Hola im Jamie and I was one these forums a couple months ago and missed your discussions. So I'm back  Cool
Ive been hanging out with all sorts of believers lately and find their reasoning for doing ill thought out things based mainly on faith. I was a born again christian for 17 years and Jesus was my best friend. I carried my bible to high school proud and was in a praise band. When I want away on a missions trip to South Africa with christians from all over the world I was enlightened. Now that I'm an atheist I see the world differently. Obviously  Lightbulb
I do see more beauty and integrity in the atheists I've met. It seems when your not focused on the afterlife this life takes on a whole new importance. 
Well thats it. Hope I didn't break the rules 
And my Jamiebra name was not thought out just available. It can take on many meanings. None of which I meant.  Tongue

Welcome! SA would be an interesting country to visit. Very multilinguistic. What continent are you on?

Oh, never mind. You've made a few posts. Fellow Californian.
