Devil Hmmmmmm lets see how long it takes to break you
Atheism is a non-prophet organisation. - A dusty old book that I found that must be completely true because someone wrote it down.

RE: Hi there!
I don't want to break him but showing up here and proudly announcing that he's Serbian and a member of the Serbian Orthodox church I was just kind of wondering if maybe he though we expected him to be a Rastafarian?

We get muslims, mormons, baptist assholes, an occasional jew - although they are usually pretty cool about this nonsense, and plenty of catholics.

Do you know what they all have in common. They think their religion is the ONLY RIGHT ONE because ( TA-DA) its the one they had shoved down their throats since childhood.

So many people simply cannot see that their devotion to any religion is merely an accident of geography.

RE: Hi there!
Ever the optimist,I'm perfectly willing to welcome yet another theist. I won't even insult him or say mean things because that makes Tiberius cross. I'm still traumatised from last time Undecided

So, hi there Serbian person, and welcome from Adelaide South Australia.


Welcome

Hi there! We've had some slightly deranged theists demanding the end of the world recently, so forgive us our initial wariness.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?

RE: Hi there!
Welcome to the forums! Please proceed to the De-indoctrination chamber, where you will be subjected to a rigorous mental awakening procedure involving reading Christopher Hitchens, watching Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking documentaries on the universe, enjoying Religulous, and finding that picking apart the bible will yield it is not so easy to reconcile with humanity and morality! Afterwards we will proceed to welcome you into the realm of reason with a time honored chant...

One of us, one of us...

It points out that the belief you hold is down to where you live and how you were brought up.

Can you not see the significance of that?

Welcome anyways.

No, it's okay. I'm aware of it. I know that, if I had been born in Iraq I would be a Muslim. But, I always try not to be a believer just because I was born in society where Orthodoxy was dominant.

Well, I believe that my faith is true, but I also think that you can find God beyond my Church.

It's not a problem. I understand.
