nother newbie

[Purple Rabbit]

Hi there,

My name is Sean, a newbie on this forum. Although I guess I have been an Atheist for well over 10 years, just didn't care too much to discuss it till recently.

I come from a Catholic family, so my background is probably familiar to many here. Gave up on the church whilst in my teens and sort of made my mind up shortly after.

Welcome Northerner.

But beware, in discussion with theists I have found that a religious background does not the least grant you any expertise on the phenomenon of believing from first person experience. Only the ones who still sell their poor souls to the supernatural charade can truly account of this.
