~*~ Nonbeliever / Non-religious Check-in ~*~
Happy
Thursday, Ladies! Sorry this is a bit late (I suck at check-ins 
)
This check-in group is intended for those of us who would like to connect with like-minded TTCALers for the purpose of providing non-religious support, which we may have difficulty finding elsewhere. We grieve differently than those with more mainstream religious views, and may also feel uncomfortable sharing our grieving process with others for this reason. There is a lack of communities and support structures available to non-religious individuals; I hope we can build one here.
***Please note, this group is NOT intended to offend anyone of religious faith.***
In order to try to eliminate any potential drama, and to avoid offending other posters, here are some ground rules to keep the peace. Please let me know of anything you think should be added or changed.
Ground rules:
~ Please keep these threads respectful, to each other and to the women with differing views who may read the posts. Our goal is support.
~
Though the topic of religion will inevitably be a frequent point of
discussion, please refrain from anything that would likely be
interpreted as bashing other religions. This is not the place for that.
Yes, share your thoughts and experiences, but keep it tasteful.
~
Of course all posters are welcome here, but let's avoid theological
debates on this thread. There are plenty of places on the web for
theological debates. There aren't plenty of places for support for
non-religious TTCALers.

Ham. I hate ham.
I think in general I'm a lot more open minded about other people's faith because I don't hold to one. I pick and choose concepts from lots of religions to form my own "belief system", and I think that in whole makes me a lot more accepting of everyone else's beliefs. I only become a judgy mcjudgerson when other people have no room for consideration of another point of view. That's a positive thing right?
Really, I just wanted to answer the 2nd non-religious question.
I HATE BANANAS!!!!

I think open-mindedness would be the answer for me. I have a particular friend that seriously believes that she will go to hell and so will I if she doesn't try to convert or change me. I just can't fathom being so damned closed minded, believing that your way is the only way. UGH!
I hate tomatoes! I can't stand the slimy sh!t that gets left over in salads when out to eat because I have to pick them out.
