God knows how i ended up here?
April 8, 2013 at 5:46 pm
Sort of ended up here after along trip of watching UK comedians (and some USA ones) talking about faith and suddenly when I turned 40 boring stuff became interesting ......science, various podcasts pricked my interest, the infinite monkey cage/science friday being my top 2 favourites.

I am a UK postman so get 5+ hrs of empty head time to fill whilst walking every day I work.....that’s a lot of time to expose my sponge brain to all sorts of views/reviews/news etc.

"the atheist experience" was the final signpost here, I like the way they apply rational, sceptical thinking to issues of faith, scientific method applied to fairy tales

The best way to explain myself is to just point you to my facebook page, it is my own collection of atheist material I like and my views in general on other subjects

FB – thank god 4 atheism

I am not a defender of views but post them because I am interested in what other people think

you may, it is a mixture of things but the main reason is that kudos is something that is earned not brought which goes back to my days racing prokarts but also sometimes use kundschafter, depending on what sort of forum i am visiting

Hello 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

Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission, and rip the tags off of your mattress.
