I ride around, no gimmicks.

I ride around, no gimmicks.
I'm not one for snazzy introductions, and hopefully that isn't how y'all accept me into your tribe. But, let's just establish that I'm an Atheist (go figure), I'm 16, and I'm a strong advocate against Mitt Romney's idea of turning off PBS.

I've been an Atheist since I was about 7, or something like that. I never really believed in a God, of any sort.

I've been accused of supporting the Nazi's in public school due to me being Atheist, mainly by a bigoted teacher.

I support the legalization of Marijuana, from the information that has been presented to me, but I'm always open to see any evidence to re-position my stance on it, and for the sake of my mother, that would make her day. But she would also like me to worship her God, but that's never going to happen.

Finally, I ride around...no gimmicks.

There's this misconception out there that Hitler and the Nazis were atheists, but Hitler actually talks about 'doing the lord's work' in some of his speeches. Now why would an atheist do that...Wink

Well, I'm sure the moment he said that he was doing the "lord's" work, he established that it was partly a religious movement. I've never heard of anyone that killed in the name of Atheism...

This is not Twitter, you know.. Tongue
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

greetings from a german, fashist movements came to be in catholic germany - mainly bavaria. fashism also found it`s strongest supporters outside of germany within catholic europe; croatia and hungary are especialy grusome examples.
Tell your teacher he shouldn`t lie about germans when you can ask a german!

I would find that a sackable offence in any school I've been to.

I was going to welcome you to the forum, but my 6' tall invisible bunny named Harvey says not to.

Oh, and I don't like you. (Harvey said to pass that along as well.)

Sorry.


"Harvey's rules."





(Btw, Hitler was making religious references in Mein Kampf, long before there was a Nazism in which to be atheistic.)
