Hey all,
I am a recent atheist convert. I guess that I value common sense, logic, rationality, and reason a lot better than imaginary stories and contradiction. Thinking

Good for you.

We have a couple of theists around here to serve as bad examples. Watch out for them.

And a couple of grumpy old men that are just as stubborn, Tongue Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Welcome! I'm chasm, which means that I'm "special" and need "help". Watch out for me, I'm one of those bad examples. :/

P.S. Not really. I have no idea why I said that. Just... hi.

Welcome radames and enjoy the forums, don't be afraid to throw in your two cents whenever you can. Remember that discussion is healthy. On a side note you have not converted to atheism since there is really nothing to convert to, you have just given up believing in nonsense and have decided to set your mind free from religious oppression. Congratulations on your recent escape from the funny farm.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
