I must admit that I did not browse this forum one bit before registering and deciding to submit my introduction here. I hope that the community is great as I haven't done my research beforehand!
I was born in California to my father, an electrical engineer, and my mother, a stay-at-home-mom. Now I live in Indianapolis and am studying Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics.
I'm an atheist but have a very religious father and a very religious girlfriend. My father keeps his views to himself and remains very tolerant of the views of others. I wish to be the same way. My girlfriend on the other hand, does not seem to be so tolerant. At times, I feel that I will want to enjoy conversations that aren't interspersed with ludicrous affection for some imaginary being. My closest friends offer intellectual conversation, but it becomes addictive when you really get into it.
That is why I'm here. I hope to join you all in discussion topics, debates, what have you and hear your opinions on things that likely concern us all deeply.
Doug
Welcome.
As anywhere we have our share of theists, but benign and ridiculous. You'll see the ones I mean when you've explored the board enough.
Hope you enjoy the madhouse.
