Hello! Nice to meet someone from Iraq!

On behalf of 'Murrica... Sorry. We don't like George Bush either. And I personally think Dick Cheney should be tried as a war criminal.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

And on behalf of the UK - sorry as well. Many of us feel the same way about that shit Blair, and most of his cabinet to boot.

Either way, welcome to AF, and I hope you are keeping safe and well. Welcome

Hello Hisham! Welcome. It's always refreshing to hear of some sanity coming from that part of the world.

So what made you become an atheist?
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
