Hello Everyone  ,
I hope everyone is well. I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and let you why I am here. I was out with my wife, best friend and her boyfriend. It was a good time until we
brought religion into the conversation. I am a atheist and my best friends boyfriend is a Muslim. In regards to the actual conversation I wont say much unless your interested. The point
here with no outlet for me to express my atheistic views I bombarded a liberal Muslim with intense and provoking comments. After getting home, my wife implored me to "take it down a notch" when I speak about my views because of my passion. I didn't burn any bridges, which is a good thing but I made a pact with myself to not bring up my non-theist views unless provoked. My hope is to be humbled by learning where others passion for atheism comes from. I would like to converse with many of you as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and be well.

Hey Banks! 
You'll find some good conversation here, and maybe, like I found, you won't even feel like your curbing your urge to jump down theist's throats when they spout inane bullshit in real life.
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

Hey Exian,
hahaha, I hope to find that as well. Thank you for the welcome.

Hello Rexbeccarox!!! 
So, I just received a PM from TheThinkingCatholic, warning me of my beliefs and what will happen to me after death. Their PM has only strengthened my atheism.
"My friend, if you are a professed “atheist,” I promise you that YOU WILL BELIEVE IN GOD after the very first 5 seconds of awakening in the horrifying flames of Hell. There are no atheists in Hell."
This is how you try to gain followers fear? This angers me to the core of my being. Fear is not the way to enlighten anyone.

Welcome, and enjoy your stay.

Welcome! Enjoy your flight. When over the lake of fire the captain will make an announcement.
Atheist belief is not a passion for me, just a way of life. I let a lot more other things get me worked up.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
