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)
One comment on the divinity of Jesus would be the *only* thing anyone thinks they know about him comes from a book. No credible books, no credible Jesus. Puts any alleged divinity in question to say the least.
In any case, welcome! The part about us having an overwhelming devilish desire to consume mass quantities of BBQ'd baby, beer and fiberglass insulation is absolutely true however.
