Hello ladies and gents
May 14, 2014 at 2:04 pm
I admit to copying this intro from a previous intro on another atheist site today but that says a lot about me really - lazy.

Central UK. Mr average. Wife, 2 kids, 2 cats a Guinea pig, car and a typical job.

I've been fortunate to have been brought up entirely religiousless? apart from the usual school classes/morning assembly..

Until recently I've plodded on quite oblivious to any church type things and never given any of them a second thought but as I've got older and become more aware of what goes on in the world I find myself becoming gradually more militant in my thinking about atheism. I've had a distinct increase of JWs knocking on the door since living where I am now and that was a slight trigger in getting my back up.

I'm an occasional poster at TTA and also been stirring up a bit at CFS. I've been very careful there to behave and they tolerate me but I'm getting increasingly frustrated and will likely piss them off one day soon and that will be the end of that. I've been going through Genesis and picking holes but only got to Noah and I don't think I can bear to read anymore to be honest.

I'm interested in all these forums mainly because, unlike many of you here, I have little to no knowledge of the bible and the philosophy that drives folk to have faith so I want to pick up info where I can.

Welcome Tubby!

We have a lot of meaningful conversations here, but mostly, we just shoot the shit. Have fun!
"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

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.'

That will be refreshing, I predict my stay at CFS will come to an end soon so I will wait for them here.

Most kind. I'm never any good at thinking up usernames and some while back when joining PSN the kids thought I was like a tele tubbie but just a bit tubbier so I stuck with it. Tubby toast won't change that but I'll gladly take it.

Welcome, from an Aussie living in Kiwiland.

Enjoy the show.

For your entertainment, at random times throughout the day, we have various religionists and creationists on to spout nonsense, prosletyse, and attempt to make them feel better about themselves and their religion by confronting the heathens.

Babyque starts at midnight.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
