Hello all
August 14, 2015 at 2:22 pm
I'm a 30 yr old young man. I was raised in a Christian home, and was sent to private school. I have since moved on from religon and become an Atheist. Since I live in the "Bible Belt", there a few people that are willing to discuss religon with an "Atheist"(a curse word here in GA).
I have joined to see what others think about from an Atheist view point and to help sanity check myself as I am not perfect.

Hello
You've come to the right place
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

Hi ya'll.
I'd offer up grits as a welcome but can't stand them myself.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Hello from another parishioner of the Bible Belt.
Here in Middle TN, the number of churches almost rivals the number of Waffle Houses.
Which, incidentally, is Vic's house of worship.
"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

Sanity is important...especially when you are surrounded by crazies. And sanctimonious crazies at that.
Welcome to our little oasis of reason.

Pancakes, bacon, or even toast will suffice. NO EXCUSES!
And, Welcome Newcomer! Hopefully we'll be an isle of sanity for you, while you're parked in the bible belt.
