Looking for more online friends
Hi, my name is Dan, and I have been an atheist for two years. I love watching videos on YouTube by users such as DarkMatter2525, Edward Current, NonStampCollector, and other brilliant minds, and it has inspired me to make a few videos myself. I'll post a link to one of my pride and joys below.

Basically, I have very few atheist connections in real life, so I've turned to social networking sites such as Facebook to meet up with other atheists. I am also a member of a couple other atheist forums, but wanted to expand my base a bit more.

Hmmmm, let's see, what else. Well, I was raised a Christian, but I won't go into detail about that yet. I have a long-winded testimony on my blog which I can share later. Basically, I had an awakening in 2008, and took many months to realize that I was no longer a Christian. By Easter of 2009, I was out. I find it highly significant, as the Christian holiday symbolizes a rising from the dead, which is how I see my new atheist life. From death to life. I was trapped and in prison, and now I'm free!

Anyway, I wanted to share this video I made last year, but only posted on YouTube recently. Please do spread it around, as I see it as an important message. If you have a YouTube account, please do rate! It's had a few thumbs down, likely from theists who disagree with it, but they'll have to get over it. After all, it's possible to be good without God!

I look forward to joining in the many threads, and hope I can contribute well! Thanks!

Hey Dan! Welcome to the forums of smart, handsome, wonderful and absolutely charming atheist and some dorky theists Big Grin
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

All you lurkers: note it! When you introduce yourselves: do it like this. Heart

Not taking me seriously doesn't mean I am lying to you Heart

I am however, certainly screwing with your heads, because I find it fun, you hydra! Heart
