Well Hello Ms. Atheist!

Today I met an atheist. I mean, she didn't have a sign on her chest or anything like that. It's not like I've never met one, it's just I don't really hang in atheist circles. Once I got over the language shock (she threw in the "f" bomb 4 or 5 times), I found her quite interesting and entertaining. Funny thing is she actually lives up the street from me, yet I met her 20 miles away.

You see this is how it all happened.

My husband wanted a good internet filter. So, I found this thing called iboss. It filters every device in our house except the things we don't want to view. Somehow it also has slowed everything down so that mid movie, or my uploading YouTube videos, everything comes to a halt and then I hear, "Mom!!!" Anyway, for my job I make product movies, edit them and upload them, amongst other things. Since, I had to go visit my massage therapist (it's a double home run as I get a massage and I get to vent all my problems at the same time), I decided to take my lap top  to a Starbucks near her office and work on a few videos. Wouldn't you know the uploading was awesome!

Anyway, about an hour into my uploading frenzy at my Starbucks office, I realized I really needed to go to the restroom. I didn't want to take my laptop with me, so I asked the lady sitting next to me to watch it.

She said, "Oh you trust me not to steal your computer?"
"Yes. I actually do," I said, as I smiled at her.

After I came back to my secure computer, we started talking and she mentioned something about a Passover recipe. Turns out she's Jewish and atheist. (Hey, I'll mention "Passover" next to the women with the head covering and see if she reacts).

"Well, that's really interesting," I said, "I"m Jewish and not atheist."

She said, "Yes, I could tell."

It must have have been the head covering. It always give me away.

Anyway, she's a psychologist and we proceeded to talk about negative pasts, poor life decisions an of all things...morality.

We steered away from the whole "G-d" subject, souls, afterlife, burning in hell, and so on. Just morality.

I thought I had better play it safe.

She took my business card and my card displaying my book, A Tale of Two Souls, My Hand of G-d Story. It might be fun for her to read my book. I had another friend, Bob, who read my book. I thought he was atheist. I asked him how that worked out for him, reading my book and being atheist. He said, "I'm not really atheist, just agnostic."

OK, well, I don't know. All the labels just confuse me. I think in a 24 hour period, I probably cross them all myself.

I'm sure G-d is laughing placing all these extremely religious and non religious people in my path.

These things just don't happen by themselves.

Unless of course you're an atheist psychologist.
