I'm studying Philosophy and Religion at college. I love it. I am building up some courage to tell my super christian family that I am atheist. Currently I am reading the Qur'an and adding in notes from the skeptic's annotated Qur'an and different websites. It's fun. If you know any good reading for that let me know. Thank you.
Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission and rip the tags off of your mattress.
Oh and as an aside, I love Sam Harris but he calls himself a "spiritual" atheist too. I personally hate that terminology. What is wrong with simply saying "I have a sense of awe and wonder about life and nature". The word "spiritual" is rooted in superstition and mythology and trying to water it down to a secular version to me is excess baggage.
Nice welcome hey? Anywho, enjoy.
