Not quite sure if I belong, but, hello
Hi there. I feel so very out of place here, but if I'm to be honest with myself I am an atheist, so....here I am.

Welcome aboard.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

All of us have a place here and are yet out of place here. It's the nature of things. We all interact and hopefully it is good. I think we all believe there is something good to be had so we participate.

If you stick around long enough, you will learn something from someone else and you will teach something to someone else.

I personally think forums like this are great. Even if 90% of it is crap, you will take something of the 10% away with you and be enriched by it.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

It's just that I've been in an existential crisis for several years and I've never been able to accept atheism. I don't get how anyone can be happy like this.

Make a thread, lay out the crisis.  Maybe someone else went through something similar.

Greetings, missionary.  Nice ruse.  Haven't heard this one in, gosh, weeks.  

Anyhow maybe you'd like some tea and cookies?

There you go, I know I don't have any objective values but hopefully this will make you feel at home here .. at least subjectively.
