Well hello
#1
Well hello
Greetings all, 

By way of intro, I am an atheist for more than thirty years, gave that up about the same time as santa. 

I find myself here on foot of a god-botherer, who somehow managed to buy a ban in the space of a day on this very site. Said wing-nut continues to haunt my usual hang-outs.

But I was interested to hear others thoughts on actually being an atheist, how it impacts their lives, and anything else germane.

I may even be able to contribute some thoughts.

Welcome.

If I can swing a dead cat and not hit a christian, it's a good day.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

Thanks. If you can swing a cat and hit a christian it's probably a good day. I was raised RCC. How my parents managed to raise four total heathens is anyone's guess. Both are long dead now. But all of us nevertheless ended up as atheists and there was no acrimony. A tribute to their tolerance perhaps. Or their ability to pretend it is not there is like an elephant in the room.  

In any event, it is clear to me that I had a big fat easy path to atheism, but I am the exception. Most do not.

Which idiot got banned?

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Hitting xtians is almost the whole point of swinging cats.

Hi new guy! Unless you're a sock of an old guy, in which case... well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Tongue
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Well, it is considered actionable to specify individuals where I am used to and I don't think I am allowed yet to post links? And I am really feeling my way into the culture on this site.

Without specifying any individual, does the principle of thought curvature ring any bells?

WE have Cyberman here to make a ruling.  Like felons in Texas I don't think banned posters should have any rights at all.

Hello yourself. Welcome to our forum, I hope you like it here.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
