Introducing Me!
January 4, 2012 at 3:49 am
(This post was last modified: January 4, 2012 at 4:00 am by Atharonis.)
Hello! I am Atharonis. I have been an Atheist for 5 years and I do not intend to change. Of course, even though the possibilities of there being an omniscient and all-powerful spirit are slim and there is no actual proof that a god-like being exists, I have not ruled out the small chance that something like that could exist (hehe. ya right). In the meantime, I'm not busy worshipping a book written by an ancient person and devoting myself to a lie. Children don't want to hear that the Tooth Fairy doesn't take their teeth and gives them money just like Theists don't want to hear that God isn't watching over them and doesn't have reasons for why he makes good and bad things happen. Personally, I think that even though the truth can hurt, it's better than a lie.
Well, that's all I have to say about that... so again, hello!

Welcome, Arther.
I know what you mean about the tooth fairy though. She's kind of a bitch just like that cocktease tinkerbell.
Oh well. You're all just figments of my imagination anyway, so welcome to the forums because I can't imagine anything more exciting for us to do right now.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Hello Arthar, I like your head.
The way your horn/projection thing forms such a stylish arc.
You'd have to have your hats customised but that's doable.
Anyway, welcome.

Welcome, your thinking is similar to my thinking (it would appear).
