to
really evolve

I think there are lots of young atheists, agnostics abd skeptics - they just have things to do that are so much more fun than nattering away on here or facebook!
