Hiyas, welcome

LOL i didn't revise this post would get so many replies (even if they all are about booty)..the ones who gave advice thank you, i am only just learning about atheism so I'm obviously no match to all of the religious people on that site...theres like 4 atheists and we constantly get attacked...i was banned 6 times just because i decided to speak up for atheists and against religion...i even made an innocent thread to try and educate people but they just banned me instead *shrugs*

and i couldn't think of a name, so i thought booty warrior would've been a funny one....LOL be mature guys

and thanks for welcoming me to the site...im learning a lot here

ps. i don't appreciate the guy who referred to me as a booty loving pirate.........im a booty loving human being thank you very much

also, pretend to be somali so they don't ban you or act uppity..thank you so much.

Welcome, TheBootywarrior. I know it's not easy to be a Somali atheist. I'm afraid my personal ethics won't allow me to pretend to be Somali, and I suppose a non-Somali atheists would not be welcome there.

I hope you'll decide to spend some time with us anyway.

I'm going to be a bit nosy, but don't feel obliged to answer any of my questions.

Do you live in Somalia now? If not, what country are you in?

Are you a clan Somali? If so, which clan? I have many friends from Somalia, but most of them are Bantu refugees, not ethnic Somali.

We have an ethnic Somali professor I have met a few times at the University of South Carolina, though: Dr. Garane Garane.

He was very helpful in relocating 22 refugee families from Somalia to Columbia SC.

Looking like this one is a one post wonder.

Yeah, probably so. Too bad, a Somali atheist is a rare breed. Likely a teenager though, and our forum can be a bit of a shark tank for people with undeveloped skills, so it might be just as well to throw him back and give him a chance to grow first.

thank you! and yes I'm going to stay as I'm learning a lot from you guys.

im a canadian who is half somali half syrian...never been to somalia or syria in my life. yea my dad is ethnic somali, my clan is darod. are you somali?

and yes as i said in my previous post..theres not too many of us..even on that site..just 4..and I'm 23 lol not a teen. and is what you mean by the last paragraph but I'm not a troll, just wanted someone educated to fight to explain atheism to them.

Hey you're still here! Nice

Once you're done with that, you'll try to figure out the people. And then you realize it's futile

I'm glad you came back. I'm going to give you a rep point just for defying my expectation that you would be a one-post wonder.

That's a clan with a lot of prominent Somali figures, including a president, a prime minister, and Hirsi Magan Isse, Ayaan Hirsi Ali's father (I picked that up from reading her biography, Infidel).

No, I'm not Somali, but I mentor some of the children of a group of Somali Bantu refugees that were relocated to Columbia SC back in 2004, mostly from Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya. So I've picked up more about Somalia than the average American bear. Only picked up about seven words of Maay-maay in all that time, though (yes, no, hello, goodbye, thank you, good, and hurry up).

Sorry for underestimating your age, I can tell from your second post that you're more mature than I originally thought. I hope to hear a lot from you in the future, TheBootyworrior (I spelled your name right this time).

It seems like everyone did get a lot of fun out of it, so mission for fun succeeded!

You're somalian... the stereotype comes with the territory. Obviously it's not necessarily true... but your 'the booty warrior' title more than 'kind of' works together with it. So... I'm sorry that it's not appreciated, but... it's kind of to be expected, what with the name, and all.
