New here

Hello all.

I am new to this site but not new to atheism, I live in the north eastern part of Massachusetts and, if you watch the news you know that we had a christmas snow storm. Because of the that my husband had to work, called in at 1:30am and worked until 3pm. My daughter spent the night with us but woke up sick and stayed in bed most of the day. So...I spent the day alone. I had hoped to have a quiet day with them, nice breakfast, cookies all day, You get the picture.

Well, in a moment of weakness I posted on Facebook that "anyone who says they love snow on christmas is getting a snowball in the face". The very first reply was from a woman I know who never comments on ANYTHING telling me that what I said wasn't nice and the snow on christmas is a gift from god. UGH! I think she is one of those who only go to church on holy days and have no idea why she made the comment. I have many christian friends, one, a church youth minister, replied with "Ouch, I felt that" . It was a joke, sort of, more like a rant. I was stunned by her reaction. So here I am, hoping I can be myself.

Thanks for letting me tell my tale.
