Hi there, Andy here, you may refer to me as Hoopington, Hoopy or Hoopmeister, whichever you prefer.
I've been reading the boards for a while now, found them really informative and, rather than sitting on the sidelines and being the voyeur, thought 'd join up and contribute.
A little about me, English, mid-30's, devastatingly handsome and an unashamed Dawkins/Hitchens fan. I grew up CofE, went to church whilst at School, believed as a kid, but it was never forced on me. Early to mid teens was the period when I first started to question what I'd been told. I attended an "Alpha-Course" on the recommendation of a Christian friend who wanted to save my soul. I was in my early 20's and, far from the course converting me, it merely served to cement my scepticism and from then on my "belief" was Atheist on any form I had to fill out.
Thanks for reading, I look forward to infuriating and amusing you all.
