Just wanted to chime in and say "Hello". I've been lurking around the forum for a couple of days and really liked what I saw! It's nice to have a place to chat with like-minded individuals especially since I live in the bible belt...sigh. A little about myself; I'm a 36yo male in sunny (if not thermally oppressive) Florida. I've been an atheist for about 20 years. For now, I am married to a beautiful women and we have two children. We don't necessarily share similar views on faith, or a lot of other things for that matter. If I had to put a label on her it would be "Southern Belle Agnostic". She doesn't know what to believe, but she doesn't want anyone to know that either...sheesh. The public school system is so bad here, my children actually attend Christian school. I like dropping them off in the moring with Ozzy blaring through the speakers! I was raised Catholic by default but never forced to attend. I tried to attain whatever it is people of faith feel, but never quite "got it". I guess I have my priest (and the Discovery Channel) to thank for my being atheist, but probably not in a way anyone could have guessed. I really hope to enjoy my time here and look forward to many meaningful discussions!
