(March 5, 2013 at 1:43 pm)UNCgirl Wrote: Hi. My name is Sarah and I am in North Carolina. I was raised in a religious home. My dad was a preacher and my brother was as well. I went to religious schools as well as a religious college. I think I have always doubted religion but was always too afraid to admit it. I have been in serious doubt for the last 5 years and recently just "came out of the closet" as an atheist. I have not had many people give me a hard time except for when they ask me to "prove there is no god". My response to them is always "how can i prove something doesn't exist if you can't prove it does". That doesnt seem to work for them. Anyway, sorry for rambling on about this but just wanted to introduce myself.

I used to be a huge UNC basketball fan when Dean Smith was coach. Anywho nice to see a fellow atheist in the Tar Heel state. The south needs more godless heathens.

I'm not sure, but I rather suspect that references to cunnilingus are inappropriate in an introduction thread.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
