Hello from Chicagoland
October 27, 2013 at 8:43 pm
Just discovered this community and I must say it's looks intriguing. Smile

I'll just be open now - I'm a gay atheist/agnostic (mostly the former but I hate to say anything for certain) in my junior year of high school living in Northern Indiana - one of the worst, ugliest, most boring regions in the US - with a passion for art, nature, and human rights. I'm a member of several other small forums though none of which anyone here would likely know and I hope to be active here; I've already pulled up a signature and avatar (I always like to look stylish on the forums Tongue ).

Anyway, that is about all. I would love to meet and get to know some people in my general area, or anywhere else. I love meeting new people.

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

Yeah, it certainly is Big Grin

I have to say, that one cute birdie in your avatar and signature. Are you a bird enthusiast?

Oh, I doubt that, really. We're very, very boring. Cornfields, pollution, and white trash. :/

EDIT: I'm an animal enthusiast, not specifically birds. Smile

Welcome!

PS atheism and agnosticism aren't mutually exclusive. Agnosticism has to do with knowledge, and atheism has to do with belief, so you can be an agnostic atheist Smile

Welcome young sir.

You already seem like a breath of fresh air. We've had a recent influx of crazy theists so of course you are a welcomed return to intelligence.

Haha, thanks. Happy to find such a forum, I've been searching for a new place to call "home" for a while.
