Newbs here...

Newbs here...
Hi everyone! I'm a fairly new atheist...deconverted this year after about 2 years of doubt from many questions that plagued my mind. I'm also on TTA forum but thought I would google for any other forums that I can seek to build community with! 

My story is in my bio...it's the abbreviated version.  Sleepy

Can't wait to get more involved!

Welcome aboard.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote: In the interim I started asking myself some poignant questions. Why did I believe what I believed? How did I know it was true? Could I prove god working in my life?

Quote:I started seeing the bible for what it was. A book written by humans who were just responding to the society and culture of their day.

If only most christians could do/see these things, as they claim to.

Wow, sounds like you were heavily brainwashed and indoctrinated into a strict christian life (cult), glad to see you saw the ‘light’. Smile

Welcome Smile

I can't see how it's possible we know each other, but you look really familiar to me.

Oh, and LP, speak for yourself. I always clean up after myself when we have a babyque.
