I did because I have chubby fingers and I wanted to lose weight by typing every day.

So an official warning shows up. Does it sometimes go from 0 to 100% instantaneously?

It can, but not usually, except for socks and spammers.

I joined because I'm barking mad. Then they put me on staff. Go figure.

While I have friends who have been atheists their entire lives, I like this "community" here because I can gain objective opinions. And my friends and I, when we get together, we don't spend our time discussing our insights on atheism like we do here. This site has been such positive for me in many respects. {{{group hug}}}

Well, they say...the first step towards recovery, is admitting you have a problem.

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

Same reason the religious join a church, a sense of community and fellowship. Freethinkers need that too.

I sometimes wonder if there might be some value to a "Church of Reason: All the Fellowship and None of the Dogma". It could perform milestone of life rituals like marriage or funerals without attaching any supernatural meaning to them.

"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"

Since I am home a lot due to living on disability, I decided to join a forum. Every forum has a main topic, and I had a feeling atheism would turn up a laid back place for me to chill.
