You're right... i should say something..
I was even going to do it but... I couldn't muster the courage. Smile
Now that so many of you told about yourself, I can do that...too
as you know i'm newbie here and i'm from Poland...and my English is terrible.
I was born in the south of Poland and most of my life ..I spent there... mountains, skiing and so on.. But now I live in Warsaw because I have a job here..
I wanted to be an astronaut or criminologist.. but i'm a scientist…hehe...
why am i here...hmm good question... as i said my good friend told me ... there are a nice, good people.. and i need good people around... so i'm here, btw i'm really curious about the people, life, world...that's all! And I think I like to be here….
What am I looking for in my life?... hmm ... yeah, one of those silly questions, huh? I think everyone of us is looking for happiness… so me too, and i think I found one piece of the puzzle... called happiness!
Family.. husband, daughter, no pets but i love pets...especially cats... but also dogs, rabbits, horses...and so on..
...and for now... i don't know what can i say more about myself... i really like people but usually i afraid of them... I love eat, i love good music and good movies....we can talk later about good music and cool movies too ...
I'm dreaming to see death valley...and go to Portugal!!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9UK72n...p=drivesdk  ...me at work
Maybe later I will find a courage to tell more about myself ...  Tongue


Thank you. You look nice and are obviously very responsible both in your work and with a family. I've never been to Warsaw but when I've been in Europe I've liked seeing buildings and fountains that are hundreds of years old. The U.S. is such a new place by comparison, fewer stories.

I also look forward to visiting Portugal. We just had dinner with a fellow who lives in San Francisco but recently retired from his job and is planning to move to Barcelona, in Catalonia Spain. He has been living there part time but will soon move there for good. He was telling us about some very long walks he has been doing there with friends. Apparently there are companies in Portugal which will basically move you necessities along to the next town, arrange your lodging and meals so that you can just traipse along the coast for many days and miles with nothing much on your back. He has done one trip is looking forward to another. In Barcelona I want to see all of Gaudi's designs and hear the food is great in Portugal.

I've only been to Death Valley once. It was in April and still it was hot. There is a public swimming pool there which they have to refrigerate so that it will be refreshing rather than dangerous. Interesting geology and huge views over mostly open country.

Quote:Where do you come from?

I'm from the UK.

Quote:What do you do?

I have a few hobbies but no paid job. Although I do volunteer.

Quote:Why are you here?

I first joined AF in 2008 after reading the God Delusion and being inspired by the anti-theistic aspect of it (I already didn't believe in God and I've never believed in God). I then took a break for several years. I returned in 2015 and stuck around more because I made friends. Although I'm probably gradually drifting away from AF again.

Quote:What do you look for in your life?

Ways to enjoy myself that are more profound than merely passing time. I've not found anything more profound than that yet besides being in love, but that's not something that I can really choose consciously and I don't want to depend on other people. I definitely look for and wish to maintain independence in life.

Quote:Tell us something about your family, about your pet...and so on....

I don't have a pet. I don't always get along with my family but I almost always get along really well with one of my brothers. He's a visual artist.

In my region, religion became a tool of control. Twisted and forged to suit different needs; I found that it became subject to peoples' opinions and interests. But when I studied the source; I found that it's pretty pure. So I want to preach that, also if my studies are wrong; they will be disproved here. So I'm testing it here too.

In life, I want personal peace.

I'm here because I won't fit in the safe and all the drawers are full. 

In life I'm always looking for reasons not to punch people who desperately deserve it. 

Immediate family consists of an amazingly patient wife and two impressively lazy cats.

You are looking for reasons not to punch people? I feel you, sometimes I feel like this too. Big Grin

RE: Let me get to know more about you....
I'm from Manchester, or at least very close to it in the UK.

I work stupid hours as a security guard in the middle of what I think is a beautiful countryside.

I originally came here because I watched some online religious debates. I learned early about Christianity but had never really seen Islam debated so I got interested in that.
I joined and got banned from Islamic forums then came here.
I haven't joined in a religious debate in a long time now, most of the debates I have on here now have some political, racial, gender related topic, or just miscellaneous stuff.

I look for health, money, family and entertainment.

I have a daughter. I've been getting more romantically connected with the mother of my child since we've been very on and off ever since we first met. She recently told me she feels the same way that I do about her, in the sense that I think to myself why am I going on dates with these other women who don't look as good and aren't as interesting to talk to.
I anticipate this will change again soon so, my life has a lot of ups and downs when it comes to relationships usually


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

While  I may never convince you that Allah isn't real, anymore than I have a chance at convincing Catholic Lady Jesus is fiction. I do admire your braveness living in that region doing what you do challenging your own.

I only hope you stay safe and live a long life. I need theists to bitch at and whine about. I don't mean oppress or kill, but I do need to release my stress by pulling my hair out.

You have more balls than I do. Not in that your god exists, but in that you challenge your own region's thinking. 

I wont lie, I admit I have it easier as an atheist living in the west. But I do not envy any liberal Muslim or liberal Christian or liberal Jew living in an oppressive state. We'd all have a problem if we were atheists, Muslims, Jews, or Christians living in North Korea too.

But man, I like you. I like CL too. I just don't think either of you need a deity to worship. But, if you never leave it, I still need a verbal ONLY platform to vent. 

And I am still mad at you for not teaching me how to make all those neat toys all Muslims make.  Big Grin

PS........ I love cats too. My best friend is my cat.

I'm a full time university student in Vancouver, studying business and environment. A law degree is probably next for me, and then I'm going to go full force into trying to make business environmentally and socially sustainable (renewable energy and sustainability marketing are two of my focuses). Basically my goal in life is to make the world sustainable, but I realized activist groups are pretty powerless in my crony-capitalist society, so I'm going to do it the business route. I figure you can't fix capitalism until you understand it.

Might be a politician, judge or professor one day, depending on which path I choose specifically.

I love science, music, art, athletics, innovation, statistics, logic, and inflicting others with my bad jokes. Came to this site to play mafia!

Born in Montreal, but moved to Winnipeg in my early 20s and have lived here ever since.

I work in the medical transcription department of a hospital, but before that I was a computer technician.  I've also worked in public accounting, commodities trading, and a couple of other industries.

When not at work, my main activity is playing woodwinds in concert bands.  Saturday morning it's currently flute and alto saxophone, and on Wednesdays I play clarinet (which is my main instrument).  I also write, do some gourmet cooking, and maintain a house and garden.  Planning to retire sometime in the next 5 years and continue doing all of these activities, and also travel some more.

I'm here because I enjoy the community, and because I have strong feelings about the effects of religion on civil society.

What am I looking for?  Knowledge.  Lifelong learning, and challenging my own weaknesses.

Both parents deceased.  My dad worked in aerospace electronics, and IIRC before marriage my mom worked in a seniors' home.  Younger brother is a geneticist and microbiologist.  My daughter is a fantasy artist.

No pets currently, but I've had cats (most recently, from 1994 through 2016).  I maxed out at 9 cats, including a mama cat and all 5 of her kittens, who became my Dark Legion.  The last of the kittens died last year at age 14.   Sad
