Hi, I'm new here as of within the past few minutes. How I've longed to find a board like this one! Maybe I'll be (re)Born on the 4th of July - which is today.
I'm 66 and have been a non-believer since around age 5. At least. The other kids said "god" and I said "Godzilla" (well, it was the 50s). Was a catlicker for a few years in the late teens. I used to walk a friend up to Confession and was mightily impressed by the beauty of the stained glass and burning candles. It took a few years to wear off but when it did, gradually, it was gone for good.
For over 10 years I loved to go to Landover Baptist (satire web site that goofs on religion by pretending to be Holier-than-thou) and was even Moderator at the time I quit in 2011. I miss it but the people who run it now are as tight and harsh as religion itself. Sleazy, too, in the private section for Moderators only. I went to a British website for a while and they are cool, but it didn't really click for me....
Can't say I'm a happy person in general. My refusal to bow to religion has made me live in poverty and has caused me to now dislike people in general. Especially the developer who moved in across the way and has gotten busy. With the weenie kid and Hummer-driving wife. But I'm here at A.F. mainly to have fun by knocking religion while being dead serious at times if I feel the need to. I'm only dogmatic about a couple of things with one being religion and one other...developers. So I hope we can all have a really good time. Cool - you even have a Shoutbox!
Oh yeah, that stuff. I was born in Flushing (Queens County) New York on April 27, 1950. I've moved about 60 times in my life since, mainly when one place got too bad. Too many "low rent" places where everything is low but the rent. Have also lived in Southern California, Florida and Tennessee and now have landed up in Northeast Pennsylvania. Ah, Pennsylvania: I think of it as "Tennessee of the North." I live alone with my 3 wonderful pet rats. Retired, I love to read and do crosswords and sit in the sun. Have worked at everything from packing eggs to high-school secretary.
For years now I've been isolated with no friends or family or even an email buddy. So if you like to have a laugh knocking religion or whatever else you like to write about, as long as you're a non-believer - please do write to me!
