Hi friends.
January 23, 2011 at 11:25 pm
I just joined this forum. Been an atheist for a while now, and I tend to go for long periods of time without thinking about it much. It's easy to do that when you live in a pretty liberal area, as I do. But I became inspired to join these forums after browsing some Evangelical websites that preached homophobia and other shitty things. So I got angry and here I am. If I end up posting a lot on this board I hope to help people who are questioning dogmas and are curious about freethought. I don't intend to "convert" anyone. I just want to help people make the choice that is best for them.

I'm a female college student and I'm majoring in politics, history, economics, or something like that. I'm a socialist. I'm an atheist, a freethinker and a secular humanist, and I can also relate to naturalistic pantheism (which is completely non-supernatural).

See you around.

Most of them never question anything...especially their own dogmas. Nonetheless, welcome friend.

I live in the lovely Pacific Northwest of the US.
Wikipedia gives a decent summary of naturalistic pantheism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_pantheism
