Hey
November 2, 2010 at 9:55 am
Alright guys, thought I'd sign up to this forum and say hello...so hello!

I live in the UK, Hells gusset, Northants. Thought I'd sign up to this forum in the hope that hearing things like "bats are birds" and "evolution is just a theory" would be a thing of the past.
Baptised and raised Christian, then started questioning things at 13 when I lost my grandad to cancer. Never been bothered with titles and pigeon holes so I just think what I think and do what I do. And hopefully get some questions answered/life bettered in the meantime.

God Bless Atheism

Well, as I was quickly told, you won't entirely escape such talk here...but in general (who was the person who told me reasonable wasn't entertaining enough?) people here are 'reasonable', wonderfully funny and sometimes scary intelligent. So welcome, from the fast-chilling state of North Carolina! [shakes fist at weather]

Welcome. We welcome people of any and all beliefs, so we do get a few of the lunatic fringe, but if they can't back up their assertions, they are quickly shown the door. I think you'll enjoy it here.

Hello, Link.

I fully expect the republican shitwits to declare the bat as the national bird today just to satisfy the know-nothings in their "base."

Welcome to the Forums
"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

I would welcome you to the forums...

But then I'd have to welcome you to the forums.

Please don't kill anyone I like while you are here Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Welcome to the forums! Big Grin
"If your god has to make peace with me in my final hour when he has my whole lifetime to prove his existence to me...do you think I should bother?"

"But the happiness of an atheist is neither the vacuous enjoyment of a fool, nor the short-lived pleasure of a rogue. It is rather the expression of a disposition that has ceased to torture itself with foolish fancies, or perplex itself with useless beliefs." - Chapman Cohen
