Glad to join
Hello everyone!

I am really glad to join! It's nice to discover that there's a place where both theists and atheists can discuss issues normally and peacefully.
I used to be a Christian once, since I was 13 years old.
I remember myself being really devout and I tried to keep my faith strong all the time.. but, when I was 18, I started questioning my faith, and many questions remained unanswered.
From there I moved on and tried Judaism, Kabbalah and other stuff that really seemed quite cool, but again I had questions with no answers.

So, nowadays, when I am 25, I think that lost my faith almost completely in God or in any onmiscient/omnipotent being.
To me it seems that it's much easier to expain the world by natural means. Trying to explain things with spirituality, something that is undefined, and every religion has its own spirituality.

Anyway, I hope to learn from all of you something.. Big Grin

Alex.

Thank you for your concern, my friend... but it was the blue pill that I took, and I only really needed to take the one... but I took two, because if you're going to go out with a drug: you might as well OD.

Hey hey... everyone makes mistakes. It was pretty cool between us until she started singing.

I mean... how could she have possibly expected a repeat date after that? >__<
