Hello
January 28, 2016 at 3:03 am
Hello, my name is Tomasz and I'm from Poland.
I'm liberal - in european sense of the word - and atheist. I have master's degree in history and as one can guess past is something that is of much interest to me, particularly XX century totalitarian regimes. I despise nationalism and church which is supporting and actively cultivating manichean worldview.
I enjoy discussions about history, religion and politics. Also I'm looking for a place where being liberal and/or atheist isn't something to be ashamed of.
I'm looking forward to participating in forum life.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
Mikhail Bakunin.

Hello Tomasz!
Welcome to the forums.
"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

My thesis was about influence of Bolshevik coup d'etat on Poland regaining independence as shown in polish historiography so this is let's say my professional field of interest. Other than that I'm interested in Russian Revolution itself and changes wrought by it. I also have fairly good knowledge of Shoah and III Reich.

I will, probably but my input will not be more valuable than that of others as I do not specialize in this period on history and have only passing knowledge of it from some books.

Hey there, welcome 
Liberal atheists are certainly welcome here!
I think history is a conspiracy, personally. We only have circumstantial evidence that anything happened, indistinguishable from planted evidence and false memories put there by aliens.

Exactly, rob.
When people bring up history, I'm always like, "well, were you there?"
Ivan Denisovich, what is a day in your life like?

Liberal atheists are welcome here? That's good.
As for history: sarcasm. Did I just detected it?

There is nothing out of ordinary in my life. I read much, listen to music and exercise. Also I'm sharing my thoughts on the forums. Or you were asking about something different, deeper maybe?
