Hi everyone. I am new here. I just recently moved back to the south right smack in the middle of the Bible belt and decided this would be the time to join a forum like this. I find it difficult to deal with the highly religious in my town and need a place that I can go to visit reality. Glad to find like-minded individuals.

Hello All!

Hello AmM! Welcome to the forums!
"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

Yes...just think of us as your life preserver in a tossing sea of bible-thumping stupidity. Welcome.  RE: Hello All!

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Welcome, AmM. I'm a non-native living in Louisiana, so I feel your pain when you speak of the Bible Belt. Enjoy this island of sanity in a sea of stupid.
Edited to add: Damn it, but Min beat me to the sea of stupid line. Didn't see that. 
Welcome from the European side of the sea.
Hello and welcome to AF! ^_^
What a lovely avatar you've got there! 
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
Thank you all for welcoming me![/font]

Sounds like a good idea at the right time. Being completely immersed in Bible Belt society can seriously mess with your head
