Hi all
I guess this is my introduction to this forum. In short I've always been an atheist. I never had religion thrust upon me. I've been lucky to have been spared things like church service and sunday school, oddly enough this was a result of the fundamentalism my grandmother grew up with. No church for her kids. I've always identified as atheist and the anti theist is a new label for me, one I came to from listening to christopher hitchens. I've enjoyed lurking on this forum and hope it will be even better as a participating member.
Thanks
Django

Lurking is extremely bad for your health, good that you decided to post Wink
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

Welcome Django.

Hope you stick around. Like you, I have never been religious, so it's fascinating to listen to stories of folk's de-conversions and learn from them.

I just started to read the bible and I'm a little in shock that people believe it to be true and accept it as a guide for morality.
