Newbie to the forums; not to atheism.
February 22, 2014 at 10:09 am
Hi guys. My name's Jonathan and I'm new to the forums. I've been browsing for a while and decided I should sign up so I can talk to some like minded people such as yourselves.

I'm from South England and fortunately for me my parents have never been the religious type. We used to go to church at Christmas but that was more out of tradition and not really for any religious reasons. I suppose I became an atheist quite young when I saw how little (indeed any) evidence there was for any God, let alone a Christian one, and since then I've been trying to find out more about science and generally how stuff works since then.

So thanks for reading my little bio, I hope I can enjoy talking and discussing things with you in the future.

Thanks
Jonathan

P.S feel free to call me Jonny - most people call me that anyway Smile

Hullo, Jonny! Welcome.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Although it feels absurdly fatuous saying welcome after being a member here myself for a little less than 24 hours, nevertheless I will indulge in a typically affable custom and bid you...

"Welcome, good sir!"
