I was still praying at the time when I joined Ex-c even though I continued to post questions every single day. And I was still very much into magical thinking. So, I imagined I had an angel to help me through my deconversion and I called her, ''Margee'', with 2 ee's. Lol I have to admit, she's become part of who I am and I think sometimes she might even be my ''higher self''!! Lol Love and ((hugs)) to you Interesting, especially given that you've been somewhat of an angel to a lot of people here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurpleLilac Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 My parents have large lilac bushes outside their house and in June,their yard smells fabulous. I was born in June and I wanted members to think “woman” when they read my name (which I am). My avatar is a tattoo I would like to get someday. A reference to getting free of religion and fear. Bird out of the cage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird out of the cage. Good choice. I've been thinking of getting a tattoo that references that as well, something with symbolic meaning. Part of me is still at the rebellious stage though and I'm going to wait it out before any decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerk Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 My older granddaughter used to put a very distinct “r” sound in the word “look.” “Lerk, Pops!” It was really, really cute I needed a new online name at the time and thought to use her pronunciation. I googled it and discovered that there’s a mythical creature by that name, and figured if I used that for my icon it would be less likely for people I know me in person to associate my posts with me, should I happen to be careless. I’ve written some things that would definitely give me away, yet this creature would likely make them second guess themselves. Of course, if they were to read this comment, I’d really be busted! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConsiderTheSource Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 My agnostic father (to the point where he would pray every night "just in case"). Gave me this solid piece of advice, past down to him from his father: "Consider the source, and let it go". It took me waaaaay too much time; but, eventually, I did just that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 My nickname "Lost" means that I'm kind of a person, that is completely lost in this world. People seem to live quite easy lives and do casual stuff. They find someone to be in a relationship, have kids, parents, grandparents and work. Yes, they have problems, but not that complicated and complex as someone who lost their own identity after losing faith in God and who lost mother in childhood...and more different problems as well. People around me and from my family are surprised that I am not like others and don't do things like others, but...ugh (they will never understand what I have in my head). I guess, I will start to tell them that I have problems that are not that famous in society and I was diagnosed with personality disorder, so sorry I can't grow that quickly to the standards of a normal world. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityCheck Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I chose my name because everything in my life up to this point, including the desertion of religion is one reality check after another. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinas Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Ellinas is the anglicized spelling of the Greek word for a Greek male. I'm not Greek, but it reflects my interests, and is less cumbersome than the equivalent word for Welshman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

☆ TexasFreethinker ☆ Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Mine is fairly simple - I'm from Texas and when I chose my nickname about 15 years ago I considered Freethinker to be the most appropriate label for my position on religion.

Super Moderator TheRedneckProfessor Posted January 2, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted January 2, 2019 I taught General Biology and Anatomy & Physiology for a while, at a local college. When students would complain about the subject being too difficult to understand, I would say, "If a dumb Redneck from out there where the foxes fuck can understand this stuff, then y'all civilized city-folk ought to have no problem with it." Didn't take long for the students to start referring to me as The Redneck Professor. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 1989 is one of my favorite songs from the band Mindless Self Indulgence, and I was pretty sure no one else had taken it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag_NO_stic Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Mine is also straight forward. When I joined this site, I was freshly agnostic. I didn't want to be recognized at some point with my "usual user" so I just picked what fit. I like that the word "no" is in it, because that's what I was saying to Christianity, to my old faith, and to what I'd been raised to believe. I simply emphasized the "NO" and here we are. It gives me subtle, yet distinct satisfaction every time I log in lol. Maybe ag_HELLNO_stic would have worked too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
