What to say.
I've been an atheist for several years now, but I can't really put a date on when I finally agreed that was what I was, as it was more a gradual and incremental transition than anything else. Grew up in a relatively non-religious home, but with church visits on public holidays, sunday school and later confirmation. I suppose I believed at some point, but very early on I rejected the Christian god, and thought for a long time there must be a higher force, until this also over time was discarded due mostly to lack of sufficient evidence.
I have been a follower of the Atheist Experience the past few years, and it has helped me refine my definition of what my stance really is, as well as enjoying their content for a variety of reasons.
Beside my views on god/gods I am Norwegian, I'm an avid gamer, I'm currently a student and I enjoy debates of any kind.
Hope to have a good time, and possibly even have some good discussions.

Hey, welcome to the forum!
I plan on visiting Norway in my gap year, hopefully around March next year!

Thanks for the warm welcomes.
@BeoTurtle: Norway has some really great nature, but everything is extremely expensive. Where you going to?
@ Cinjin Cain: Thanks
@Napoleon666: The hosts of TAE completely demolish some of their callers, it makes me laugh to see them in action at times . I usually play PC, though I do play my PS3 at times. My current favorite games are World of Tanks, Black Prophecy and Victoria II, though I do play Counter Strike Source, Starcraft 2, Call of Duty Black Ops and Battlefield Bad Company 2 on and off.
@Moros Synackaon: En taro Adun Moros.

Seems no new people appreciate my welcomes anymore... (they should be grateful I graced their threads at all)
So I'll give you a simple welcome:
I'll bet someone didn't expect that
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

That makes four times. I should stop restraining myself
