Atheistic Muslim
January 31, 2009 at 6:52 pm (This post was last modified: January 31, 2009 at 6:54 pm by GSARider.)
Hi ladies & gents, I'm based in Kent in the UK. Over the past ten years I've struggled with the idea of religion and decided it was totally nonsensical about two years back.

I was brought up muslim, but I guess I never really 'understood'. I recall getting into trouble many times when I was young, for asking questions that no one wanted to answer - such as why was I being taught to read the Koran in Arabic, without actually being taught the meaning of the words...Thinking

Anyhow I'm most definitely a practising biker and rather fervent on the subject, however I'm not judgemental about you lesser mortals that use four wheels...Big Grin

Welcome to the forum GSARider. It is nice to have some more different views on Islam, preferably by someone who did more than just look at the Koran like me.
Best regards,

I am presuming here that you are a lot younger than me....most people are, sadly.
But I was a mod in the 60's, had a scooter, LI 150 c/w mirrors, fur etc.etc. and as a mod I had to fight bikers! That wasn't clearly explained either!
Anyway, welcome to the forum.

Perhaps a tad younger at 41...the mods vs rockers thing still lingers...mostly by ignoring scooters if you're a biker and vice versa...!

Thanks for the welcome.

Hey there! Maybe I'll learn a bit about Islam from you while you're here. I don't know much about it so, it's very interesting for me.

Anyways welcome to our little home!

Anyway you are in good company with other british that are members here, seems like most athesit come from there. Must be the dull weather that make everyone so philosophical (if that's correctly spelled). Tongue
