Just Here for Advice, but Hi!
July 27, 2013 at 12:31 pm (This post was last modified: July 27, 2013 at 12:39 pm by Pinja.)
I’m mostly here just for some advice that I didn’t think a non-athiestic forum space would provide. I don’t have much time to spend on forums anymore which sucks since forums can be pretty epic.

I’m a college student in the Bible Belt. I wasn’t raised with a religion, although my parents are both religious. I actually automatically assumed that everyone I met was an atheist; that reflex didn’t change until college, but sometimes I still blindly assume atheism. :p I don’t think I’ll ever become religious or ‘spiritual.’ None of it makes any sense to me, and a lot of it doesn’t appeal to me personally either.

I’m studying for a B.S. and hopefully eventually for a doctorate’s in one of the hard sciences. It’s kind of kicking my butt at the moment, but it’s fun.

Good to have you aboard! Pull up a theist and make yourself comfortable!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Yo 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

Well, um, that’s actually an appropriate welcome message considering my problem.

Thanks! The art is not mine, but, regretably, I forgot to note down the artist when I had first saved the image. I believe there’s still a watermark on the image, though.

I’m going to post about it later! It would be kind of weird to post it in the intro post, right?

Not according to Avicenna.

I wasn’t looking to research into anything. I’m already doing research in it! I just want to be able to keep getting paid to do research in it. ^_^
