Hello
July 6, 2012 at 4:00 pm
My name is Alex. I'm not a real atheist, I'm more in the "I Don't Know What To Believe" phase. I don't live in a conservative, strict family; my parents are Christians. We rarely go to church and have very liberal views, but still consider ourselves Christians. Not me, I'm starting to question everything. That's why I'm here - I won't be able to discuss controversial questions with fellow Christians. As you know, they can be a bit...close-minded.
A little more information about me: 18 years old, fluent in 3 languages, musician (I play the piano and guitar), very tolerant of all races, sexual orientations and religions.

Welcome!
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Welcome, Staccato. It's better to be curious and question everything instead of being a close-minded believer (in my opinion).

You haz proof? 
And you should have said welcome to the new member since you posted here instead of talking about liking me.  But thanks.

Hi Staccato! Out of curiosity, which three languages are you fluent in?
Oh, and of course, welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
