Hope you'll welcome me here!

I actually opened up to my wife last night and told her that I am an atheist.

Damn...that felt good. Plus, she didn't judge me at all. She knew...in fact, she had known the moment I came back from Afghanistan nearly seven years ago. All she said was, "well thank God", lol "You're finally admitting it"

Ugh...feels good to be out of the closet, so to speak!

2. Hello

Did you leave your faith in Afghanistan?

[Docreed2003]

4. Pretty much

Seeing little kids blown up will do that to a person, I suppose.

That sounds terribly crass, but it's true.

5. True

We have school kids being shot here now and all we get are thoughts and prayers.

6. SMH

As a parent of school age kids, it's frightening. I've seen that type of devastation up close and personal...no parent should have to experience that.

I was in denial for years. It's liberating to finally accept it.
