Hello from Me !
June 14, 2011 at 12:19 pm
Hello, This is not my first time on the site, been viewing with interest for a few months now and just decided to make an account

I am an atheist living in Scotland and I'm sick of the amount of religious material peddled towards the school children in my area. That is the main reason for my Atheism. After realising from over 12 years of Catholic schooling that my time in school had been wasted with useless religious studies !

Anyway just wanted to write an intro and say Hi to all of you !

Thanks
Ross.

Welcome Ross, you'll be ok here!
HuhA man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?

Welcome Ross, and you should congratulate either yourself on not being particularly easy to rib or yourself on posting this on a day when I haven't had heat or electricity all day and then some.

Or perhaps both. Smile
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

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 never got to topple a Stalin statue or lay into the Berlin wall.
Some of my fondest memories are of challenging a scripture teacher at my public school to defend the indefensible.
Why are we so fast to deny fun to the young?
