Hi, my name is Kelly. Haha, starting off like that, it feels like I’m in AA. I’m a Legal Studies major at Grand Valley and I jumped at the chance to join Freethought on campus when it started in January because I was raised in the Roman Catholic church and as most people know, it’s the easiest way to convert someone to agnosticism/atheism. There are so many Christian groups on campus and they make sure they get their names and agendas out there so it was awesome to meet people I could really relate to. I’m also an active member in GVSU’s pro-choice group and now I get twice as many death glares when people overhear me talking about Freethought while I hand out free condoms for the pro-choice group. When school ended in April, I started going to Freethough meetings downtown because I was jonesing for some good “godless heathen” fun. Getting more involved with the group is on my to-do list but with my schedule fall semester and lack of transportation, it’s not looking very good. Hoping for the best, though.
