Wouldn’t say he’s an atheist
Hey there, I just want to say, I appreciate what you’re doing, this my first time viewing your blog, and i’m really impressed.

Umm.. I’ve been an atheist for a while. (I like the smaller “a” as opposed to the capped “A”.. I’m not real fond of labels) And I outed myself in the local paper. Some in my family have since black-listed me. Now that I’ve outed myself again.. will I have to put up with even [...]
