Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!
Hello there atheist forums, I'm Valdyr. An efficient way to introduce myself would be to say that I'm everything the religious right despises; a leftist, an atheist, and gay.

On the more detailed front, I would consider myself an "old atheist" rather than a "new atheist," in that I am against scientism and am not a naturalist (at least the sort of naturalism espoused by most English-speaking thinkers). My academic specialty is philosophy, though I am also interested in political and social theory, sociology, economics, history, and physics.

Anyway, it's difficult to find good discussions on the internet, so I feel good having found this site, and I hope to enjoy my time here.

Welcome!

But unless your ass is darker than khaki, you haven't completed my conservative father's trifecta. Tongue

There is certainly discussion here. Whether it's good or not remains to be seen...

RE: Hello everyone!
Nice to meet you.

With a focus on philosophy instead of science will be very interesting. I've recently rediscovered a love for philosophy, so I particularly look forward to your take on things.

I joined for the same reason you did, and quite recently. I was struggling to find discussions which avoided mindless headbutting of assertions, and a community that can discuss topics without mindlessly taking offence because someone disagrees with you.

Look forward to your comments.
