My name is Joe and I have been reading some of the works by Dawkins and Hitchens and have been working on developing a greater understanding of my freedom from religious tyranny. I have, in the past, been involved in fundamental religious belief systems and studied the bible obsessively. I know that end of the spectrum pretty well. It's only recently, after stumbling upon some of the interviews with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, that I have decided that I need to rid my self of the iron yoke of superstition and breathe freely as a non believer of doctrines that do nothing for the human experience. I am grateful to be able to find a forum to be able to expand my convictions as I step further away from the conditioning I endured as a child on into adulthood. Please understand that I am new and have much to learn, and unlearn. Thank you for acceptance to this forum.

Greetings OP!

As for acceptance, yous gotta earn yo cred!

That should have been enough to put you on the right path.

Welcome.

Enjoy the journey Joe.

I did a pulled pork and a chuck roast (for pulled beef) in my smoker over the weekend. About 20lbs of meat in one go. Plenty to freeze for later.

What's your specialty BBQ-wise?

MEAN


BBQ

Welcome.

Babyque will be held later.

Glad you've found a way out of superstition. I know the transformation can be difficult, especially from fundamentalist religion.

I recommend watching some of the Thinking Atheist podcasts on YouTube. SOme of them are very informative and helpful.
