Request permission to come aboard.

Hi all! Lurked around on a few atheist sites, but this seemed to be one of the more popular ones, so here I am.
Little background:
I'm an 18 year old non-theist living in a Christian household. I've been obsessed with music for my entire life. I play a few instruments, and my physical music collection is somewhere around 400. I may or may not study to become an audio engineer.
Think I'll stick around.

Permission Granted. You may cross the quarterdeck.
Welcome, Topher!
"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.
The more the merrier. Music obsession is good.

Hello Topher 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
