Hi. My name is Sarah and I am in North Carolina. I was raised in a religious home. My dad was a preacher and my brother was as well. I went to religious schools as well as a religious college. I think I have always doubted religion but was always too afraid to admit it. I have been in serious doubt for the last 5 years and recently just "came out of the closet" as an atheist. I have not had many people give me a hard time except for when they ask me to "prove there is no god". My response to them is always "how can i prove something doesn't exist if you can't prove it does". That doesnt seem to work for them. Anyway, sorry for rambling on about this but just wanted to introduce myself.

New here and new to atheism

Welcome aboard!
Welcome, you could just shout into the sky asking for lightning. Worked for me once or twice in secondary school. Mostly because they don't want to continue associating with the crazy person shouting at the sky in a crowded place. I wish I was more like that these days
Welcome.

Nothing wrong with a rambler. (Aside from the shitty design, crap looks, and terrible reliability. My family had a Rambler for about four months. It was one of the butt ugliest cars I've ever seen. All the doors except the driver's door on our Rambler were broken, which meant that any time someone wanted to get in or out, the driver had to get out and let them crawl in or out through his door. My dad was curiously proud of it for some reason, and kept trying to point out its virtues to us. Up until the day he sold it, that is.)

Welcome! Don't worry- no response you give them will work.
 Quote: My response to them is always "how can i prove something doesn't exist if you can't prove it does". That doesnt seem to work for them. Of course not. "Thinking" is a difficult exercise for such people. Relax. Come here to talk about this kind of stuff and with the xtians talk about the weather or something. Welcome.

Welcome.
Heyo and 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
