Hello Everyone.

Hello, just found this site and because it has some nice looks and some interesting philosophy threads I registered.I'm 15 years old,and I'm coming from an strong atheist family,I read lots of books on atheism,science,nature and philosophy. And I'm always looking into increasing my knowledge,so I will ask lots of questions if you dont mind,also excuse my english,sometimes you will find mistakes in my writings so pleas correct me,if you will see any
Hope that we will have some nice debates here
Kind regards H.Sapiens

I love it when the kids show up. Gives me hope for a future free of religious stupidity.

Well I'm mostly different than the kids my age,all they can think about are parties,sex,drugs,and other mainstream things. For being an individualist I'm mostly looked at as a strange guy,because i dont like thinks the mainstream does,like i listen to jazz and classico. They listen to skrillex and other nonsense,... you get where I'm going.
But I ignore this,by simply meditating,dealing with extreme sports,...
But I'm looking forward to high school,because I could meet some different people there.

Anyway, welcome!

Sigh....you'll probably end up saying the same thing about college.

I'm old enough now to find myself using phrases such as "that's just noise, you can't even understand the words!" and "I don't mind a tune you can dance to!", just like I promised my young teen self I would never, ever do. Still, fifteen is (in my experience at least) about the age when claptrap of any kind, not just religious, tends not to stick anymore the way it might have done say five years earlier. You seem to have your head screwed on and know how to express yourself and your thoughts etc, which is what counts pretty majorly around here. Dunno if you've had a look around but watch out for our resident nutters - ok, I'm one of them but at least I'm on the right side!
You'll fit in just fine and I look forward to seeing how you handle our, shall we say, more credulous members.
Oh, and keep that bloody noise down!

I'm an old dyslexic so I won't be able to help with the spelling, just the odd laugh.

(PS somebody put on a recent post dyslexics never spell dyslexia wrong, it would have been on this post if it was not for spell-check.)

I see your video, jon, and raise you this arm:

Incidentally, re: dyslexia - I'm sure it's more than a coincidence that it's an anagram of "daily sex".
Just like when working for the State Pensions department of the DWP, I realised that "pension" anagrams to "no penis".
