Yes, I am on a mission from God……
No, no particular mission here; I probably had an introduction thread when I got on here a few years ago. I just enjoy the discourse on here, the moderators don’t overly moderate the board but they do enough to keep things moving along. I enjoy talking with atheists far more than I do with most Christians (a lot of Christians can be rather phony, and I just prefer how genuine for the most part posters are on here). I also find atheism itself to be incredibly interesting; they’re interesting people with interesting views on pretty much everything. What’s your story?
I heard there would be drugs and sex if I joined up as an atheist. Nothing yet.
Seriously this is a lively place with many interesting points of view and characters. I don't really have a problem with theists though I do find the idea of a personal god as popularly conceived easy to dismiss. But maybe there is room for something pretty special within the dynamics of the self/consciousness/soul/what-have-you. I don't think anything there gets you to an afterlife nor of course would it have any part in 'creation'.
No evidence of course. So that puts me in the same position as theists and perhaps that's why I have some empathy for your position.
