Hello
October 23, 2013 at 3:23 pm (This post was last modified: October 23, 2013 at 5:00 pm by Phea1Mike.)
Hello,

I found this site while surfing Reddit. It looked interesting, and seems to be active, so I joined. My religious beliefs have progressed from agnostic, to agnostic atheist, however I now currently consider myself an anti-theist. History has proven, at least to me, that religion, at least the 3 AG, (Abraham's god), religions, are responsible for far more evil on this earth than good.

For further clarification on my views, simply watch some of Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Aron Ra, etc. on YouTube, or read their books.

I believe in respectful dialogue, and that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and has a right to believe whatever they want. I also believe critical thinking is such an important skill, especially in today's world, that it should be taught from K-12.

Edit: Thanks all, for the welcome! I'm still trying to figure out the way this forum works, so please excuse any, (technical), mistakes I might make. I will try to contribute in a meaningful way.

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
