Hello
Hi,

I'm new here and looking around.

I'm an atheist and have been since I looked up in church and thought to myself, "and grown-ups believe this?" My adolescent questioning period was not questioning faith, but questioning lack of faith. Fortunately for me my pastor recommended reading The Bible. There is no better way to firm up atheism than reading The Bible.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Hi there, welcome aboard!

Wait a minute - Jenny A? Not... Jenny Agutter? Can I have your autograph?

(The post above this one is not a reference to mine, no matter how it looks. Honest. Merely an unfortunate coincidence.)
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.'

Would you still want it if I weren't Ms Agutter? Because I'm not.

"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

Aww. Hey, never mind; I'd take it anyway, for as long as it was offered.

I prophesy our Losty will be here with the cookies soon.

Welcome

I'll give you a hint: there is an actress that shares my name, but am not she.

Ah, people from the moon, I surmise.

Is that like a timeshare thing, you get to use it for a week or a month, then you swap over and she uses it?
