If you're in anything other than a blue state zone, you may have to deal with citizens who feel it is a civic duty to lynch you.

It seems like a joke, until you see Texas. *shudder*

August of 2009, so 8 months, and I am 29 till the 25 of this month. I have had atheist views, though very small, I need to learn more.

But some of my friends back in high school, considered me agnostic because of the way I was thinking back then, which was 10 years ago.

I'm 17 too

I have also been an atheist my whole life, I survived through some pretty heavy indoctrination attempts when I was a little kid (I went to a C of E school)

officially since I was 12 (so about 28 years), but I never really believed in a god as long as I can remember.

Don't ask. Last time fr0d0 had his feet held to the fire, it (the argument) turned into God employing a clause where evidence does not apply to it.
