Hey I'm super new to this forum (stumbled across it like 15 minutes ago) but I have been looking for a place just like this. Actually what I was looking for on Google initially was some sort of hotline where I could call and speak to an atheist but I only found one of those and nobody answered. Furthermore I thought it unlikely that I would be able to speak to someone who would be able to address my specific needs. What I would like is someone to talk to/argue with regarding atheism.
While procrastinating for some work that I needed to get done I went off on a youtube frenzy, watching videos which I thought would be interesting in the recommended list. I came across this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNjEbPfc2d0 and had a number of issues. Bottom line is that I kept on trying to respond to the guy in the video but obviously I couldn't, and seeing as how the video had like 300k views it is unlikely that any comment would be answered by the video maker. After watching the video I started searching google for an atheist hotline with which I could speak to an informed atheist. No luck with that, and that is why I am here.
So I would like to argue with someone one on one (if we did this on the forum then too many people would get involved and it would get too confusing) via gchat or some other medium. If this is against the forum rules then please let me know before I get some sort of an infraction. So anyways, if anyone is interested then please private message me your contact details (email address or skype ID or something of the sort).
Here is a description of the type of person I am looking for:
-Atheist/Agnostic
-Someone that is not afraid to say things the way they are, but at the same time not rude. I'd like it to be a polite discussion without any immature name-calling etc.
-Someone that will not be overly offensive to my religion (Islam). For example someone that would not call my prophet a pedophile or something for no reason. In other words someone that is relatively respectful.
-Someone well informed about Sunni Islam
-Preferably but not necessarily someone that is similar to me in that he or she is relatively good at math and computer science (I just think that it would be easier if we both think in the same way)
-Someone that likes (or loves) to argue
So if you think that you meet the above description then please private message me or if you don't care about giving out that info publicly then please post in this thread your contact details. Thanks.
