Hi.

Hi.
Hello. I'm new and very interested in this community. I'm a 13-year old girl who was raised Catholic, but am agnostic. I arrived at this point through lots of reading, as I have always loved reading and been fairly good at it. Reading exposed me to different viewpoints and I like to think that it help to teach me how to think. I consider myself open-minded and able to change my opinion, if a better opinion, supported by facts, is presented to me. I suppose you'll see me in forums, and I look forward to seeing you.

Hi, I'm a former catholic too. Must have been at your age when I didn't care about religion anymore.

I gave up church when I was 13 too, dear. That was a long time ago.
Welcome into the light.

Hi Roxy, nice to meet you Smile You'll get no argument from us atheists! I'm impressed that you were able to see through it at your age.
Feel free to send me a private message.

Welcome. I gave up religion (UU) in my late twenties. Nice to be free. What part of the world are you in, if we may ask?

RE: Hi.
Again, welcome! Smile
And congratulations for deconverting that soon.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
