Thank you
A little advice. Not a good idea on any board no matter the side you are on, to post e mails in your first post. No one is going to ban you off the bat, but we see this all the time and it throws up red flags.
Whatever you want to debate, you can do here in the open. Atheists are not lost sheep or pets for you to pick off like a antelope calf in a herd.
But if you are really interested, start by accepting this.
"Atheist" is not a club, or moral code. It is merely "off" on the issue of all god claims. It is not a political party, it is not a religion, it is not a loyalty oath. It merely means "off", on god claims.
Atheists come from all backgrounds and classes. We are diverse in our education levels and economic views, and there are atheists in every nation in the world to bigger or lesser degrees. We are your neighbors, co workers, friends and even family. We are no different than believers other than not holding a god belief. We have the same ups and downs in life, and feel the same joy and pain. We simply do not assign any of that to any god by any name, not just yours.
