Quiet nonbeliever

Quiet nonbeliever
Hello to all. I'm a young non-believer, just short of 19 years old. I was a devout Christian once, and I was a very active apologist--my first book on the whole subject was What's So Great About Christianity by Dinesh D'Souza. It made me very intent on defending my faith and converting atheists, but, to put it succinctly, it backfired. So here I am.

I'm looking to learn and discuss and observe and find some social interaction--the vast majority of people I know are believers, and I was recently left by my girlfriend, so I'm a bit isolated and lonely. I hope to find some fulfilling interactions here.

I look forward to meeting the community!

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

I am new here also, this seems like a very good opportunity to get a first hand opinion on how the change from strong belief to an agnostic view of it all.
But cheer up this looks like a place of mutual contentment for interaction, so I'm sure you'll find what your looking for...Big Grin

Hello there. I am glad you wandered in. It really is a cool place for diverse thinkers (and a few non-thinkers-er, believers).

Hi, welcome to the forum.

I'm a quiet person, too, although maybe I don't sound like it because it's easier to disguise ourselves on the internet. At least we have something in common. *shifty* Big Grin
