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

Hah!

I won't fall for that.

I said that to myself, once.

But I didn't believe me!

Just browsing around, I can see that there is great opportunity for discussion.

A few topics I love:

Technology. everything and anything tech related. I'm a computer geek by trade and have had a lifelong passion for new tech.

Phsyics. I'm just starting to study astrophysics. The concepts that I've come to understand are simply mind blowing. I would be very interested in discussing some of these concepts with any other science types.

That's all for now. Hope to get to know many of you in the near future.

Welcome and enjoy the forum! Smile
