Why did you come to this board?
#44
RE: Why did you come to this board?
I answered this question pretty much in another thread recently, so I'll copy across what I wrote:

Off the top of my head, these are why I come here. Not in any particular order.

1- I want to support atheists everywhere in the world, as I'm painfully aware how much harder they have it than me (I don't have it hard at all).

2- I want to highlight the harm religion and indoctrination does.

3- I'm trying to promote critical thinking. I'm not trying to get everyone to agree with, I simply want them to stop, think and really evaluate their beliefs.

4- I want to send my thoughts out so that all the people reading the forum who don't sign up may hopefully benefit from them. The people who benefit the most from the forum, in that regard, will be these people most likely.

5- I want to help lift the taboo about criticising and mocking religion. No ideas should be immune. I hope to promote the idea that holding your beliefs as your identity is a problem.

6- I want to show that atheists are just people and not the demented straw men we often get portrayed as.

7- It's a lot of fun ripping into religion! I firmly believe that showing how easily something can be made to look stupid is itself a form of valid criticism.

8- I want to meet like minded individuals who understand how I feel about it all.

9- I want to make friends.

10- This is an outlet for a subject I feel very passionate about but don't have hardly anyone to talk to about in real life.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
