Hello
September 30, 2014 at 9:34 pm
Hi everyone. I was raised Baptist in the SE United States. When I was 15, I became skeptical and two months later became an atheist. I'll be turning 17 in 2 weeks now.
There's more I could say, but I don't have the time or patience. If you have any questions about myself, I'd be more than happy to answer them.

Welcome aboard.
Always good to encounter fellow heathens.

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.

Hello! Hope you stick around and chime in!
"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

Hello!
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
