... because I thought I was the only atheist in my town. Now I know I'm not alone, but I come back anyway because I care about some of the folks around here.

I joined because I was primarily seeking to get away from another forum where I was clearly unwanted. I was lucky to find this place, and it is honestly the best forum of which I have ever been a member. Secondly, I was tired of constantly being banned from intolerant religious debate forums. I figured an actual atheist forum would be a more suitable place to post considering that I am quite the outspoken atheist.

Mine was a longish journey. My very first forum experience was the original JesusNeverExisted one, where I was a member for ages when I found the EvilBible forum. When that went into meltdown and finally closed, a number of us migrated over to the Connecticut Valley Atheists site and colonised it. During this time is when I had my precious Sam stolen from me and I railed in several threads for a while, alienating me from some of the members. Then after that place drowned under an ocean of spambots excreta (sotty for that image) and the core memberbase drifted away, I went into a sort of exile before I realised that I'd actually signed up here about a year earlier, having been invited by Min. In my grief and depression I'd quite literally and totally forgotten about it.
Then I was Modified and the rest writes itself.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I guess for the same reason I join any forum: to talk to people with similar thoughts.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a goddess, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed

I joined for the best, fall-of-the-bone babycue this side of Memphis.
