Hello & Good Morning
#1
Hello & Good Morning
Good morning from Canada's capital city.

I am a middle aged father of 2 sons, married to a wonderfully complicated catholic woman.

I've been on the TTA forum for years, but I have been lurking here on and off for a while and thought I'd join.

I came from a non-religious family, but I spent about 15 years trying to find god "a god", because when my mother died when I was 14 there were tons of people assuring me that she was alive and well in a "better place", unfortunately I was born with one of those bones in my head that kept saying...I need proof. 

Short story... I left no stone unturned in those 15 years...

I didn't call myself an atheist until about 8ish years ago when I finally told my wife, until then I considered myself "non-religious".

So here I am, the middle aged old man that if he'd listened to the 14 year old boy he used to be when he first read genesis and said to himself "this makes no sense" would have saved himself a lot of bother.

BTW: I read all the rules.

Welcome, I remember you Smile

I'm sorry about your mother.

It's funny how "better place" is an admission that God fucked up with this one.
Feel free to send me a private message.

I am. I actually got locked out of my TTA account and I don’t remember my password or my email address that I used for it 😩. Thought about messaging Momsie but I didn’t want to bother her. I’ll find a way back in eventually hehe

"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me." 
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.”
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."
