Greatings from Sweden

Greatings from Sweden
Hello Atheist.

My name is Mathias and I live on the west coast of Sweden in a small town. (most of the towns are small in Sweden Wink I was brought up on a small island with majority of Christians (Baptists i believe), so many of my friends found jesus early on, I was lucky that non of my parents were believers so I could stand somewhat strong in this sects influences (even if I sometimes as the little kid i wondered why this jesus guy did not come into my life and made me feel that fantastic as promised). Luckily my parents divorced and I moved to the main land and I meet many other kinds of people and influences. To day many years later I have have grown my roots into electronic music and art. Always been a bit of a geek... I love science! And in academic terms i tried practical philosophy, psychology, sociology and geology (in that order Tongue) in search for understanding and work.

I have always been very naive in thinking people are much like me; have an open mind and trying to understand the opposite. But I have slowly wakened up to a world full of ignorant idiots. I have not lost my faith in humanity entirely, with the singularity approaching I think there is hope.

I am here cause I've recently come to realize that i rather define my self as atheist then an agnostic because of the problem arising when arguing with a child of Abraham, when you give them that little finger to grab, witch indulge them to think they got the higher stand, and it is not a good thing. I recently been thru a period of watching many videos with Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Lawrence M. Krauss. A couple of years ago a thought their approach was little harsh but I have come to realize that religion have played out its role and its time to move on for the benefit for the progress of humanity. So count me in.

I am more of a thinker then an writer (slow and bad grammar) so my involvement in the discussions will probably be short inlays but I hope I will contribute anyway.

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
