Hello. I'm an Atheist who decided today to join these forums. I was raised strictly Agnostic. You may ask what I mean- I do not mean that I was not allowed to have a religion, rather that my parents did not fully understand
Atheism, nor the fact that the correct term for me would be "Agnostic Atheist". The first time I mentioned Atheism, my dad told me rather seriously "not to get into that Satan worshiping crap", giving one a fair idea he did not have much common sense. But, throughout my childhood, I was able to gain a large amount of Atheist and religious friends, even deconverting a Christian friend of mine at the age of 12. I always love to hold a good discussion or argue. Though, I would like to avoid political debate, which almost always ends in hostilities. Also, Norse paganism is the best religion ever, although I am sadly not able to believe in it if I wish to continue thinking logically.

The true beauty of a self-inquiring sentient universe is lost on those who elect to walk the intellectually vacuous path of comfortable paranoid fantasies.
