Vice-President Biden recommends firing a shotgun in the air.

Ha! That would certainly be effective! Though I'd wager you would want to sit and chat for a bit, am I right?

Well, I am an ex-mormon turned Atheist. Welcome to the forums; I won't promise that I'll play nice. I think Min is doing a great job with you already...carry on boys.

Nice to meet you, BadWriterSparty! Is it okay if I ask what your reasons for leaving the Church were?

I think I understand why you're an Atheist now though. I think I would be too if I ever came to the conclusion that Mormonism was wrong...I mean, nothing else could possibly be right, as the LDS Church certainly shows how it's an all or nothing deal.

Obviously you don't know our Min very well yet.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'd appreciate it if you didn't assume this kind of bullshit about me. You may seem like a nice guy on the surface, but your reason for being here is the same as all the other Xians who show up spouting their bullshit and assumptions.

The reason I'm an Atheist is because of doubt, not because it's either the Mormon Church or no Church at all. The Mormon Church was easily falsifiable, what with the Kinderhook plates, the Book of Abraham, and DNA testing of the American Inidans. Joseph Smith was a con artist through and through. No...the journey out of Mormonism was a long one, but realizing it was all bullshit was fairly simple. I'm an Atheist because I'm a skeptic, and I don't rely on something as foolhardy as faith. Faith is a bred killer, and it's the genocidal kind.

So nice to meet you too and all that.

I think I'll just boil your response down to this one line and then just go from here with you. How about that? Big Grin

We'll see how it goes from here. I have my doubts, as I should.

Back when I lived in Virginia the mormon guys would always come talk to me. Most of the times we wouldn't even talk about religion. But when the senior guy left, and the new guy showed up, the new senior guy would bring him by and we would just hang out and talk about random stuff for an hour or so. It was kind of amusing to me. They always brought the new guy by to meet me.

Since I moved to Texas I see those guys riding around on bicycles around my neighborhood. But they never seem to come into my cul-de-sac to come talk to me. Not once. Even though I've been watching those guys riding around here for 6 years.

Why you no come talk to me!

Welcome, Peter.

How silly of those youngsters! Hey, Rahul, I'll certainly talk to you. It doesn't even have to be about religion, if you want.
