What to say...
I'm a 44 year old male who quit high school at 15 and received a G.E.D. at 21. I've had no further formal education(always a big draw to the ladies). Having some poems published in books and on a CD for the blind is my claim to fame.
I was born an atheist like everyone else who has ever existed and stayed that way. Religion has always been a foreign concept. My mother only forced me to go to a church twice. The second time at age 7 I can remember sitting in a pew looking around at people as if they were aliens, which is the best way I can describe the feeling. A couple of minutes into the service everyone suddenly raised their hands above their heads and began to babble. It literally terrified me and I ran out of there as fast as my little legs would go.
After getting home I told her she could have me beat if she wanted but I was never going into a church again. Fortunately there was no beating and was never made to return.
Guess that's enough of an introduction. Good to be among the like-minded.

Theists changing my derision of religion is equivilent to pissing into the wind and expecting not to get wet.
