It's definately not for the sunny disposition.. with the exception of Sae. I do feel a bit masochistic at times here, but all in all worth it.
I came here orignially to understand atheism, agnosticism since I have no real friends who believe like that who'd I'd welcome in my house ( mainly due to temperment and manners around my children- not intellectual dissent). I actually used to hang out quote regularly with a large group of them every week. I prefer for it to come from actual atheists intent on discussion rather than theists belief of said group. I had some questions on another forum I wasn't allowed to ask because they did away with their controversial section, so I came here. This looked like the most open-minded and patient group of forums I looked into, which allowed free expression yet control. I came I got beat up a bit, learned some stuff, shared some stuff, came to like it. There's quite a few people on here I have come to respect and admire. I stay in the hopes to continue to learn more, share more, develop good online relationships with intellegent, rational and open minded individuals.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
