I believe I had an account on here years ago, and was active for a few days, something like Twiggy95 or Twiggy1995. However I am unable to log into that, or even find them when searching for users here, and I was only able to recover this until today, unused account.

So, I am currently a 31 year old man, life-long atheist, Church of Satan Member, and practicing Satanist.

Though I am Canadian, I have a lot of respect for the late Madalyn Murray O'hair, and even David Silverman. However I do think modern day "American Atheists" have lost their way unfortunately, and I think Madalyn would not be pleased, to say the least.

Even though I was sent to the provincial catholic school system, went to church on Sundays until I was in my late teen's, and was raised in the heavily catholic Polish culture, I never believed, and was openly atheist since I was 12, and I guess was always atheist since I was old enough to understand what religion is and not believe in it, I only learnt what "atheist"/ism meant when I was 12.

I learnt about satanism through watching a documentary on my favorite artist, Marilyn Manson, from what I heard it intrigued me, so I went and learned more, bought and read the satanic bible, and found myself agreeing with it. Long story short, it's about being your own god, living for yourself, and your own life, taking responsibility of oneself and all that, living life to the fullest, etc. No supernatural or spiritual garbage, and it accepts man's true animal nature. You cannot be a satanist without first being an atheist, Theism is a deal-breaker for Satanism.

In 2017 I experienced the tragic death of my dog, when she was ran over, and last year in March the freak accidental death (tractor accident) of my father, in fact we did the internment of his ashes at the cemetery yesterday. None of these experiences change my view, none of them made me think there is an afterlife, or think irrationally, in fact they had the opposite effect, solidifying for me that shit is truly random, and its all up to chance, I don't even know if something like that could happen to me tomorrow? likely, not, but the chance is greater then 0.]]>

Parents sent me to a parochial school because it was an excellent school vs. the public schools in the area. Catholic students went to their catechism classes, the Jewish kids went to whatever they do, and the rest of us had "Bible study." Even in the first grade I listened to the big-boat tall tales and thought, This is bullshit.]]>

I was raised southern baptist.

I am existentially distraught to see christofascism still alive and well, and the average person pretending that anyone is entitled to false (and therefore deadly) beliefs.

Innocent people are dying for the lies others tell. Lies protect lies. I am glad to see communities like this one standing up for life and the truth that defines us all.

I worked as a web developer after graduating from a Missouri university in 2014. I am currently unemployed and deeply concerned about the state of the world.

You can learn more about me by following the links in my signature. If you have anything you would like me to read, highlight, or respond to in a video, let me know. I enjoy video games, music, and more, if I enjoy anything at all. Often I don't; my life has never been worth living, I have been suicidal for as long as I can remember. I remain here in suffering only because I am too scared to end it.

My abusive christian parents are to blame, but they scapegoat me for their violent mistakes. They believe they are going to heaven for hitting children, for psychologically torturing me, my brothers, and more. They are still spreading the abuse, no one is stopping them.

I hope to escape the bible belt soon, but options are limited. I am unsure whether I will survive this year.

More lives are being lost for selfish, stupid hate every single day. Love is honest. Please defend truth at all costs. Thank you for reading.

I've been lurking on these forums for a while but, for some reason, never thought of joining. However, I'm since I'm surrounded by devout theists on a daily basis (at work and at home), I've decided that joining these forums may be good for my sanity.

I was raised as a Pentecostal Christian but I am now an atheist doomed for the bowels of hell. I'm interested in sociology, philosophy, economics and enjoy reading science fiction, fantasy and historical fiction.]]>

Lemme tell you a bit about myself: I'm in my mid-to-late twenties, I run my own internet forum ("Introverts Unite"; cannot post direct link because of anti-advertising rule), and I like to do other crap on my computer...

I stay indoors like 99% of my day. I get disability checks for my autism because I can't function properly in a "normal" society at this point. Oh well.

Normal is pretty boring anyway. Weird is more interesting. Normal is predictable and no fun. Weird can be an exciting journey into an unexplored new territory.

But yeah. I hope you all welcome me here as apart of your forum.

Have a wonderful day. Thanks.]]>

Tried to become a Christian but it didn’t last if I felt anything at all. 1970s was a jesus moment I tried again to find happiness and contentment but that didn’t happen either.

I thought I was saved, having gone through the ritual of baptism and repentance, instead of happiness Christianity made me feel incomplete and a longing for understanding and enlightenment.

I got a glimpse of what I wanted in my life by using psychedelics for inner exploration and self awareness. Brain crashed and was diagnosed with borderline schizophrenia. Still searching for peace and contentment but not through drugs.

A lot of life went by, got married, had a family, two daughters. 30 yrs later, I overdosed on medication and herbal supplements and had what I thought was a spiritual awakening. It was near Easter, I disrobed turned on the shower and entered tub at front of curtain and exited at back of shower curtain. Symbolic of the resurrection, leaving the old self and given a new beginning.

After that, recovered started working part time while attending college. Graduated with honors and went on to get a bachelor’s degree in human services, working part time.

Played Christian for a while but this time church worship services I could see how manipulating the songs, the rituals and everything Christian services were devised to persuade people to believe their way. It was clear to me that religion was a gimmick to maintain order and control over society.

I’m seeing a therapist who suggested I find an online forum for atheist to help me overcome my conflicting past. So here I am.]]> I was brought up southern Baptist, my dad was a preacher.

I am LoneWolf, but the kind that does not bite your head completely off.

I am an atheist (as in : "I don't believe the stuff") of the curious kind and a senior citizen of Europe (and no that continent is not a joke Dodgy

). I believe in people when they deserve it. I believe that humanity is a phase that geologically and cosmologically is rather irrelevant. Still and in the meantime it's nice to enjoy what we can! A good discussion will not change the universe but it sure is a nice way to navigate spacetime.

Looking forward to getting to know you.]]>

Due to the ominous recent rise of religious fanaticism ,mainly from the USA I am glad to be a part of this forum.

The current regime of the USA, is allowing and condoning attacks on rational, empathetic and science minded people.

As a student of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and others (yes even Shakespeare),I am hoping to have some reasonable discussion with like minded individuals.

After a good amount of time not being happy with "modern" community platforms, and how they are managed, I got to looking for old school forums that focus on community and value vs. nonstop stock market growth.

Which landed me here. Howdy.

I'm so old I was on the Internet before AOL users were. And I used to run a phpbb based MMO gaming community - thus "coming home" here. It feels good to see places like this doing good.]]>
