New here, but not a new Atheist
June 13, 2011 at 3:52 pm
Hey all, great to find this place of like minded people!

I did not grow up being indoctrinated into any religion or anything, but gradually just came to be an agnostic as I grew intellectually. Over the last 3-4 years as I have read more I started to lean to being atheist and can fully say I am an atheist now. I Look forward to good discussions on the forums here!!

My recent readings include:
The Portable atheist
The God Delusion
A Letter to a christian Nation
The Greatest show on Earth

Also...I don't want to sound like I'm selling anything on my first post. But one of my favorite Musicians, Frank Turner, just came out with a new album and one of the songs on there is called Glory Hallelujah. Just to give you an idea the course goes " There is no God, so clap your hands together, there is no God, no Heaven and no Hell" ....etc. It's a good song.

Talk with you all soon!!!

Better than all those books involving boring religion and evolution?

The Prince.
A Christmass Carol.
Treasure Island.
Around the World in Eighty Days.

At least one can enjoy reading these.
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

I found the prince (I take it you mean macchiavellis book) a tough read, but that is an excellent reading list Aerzia.

welcome to the forums
"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 was going to read A Christmas Carol but I thought I'd wait for someone to make some kind of film about it.
