I was a Christian for most of my life, up until about three years ago. I then started reading a lot of books on science, atheism, etc. I “came out” to my family about a year ago (all hard-core Christians) – it basically went okay, though I do notice a slight change in our relationship now. I guess part of that is probably because I am a fairly vocal atheist, so I have a hard time letting a lot of their comments slide.
Anyway, I just wanted to come on here and formally introduce myself, as I have had some questions lately that I would like to put out there and get everyone’s input. I look forward to participating here!
It's scary to think that there's all these invisible people lurking in the shadows, reading all the silliest crap that pops into my head. Thanks for making me feel so much more secure, new blood!
Only teasing. Great to have you aboard, pull up a theist and have a seat and a mug of whatever floats you.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
