Metroplex (DFW) Atheists

Whether you’re a believer trying to see what these crazy atheists are all about, or a non-believer looking for like minded people, relax…take your time…look around. We’re a friendly, accommodating group that likes to help people find what they’re looking for. 

We’re also very sociable so if you really want to get a three dimensional look at who atheists are, please join us at one of our meetings. Our Wednesday evening get-togethers are like a gathering of friends getting together after work for a burger and a beer. I know walking into a bunch of strangers can be daunting but you’ll find us very informal, friendly and very welcoming to folks who just want to visit, as well as those who may want to consider becoming a part of the group.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Texas: the Blooming Marsh That Was Once Desert

A deluge of torrential rains has lashed the Lone Star State for more than a month—making June one of the wettest ever recorded in Texas.

The rains spurred Texas’ grassy plains to bloom dense vegetation, as seen in a photograph taken by a NASA satellite between June 11 and June 20.

The deep, emerald green indicates regions where plants are growing more quickly or robust than average, and the dark, almost-black color marks where vegetation was most dense.

Brown spots point to clouds or water on the ground, which in some cases may mask plant growth.

About 48,000 square miles (124,319 square kilometers), an area the size of Mississippi, was pounded by rains. Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas were hit with more than 330 percent of their average rainfall. In Texas, every major river basin flooded, an event that had not occurred since 1957, according to the Associated Press.
