Greetings Everyone
Hello!

First off, I cannot express how glad I am to have found a place full of like-minded people with whom I can hold intellectual conversations with.  Now for the actual introduction:

My name is Jack.  I am currently 21 years old and am a member of the United States Navy.  As you can imagine, most people in the military (especially those overseas) turn to religion in order to get through all of the hardships and nonsense that occurs on a daily basis.  So obviously it is hard for people like me to find others that don't cringe when I answer them honestly about my lack of faith.

The main thing you should know about me is that I love to talk.  This passion ranges from friendly conversation to heated debates.  I especially love it when I am able to have a long conversation with someone with views that differ my own.  I don't push Atheism on to people or go out of my way to disprove the religion of others, but I like to talk about my views when asked.

Other than that, I enjoy meeting new people, so please don't hesitate to get to know me, as I will attempt to do the same with people on here.

Thanks for reading!

What's up Jack!

I was in the Navy for 11 years. I was on the USS Green Bay out of San Diego.

What is your rate? I was a SWO, black shoe.

Welcome to the forums! I hope you join in, sailor.
"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

BTW, "Joshua" did not knock your walls down.  That's just bible bullshit.

Welcome, Jericho. I was Air Force but I hope you won't hold that against me. Smile

I think you'll find what you're looking for here.

RE: Greetings Everyone
I appreciate the kind words and welcome everyone!

@SteelCurtain: My rate is MA and I am currently stationed in the Middle East (fun stuff).  You can imagine how frustrating it is with all of the overzealous Islamic people over here...literally everywhere.

@Minimalist: I found this name to be slightly ironic, which is why I use it.  Plus, I think the name sounds cool.

@AFTT47: I don't hold that against you, though I will forever argue that the Air Force is lazy.  Even if that isn't always true, it is still a fun stereotype.

I am anxious to get to know all of you and to become an active member of this forum!

Welcome! My husband retired from the Air Force and my sister is currently in the Air Force. My brother, for a short while, was in the 82nd Airborne(Army). My dad was in the Army and my step dad was in the Air Force. One of my sons' wanted to join the military but the recruiter told him that his severe asthma would keep him out. Glad to see you here
