I think it's been almost a year since I joined and became somewhat active in the Twitter universe. I did so with the intention of getting to discuss atheism and secular topics since the extremely Christian area in which I live offered no such outlet.
I've never been a social media person. Honestly I thought it was a waste of time. However, when I became more vocal about my atheism I found it difficult to find people to relate to. You're almost shunned in a way. Of course I had my wife (also an atheist) but as she was entrenched in her pursuit of her masters degree and her free time ledger was always in the red. So that's when I decided to give social media a shot.
What I didn't expect, and frankly thought was impossible, was the friendships that have been made with people I've never met in person. Had you told me that prior I would have simply laughed at you. What I have come to realize is that I truly enjoy the daily conversations with my friends on Twitter more than the interactions with some of the people I knew prior. The amount of intellilectual stimulation is endless.
That being said I want to thank you, my Twitter friends, for providing vast amounts of inspiration and great daily conversations. You have inspired me, in so many ways, to become more active and vocal in the secular community. I've expanded my understanding of so many things and I have you to thank.
So thank you. I obviously can't list every single person but below are some of the people who have inspired me the most...
Thank you!
