I dunno, I've read a lot of threads on hear already and find that many of you seem to have a much more profound understanding of your belief or more pointedly lack there of because you came out of a system foisted on you. We could debate the price paid for that but I do think you got value from it.
Thanks for the welcome.

Kinda feels like the new kid in class having to stand up front and tell everybody his name. I've never held a belief in a god or gods that I can accurately recall, I never prayed and wasn't raised in a religious or spiritual household. My mother did keep penys and some odd book that purported to find meaning in them but that was short lived. I suppose that was my only real experience with mystism in my personal life.
I found my way here because I've begun to grow concerned about the rhetoric of the Christian right. I hope to reach a better understanding of what self identified atheists regard as their dealing with a religious world and generally observe and participate in reasoned debate.
Thanks.
Welcome aboard! This forum has the best mods and users around in my opinion. You’ll enjoy it.

Is a derivative of Kau cim, called chi chi sticks for fortune telling! I loled when she told me. Pennies could be used as a quick substitute. She said it was mostly more confusion than it was worth so she gave it up after a year. I loled at that as well.
