He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke

Hello new guy. Welcome to our little corner of the web.
Oddly enough, it's a place where Jesus' followers come to be heard.
I know I know, it seems weird at first, but after you start reading all their posts you realize why they are here. Not even their own brothers-in-christ want them around spewing out their own personal brand of jesus-fucktardery.
So, they come here and either pretend that they're gleaning information for some phony scholarly pursuit or they delude themselves into thinking that they're doing some "higher work" here as a self-proclaimed messenger of god. Either way, the result is the same: showing the world what a filthy disease their religion truly is.
So anyway, welcome to Atheist Forum sir. A place where tolerance of other people's religious stupidity has resulted in much laughter, debate, and bewilderment. Cheers.

Yea ! I was a little surprised to see this when browsing the forums.
It is a massive relief to be talking to people who are not religiously insane for a change!
Thank you for the warm welcome.

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

Greetings and welcome newbie!
By any chance have you heard about Jesus and the Good News?!?!??!??? Jesus is like this really cool (I mean REALLY super/really/cool hippie dude, except he sorta has a job, but not really) god guy who can fix up what ails you! And believe you me, you need a-fixin'! And Jesus has just the way to fix ya! It involves a bit of gore, but we'll come to that another time. This is the Good News! The Good News of Jesus!
Here -- take some Jesus dust and dust thyself upon thee with it. Mayhaps thee will enjoy the Jesus dusting to ensue.
In Jesus (and Jeebus) Holy Name!
