New to Forum - Hello! My Name is Tino
September 13, 2012 at 8:58 am
Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum. I live on the east coast of USA, male, in my 50s, husband (25+ years), father (two girls), business owner, Rotarian, musician, atheist. I was raised Catholic but never took to it or believed much of it. I got more serious about atheism after 9/11/01. I like to discuss atheism, religion, politics and occasionally dabble in other topics.
I'm not particularly warm and cuddly in a forum setting. I like serious people. I like damaged people. I like immigrants. I consider myself to be a political conservative, pro-American, patriotic, pro-choice and comfortable with all sexualities.
I look forward to being part of this community.

Welcome to AF!
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

I like both kinds, rock and roll!
Just kidding, I like some of all types of music but as a guitar player I've mostly been into rock, jazz and bluegrass (flatpicking). How about you?

I think you will fit in nicely.
I'm a bit of a blues man, but my favourite band happens to be Cream, so I can get with the rock n roll shit pretty easily.
How long have you been playing guitar? I've been playing for about 12 years now, but I'm only 21.

Since I was a little kid, so 45+ years at this point. I love everything about guitars - shape, feel, sound, smell, look etc. I got to be technically proficient but never really good or talented, but it's always been a part of me.

Greetings from England old boy. And welcome to the forums.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
