Actually, that's the main reason I'm going there!! I freakin HATE the insanely hot weather over here!! I'd definitely choose the wet fridge over the dusty oven. Big Grin

Normally I quip with a cornball line to welcome people, but it is rare an atheist website gets an x-Muslim unless they are going to a website with a focus for x-Muslims.

Cool, now you join the ranks of Ayaan Hersi Ali, and she is one woman I am proud to call hero. If you have not read "Infidel" by her, do so, a very worthy read.

And Allah Chocolate Bar buddy!

Hey Brian,

I actually did, and I salute her for her courage. I wish I could be as courageous.

Hehe. In Bengali (which is my language), mota means fat.

Welcome to the forum, Mota.

Me too, that is the other thing about men in our species I hate. It is always the man that has to be physically brave and always be the hero, but we cant and are not allowed to admit weakness and far too many men think women should not lead men or be heros to men.

I am a physical whimp and I am not ashamed of it. I have no fear of an intellectual battle though, but I don't physically fight anyone and hate morons who do over anything, sports or religion.

Gender roles suck and our species would do much better accepting the diversity in women and in men.

Welcome to the forum, mota. I always admire a story of so-called apostasy. It's a brave thing to do, even in secret.

Welcome to the site, Mota. I wish you well in all your endeavors, and look forward to reading whatever you have to say. Cheers!
