Hi

Hi
I'm a 29 year old male. I've been atheist my whole life but I converted to Catholicism a year ago (reaaaalllly stupid I know). I'm still recovering from all the damage religion did to me Dodgy . I haven't told my parents I went back to atheism a few weeks ago, because they'd think I'm worshipping the devil lol. But I wonder, how could I have been so stupid? I'm a grown up person!!! Anyway, I just thought I'd stop by and say hi.  Big Grin

Hello, and welcome!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Welcome.

It's a myth that atheists worship Satan, of course, so your parents have nothing to worry about.

But we DO sacrifice virgins in the name of the Dark One (NOT Satan).

ANd we have a babyque every second Sunday.

RE: Hi
Welcome. I went to a Catholic high school for a year, so I realize there is kind of a draw to religion. I think some of the catholic imagery, including some church buildings themselves, is really pretty. Plus, people dressed up in their sunday best are fun to peoplewatch.

But, I'm from the Unitarian tradition, mainly.

RE: Hi
Welcome Woof!

We are Legion. HAH!

Curious. Was there some motivation for the conversion at that particular time in your life? Did they offer a free toaster or hat or something?

Hello.

You've never been to a sci-fi convention, have you?

The rules don't specify the gender of the virgin...
