Howdy from Texas!
September 6, 2015 at 6:28 pm
Hey ya'll!
Name's Brian, I'm an atheist of twenty years or so. Openly for the last 2 or 3. Skimmed through a few posts already and like what I'm seeing so far. A little about me; I'm a marine corps veteran of 6 years, gear head, gun nut, no stranger to forums. Interested to see what the demographic is like 'round these parts. Generally I'd say I'm not your "normal" atheist but my perception of such gets changed on an almost daily basis and I guess that's one of the reasons why I am here. I love seeing non-believers from all walks of life. Anyways, looking forward to interacting with all ya'll so don't be a stranger ya hear?!

A Texan gun nut?
*jumps for cover*
Seriously, though, welcome aboard, Brian.
Always good to meet another atheist.

Haha, you sound like a Texan even via text.
I'm currently living in Texas due to Air Force demands. Welcome to the forums!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Welcome Brian. Enjoy your stay at the isle of sanity, but watch out, there are a few village idiots that still roam these parts. Keep your AR-15 handy
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-

I have a question for you since you say your in the marine corps, how do you feel when people say there are no atheists in foxholes?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
