My name is Divinity, and I'm 40 something years old, and I'm a believer in god, but not a believer in religion. I think all those religious texts are full of nonsense. I wouldn't so much say I defy labels, as I just have no freaking clue what label fits me. I believe in the divinity of Jesus, but I don't believe that everything written about him that he supposedly said was actually said by him. I have five grown children who are all atheists. I don't believe any of the ridiculous things some believers think about atheists (There's good atheists, and bad atheists, etc..) Most Christian communities are like talking to... sheep. All I hear is bah bah bah. So I decided to to join an Atheist community. I'm not here to convert people. I don't believe that non-belief in god is something that sends you to hell. I admit that such an idea is pretty stupid, and very much reminiscent of a con artists ploy to religion (and part of why I don't believe in religion)
