RE: HEY GUYZ
Yup, like my avatar(that I just stole from the same site you did). Originally got it from Inuit mythology, but being an astronomy geek, I embrace 90377 Sedna as well ^_^

Welcome Sedna

I know of the Inuit story. So just where in 'murrica are you from and do you have any Inuit connections?

Well, I'm 18 years old from 'murrica. I left Christianity young after never really believing it for any reason other than fear of hell(as much I'd like to think I've grown past it, I still have that irrational fear of hell to some extent). After that, I first just accepted my atheism. But being my youth, I soon went on to try out new religions. I realized one after another that each religion has it's own way of trying to control me- especially since I'm a woman and have an atypical sexuality- and I'm just not so fond of that. This on top of the whole "let's deny facts" charade. I turned a sort of believe-whatever theist for a short time, but I really became atheist when a while back watching the Atheist Experience(I've been a fan since I was young and even in my religious phases). Matt said something to a caller about how he cares about believing what is true. That really struck me and made me need to rethink my beliefs. And thus, here I am.
I guess that little story should have went in the convert's corner, no? Oh well.

Hmmm... well I've said enough. So yeah... Hi! Tongue
If you want to have a frank discussion about sexuality, I'm all for it. My views are somewhat conservative, but I don't feel I need to or should force them onto others, but with that said being Xian means we need to repent from sin. I know a number of people who do not do this, despite calling themselves Xian. Their sins vary, and no matter what it is they will always find a way to excuse it.

Anyway, I do have much better friends than that now. Big Grin

I'm from Michigan. And no, I've just always been interested since I was young.

Just keep thinking rationally, this will pass in a short time.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
