Hi!!
December 1, 2010 at 12:25 pm
Hey! I'm obviously new!
My name is Crys [pronounced like Chris] and I typed in "athiest forums" on Google to find out more, so maybe I could talk to people who wouldn't criticize me for not believing fully in God [I guess I believe in a higher power, just not this very second, I'm 'caught in between' believing and not believing right now, sorry if you don't want people like that on here, i can leave]
Hmm yeah, so, I love fried chicken, my favorite colors are blue and black, I have a family from the south on my dad's side, they're quite awesome. I speak English [duh] and some Spanish
I'm fairly happy for an emo, one cut can last me a couple days, its almost like I'm high after I cut xP
<-- that tiger is adorable, just to letchya know
I still go to church (by parental force kinda) everyone in my youth group sunday school class stares at me after the teacher has read somethign from the Bible because I have a lot of questions that most say are stupid but I'm just a doubting person who is gullible, kinda contradicting I know.
I love to write, and read. I like to be by myself with the conviences of modern life, so I'm kinda a recluse, my favorite place to be is locked in my room ;D
SOOOOOOO yeah, that's the basics about me

Oh yay, we have another masochist! Welcome, welcome! Have you ever tried BDSM? It is a much better outlet than cutting yourself. But to each his own, I suppose.

Glad to see you! Oh, I mean read you!

Hi EmoKid, welcome
You are more than welcome here, hell we tolerate a young earth creationist reformed Christian being on here.
When it comes to asking lots of questions to preachers and ministers of "god's word" in my limited experience, it is not too "socially appropriate". Because the other Christians think you are a smart arse and the preacher or minister of "god's word" can get annoyed, because they expect those they are teaching to nod their head like sheep.

Criticize????
Not around here, laddie! No because there's never any criticism around here But seriously EmoKid, you're more likely to get flack for cutting yourself around here than not believing in God, welcome.
"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

Giggled a little at that. That's the first time you caused me to giggle, Tack.
I know this goth-girl who has not only opened her legs to every guy in town but has gotten herself pregnant three times by three guys. She shaved her hair off and kept cutting herself. Then she ended up in a mental institution. Every now and again I see her go by looking like a complete mess. I slap myself silly everytime I remember that I had oral sex with her before. What was I thinking?
Fucking mental she is. And I thought theists were the most insane.

They don't like open minds. They fear those who have the ability to step back and really question things independently. It's easy to herd sheep because they're dumb, it's near impossible to herd someone who's smarter than you. Can't herd someone who thinks independently. Why else do they try and keep people from questioning? And attacking those who do question. Trying to keep the leash on you in other words.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
