What the title said Smile

I'm 27, female, an agnostic atheist who loves science, and is from a religious family (I'll try to keep the angsty posts about my crazy religious family to a bare minimum haha)

Liking the look of this forum, nice to meet you all! Smile

Hiya 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

Welcome, angsty one. Let's trade some angst.

Word of the day: angst. Angsty, angstier, angstiest. I even knew of a woman, a Penn State-Schuylkill prof, with the last name of Angst.

Welcome aboard!

Enjoy your stay.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
