First time poster, long time lurker. I've been a gnostic atheist for the past 4.5 years. I was a christian (pentecostal) and now am free from the glorified delusion which is religious faith. Hope I like it here and make some friends, too Big Grin

Welcome.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Howdy, FiGD. We have many European posters who would not know a pentecostal from any other branch of jesus-driven fuckwittery so, to help them see what you escaped from......







Unfortunately, this also proves that white people can't dance for shit......

Well I don't claim to have absolute certainty of anything - but when it comes to gods I'd say 99.98% certainty. So - damn near close. But I would discuss this on another thread.Cool Shades

And thanks everybody for the greetings. I appreciate it.Smile

Just to note that knowledge and certainty are not the same. But, I suppose if one were 100% certain, they would also claim to "know" would they not?
