Hello!
January 31, 2016 at 8:22 pm
Hi! I'm a 15 year old atheist from Canada. I used to be a devoted Christian myself, though I stopped attending church a few years ago. I am now out of the closet as an atheist. My family is deeply religious, which makes things difficult. I live with my homophobic and sexist mother. Thankfully, the majority of my friends share my views, and are supportive of me.
Anyways, I like green tea, piano, swimming, Harry Potter, calligraphy, mint chocolate ice cream, reading, and Doctor Who. I don't have a particular genre of music that I enjoy, but I love Mozart and David Bowie. I play Ultimate Frisbee on our school team.
I joined this forum to meet more like-minded people, and I suppose as a way of coping with living with my religious family. Nice to meet you ^^

Welcome from Tennessee!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Welcome!
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Welcome, Esther!
I am also Canadian, and I also was raised in a devout Christian home, and also first left the church at about 15.
I'm female, and now almost 40.
I am also a Whovian, a fan of Bowie and Mozart;
and when the Goblet of Fire was first released (book, not movie),
I was working in a bookstore and we all dressed as our favourite character....
...despite being female, I went as Severus Snape.
I hope you enjoy your time here, and find it helpful.

Mark, that was funny!
When Aussies fly from Perth to Bali for holidays, they spend most of their time looking at Australia!
