Guten Tag
June 21, 2012 at 9:46 pm
Hello forum members, i just joined and thought I should introduce myself. I'm Chris, I'm 25 years old and I'm a german. I live in Berlin and I'm an atheist. I am also a member of a german atheistic forum, but since I wanted to practice english anyhow, I thought, "why not"? I hope it's okay, if I use you guys for practice? I'm, of course, sorry for the mistakes I'm making. I hope I will get better.

I have no conversion story. I never believed in god or anything like that, which is actually unusual, because in Germany you have religion as a school subject.
I realized pretty late (I think I was 14) that I was an atheist (until then, I didn't know what an atheist was) and so I started to do some research about the subject. I read Nietzsche for example and also other philosophers. Unfortunately I have been a bad student in school, so I'm not that good at science, but I'm trying to learn.

Well, I guess that was it. If you have any questions, ask them. Again, I'm sorry because of the mistakes (I certainly made some).

By the way: Guten Tag means good day or better good afternoon, but you can more or less say it anytime of the day (in Berlin it's now nearly 4:am. So, I have to go to sleep now. Good night.

Sehr gut, Metonymie. Ich spreche bisschen Deutsch, aber ich bin eine Germanophilie. Immer suchen ich Nachkriegszeit Deutsche Romane das rede nicht uber Hitler. Sie sind selten, aber mussen sie existieren. Denn benutzen Sie dieses Forum ausueben Ihre Englisch, Ich benutze dieses Forum ausueben Meine Deutsch.

Heyo and welcome to AF! ^_^

Berlin, eh? You lucky bastard! Big Grin I've been to Berlin only once, but it was a wonderful city.
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
