Greetings.
Hello everyone in here Cool Shades
As you can see, I'm new to the forums and I am an Athiest.
I used to believe in an higher being when I was younger because some of the times religion was forced down upon me, but I started to think straight and became an atheist at the age of 11.

I'm still young though, (15 years of age) and I'm still quite new when it comes to religion and some parts of atheism, I'm willing to listen to anyone's thoughts unless it's an directed flame.
See you guys around!

EDIT: Changed post because Aerzia Saerules Arktuos made me feel like an idiot. ROFLOL

Welcome, Jax, from a fellow atheist! I was 12 when I saw the light, and have never looked back!

Not sure what sort of thoughts you're looking for, but I doubt you'll get flamed here for being an atheist!Smile


There are many intelligent Christians, no doubt, but an "intellectual Christian", is surely an oxymoron.

Welcome from Oz Jax Hi

The only "flaming" you'll get here is if you make a statement and are not able or unwilling to defend it (with citations, evidence or a damn good personal story)

Enjoy your stay here. Please have a look in the Site Specific forum http://atheistforums.org/forum-22.html for details as to how we work here. Don't mind the theists..they really are very nice.... and are valuable members of this forum.

Welcome to the forums, feel free to jump into a topic that interests you. You're bound to learn a lot from the wonderful community here.
"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'm not 'Everyone-In-Here', but I'll answer for them until they get back. Hi.

I cannot see, and am infact blind. I am using ease of access, text-to-speech and braille to type this response. But you are indeed new to the forums. Jury is out on your atheism, but i believe you! ^_^

I used to say such wise things as "I can't know" as a little child. Alas, I grew up, and now know better: I can know anything, and this is entirely unrelated to my being correct ^_^ 11 is a little early to become an atheist, I have a hat for such people. It has a bunny on it. I actually have zero idea what I am talking about anymore, so I'll just say 'skittles' and be done with it.

Damn you're old 0.o I'm not even 1 year old, myself Sad I've not even gotten to see if 'daytime' is any different from night yet. Damn you, pluto! Why couldn't I live somewhere reasonable? It will be millennia before I'm even allowed to move, damn you you arbitrary age line! Angry

I would suggest you not simply "accept" anyone's thoughts... think about them and come to a conclusion? sure... blindly accept? Not a good plan.

I'm not an atheist: I believe fully in Regulos and the rest of the Blood Storm, to say nothing of the Vigil that sits on its asses and can't be relied upon. I can prove they exist by sticking you in front of a Major Rift during an invasion. But it won't matter soon after that, as unlike demigods (such as myself): you'd be dead.... so what would be the point of proving it to you? Tongue

And no, I'm not kidding you. Regulos is real, and he's out to kill you. I, and others like me, am the only hope left for your world. This is because Riftspawn kick your non-demigod left ankles, and then eat them.
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
