Hi! I'm new here. I'm 16 years old. I have been Atheist since I was about 12. I didn't tell my parents till about a month ago. They both supported me even though my dad didn't really agree with me. Afterwards, I wanted to make a post on FB about it because I wanted to help other people come out of the closet and it worked. Two people did the sane thing I did. Smile

Wow, that takes great courage to share that with your parents. That's great news. Welcome and hope you enjoy it here! Smile

Hello! Welcome

By the way...how do you type without opposable thumbs, Doggey?

Welcome, Doggey!
"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

Welcome, Doggey.

And well done for having the courage to "come out" on Facebook.

I assume you're in the US where doing such a thing can be a problem?
