Why did u join atheist forum?
I used to be Christian and I hated god so much, I joined another atheist foun first few years ago hoping to change my beliefs
Now I did kinda, I like chatting here for like minded people
Seeig god get e-bashed
And cuz I lost all my friends irl.

Are most of y'all ex-Christians too?
Lot of y'all said u don't hate god or believe in him.

Also in my chrisitan forum there were lot of atheist that would come to debate, what is the point in debating xtians?? They just quote bible verses that they find on google while athiest say that's not evidence
Those threads go on forever and no one changes any belief
So what's the point in that?

Save your displeasure for that which actually exists. There may be no god but he certainly has legions of asshole followers. They should be your focus.

As for the reason for being here...one simply meets a better class of people other than the aforementioned god-following fools.

One thing I hateeeeee about cf, If your beliefs don't line up
Word for word with the general e-USA-conservative-christian dogma,
Your automatically outcasted and on their prayer list.

And it is hurtful no matter what you believe to have someone say that what u believe is wrong Sad

RE: Why did u join atheist forum?



I have a mental illness which includes chronic depression. One to two years ago, I was terribly depressed and bored and isolating at home. In order to lift my spirits some, I started re-reading the stuff at TalkOrigins.org. Somewhere in that process, I started re-reading papers on philosophy of mind, and stuff at Infidels.org. The Farrell Till stuff led me to TheologyWeb.com, and that led to searching out atheist forums, AFO being first, and rationalia second. As I was starting to enjoy myself, the thought occurred to me that there must be local discussion groups, like at a university. So I googled, and didn't find the university groups, but found MeetUp.com, which provides a structure for people to organize special interest groups in their community. So I signed up. (I'm currently a member of 14 groups, with philosophy, atheism, and humanism being the most active.)

I was very active in another community that was completely unmoderated. We had quite a few hyper-religious folk that drove me up the wall. I could not have a rational conversation about religion or history without some complete wackjob coming in and shitting all over it, so I looked for somewhere else to have "normal" discussions and wound up here.

There are a few folks on this site that make me think, a few more that turn a nice phrase, some funny ones and some very intelligent ones with quirky flaws. Why join? Not sure.

I was never debilitatingly Christian and shook off what little had attached to me at a young age so I'm not angry.

I notice you identify yourself as just agnostic. My agnosticism is as important to me as my atheism or perhaps more so. But I would always cop to both. I'm curious what sort of agnostic you are. Do you feel that knowledge of gods is in principle out of reach, or is that a personal confession of your own failure to find any? Hopefully you don't think of agnosticism as atheist-lite as too many seem to think. None of my business of course but now you have my curiousity pricked.

My reason for joining? I was bored Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
