Another Athiest Reporting In
Hi all, I am a 43 year old Englishman who has been an atheist for as long as I can remember. I have read the bible, loved some of it, was appalled by a lot of it, and found most of the rest of it to be incomprehensible. I am cool with the fact that I never existed for at least thirteen billion years before I was born, and am equally cool with the fact that I wont exist for however long the universe persists into the future after I die. I got one life, and that is enough for me. I love, and am loved in return, and have morals too. I like reading all sorts of things, from hard science fiction, to accounts of the naval battles of the Napoleonic wars. The next book I intend to read is Dante's Inferno, because I recently got an electronic copy of it as a part of a hundred classic books, and have long been intrigued by what the fuss is all about, and now is a good time to find out for myself.

I am a firm believer in evolution, science, and the concept of deep time. They have all been proven to my satisfaction. But I am more than willing to listen to the views of others who do not necessarily with me, that is why I joined here in the first place.

Well, that's it, hello again.

Hello there fellow Englishman and atheist.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Welcome, sir! Glad to you finally made it.

Side note: Any one besides me notice that the new atheist members of this forum can properly put sentences together, and all the new theists... barely, if at all?

Welcome. 'Inferno' is very interesting but it turns out to be more of a political statement than a religious one.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
