My name is Joe and I have been reading some of the works by Dawkins and Hitchens and have been working on developing a greater understanding of my freedom from religious tyranny. I have, in the past, been involved in fundamental religious belief systems and studied the bible obsessively. I know that end of the spectrum pretty well. It's only recently, after stumbling upon some of the interviews with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens, that I have decided that I need to rid my self of the iron yoke of superstition and breathe freely as a non believer of doctrines that do nothing for the human experience. I am grateful to be able to find a forum to be able to expand my convictions as I step further away from the conditioning I endured as a child on into adulthood. Please understand that I am new and have much to learn, and unlearn. Thank you for acceptance to this forum.
