Hello
Hello everyone,

I suppose I've always been an atheist. I used to go to a convent school when I was little but I stopped believing in god around the time I stopped believing in Santa and the Tooth Fairy. Mainly for the same reasons, although I must admit I find the concept of god even sillier and I have a real dislike of religion (compared to Santa) because it (or the arguments put forth) seems to be nothing more than an argument for ignorance and stupidity to me... not that I claim to be clever or anything like that.

Over the years I've noticed more and more religious nuts on the net and I've spent a fair amount of time arguing with them, I do know it's generally pointless, so I thought I would join an atheist forum and speak to some like minded people for a change instead.

Anyway, I look forward to having many interesting conversations with you all.

Thank you, I probably should've said I'm from the UK in my earlier post too.

Oh, we have them here too, but they are fun. And we have atheist nuts too. We are a glorious snack bag of nuts.

Welcome, hopefully you'll enjoy your stay! Smile
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
