Speakeasy
Please try not to be intimidated by the bluff and bluster.
It's arguably true that the average member here is a lot brighter than say the average member on most theist forums. But then, so is Mimi,my obnoxious toy poodle. Most of us are pretty ordinary, with a few startling exceptions;I'm not one of them.
My perception is that people on atheist and free thinker forums often seem a lot brighter than we are because we actually use the brains we have. By that I mean most of us have mastered independent thinking,will question ANYTHING, consciously try to be open minded,and sometimes even say "I don't know" when we don't know. The more evolved among us (usually) decline to take ourselves seriously. (I'm working on it)
Please,do not mistake criticism of something you say as a personal attack. Personal insults are not allowed.
Please do hang around,just be yourself,and have some fun.--this only an internet forum.;albeit one of the better ones.
