Just wanted to introduce myself and mention how enlightening I am finding these forums....
I de-converted from Xianity not too long ago, and I am happy I left the church....
I have not felt this free, and happy in a long time....
The hardest part is getting out of the closet and letting my family and loved ones know, especially since I am an African Female....
Hopefully, I will be able to find some threads where people have shared their "getting out of the closet" experiences.....

Have a good one everyone... Love

Welcome, my queen. I hope you like it here.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

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

Welcome! From a new atheist as well. I am in the bible belt, I am selective who I tell. It does get easier though. You are right about being happier!

Yay! Another one for the bad guys. Welcome, lovely lady.
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
