Hello from Ohio USA
Hey everyone, thanks to intelligent humans for developing the internet. I may not otherwise have any contact with other atheists. The nearest active group is about 45miles away.

Im 29, and working in mental health/crisis intervention.
I have been an "official atheist" for 2 years, and VERY PROUD of it!

greetings to all!

Hello Ohio! The most refreshing thing about these forums is the sheer number of Americans on them; it really makes me think that the USA might not become a theocracy after all!
Happiness is all that's important. What makes me happiest is making my loved ones happy.

Hi Kkaplan,

Yeah, like you I'm very proud of what I am, it's like no one handed me my morality I kind of made it myself (OK, I didn't it's a product of the society into which I was born, my family, friends and other influences but I get to validate it I guess).

Welcome to our forum Smile

Oh Kkaplan, I can't believe I forgot to say: I think the internet is totally awesome. I thank the developers too, it's kickass.

And also, I also feel very proud to be an atheist....

I mean it's hard not to be proud about it really Tongue

Some people think pride is a bad thing; but they often describe it as a "sin" (one of the 7 'deadly' sins).

And sins aren't really applicable to me being an atheist, either it's immoral and/or illegal or it isn't. Sin doesn't come into it.

So I'm actually PROUD of being proud to be an atheist lol Wink. Sod all the people who say 'pride is a sin'. Hard NOT to be proud sometimes.

After all there's a difference between pride and arrogance. Sometimes there's something to be proud about! And it's like when you achieve something, like a big aim or goal, I think you should feel proud about it.

I like pride. It's arrogance that I dislike. Someone told me that arrogance is pride + ignorance. Which I found interesting.

Anyway enough waffling by me, once again; welcome to the forums and enjoy your stay Smile

Greetings, kkaplan, from a fellow Buckeye. I congratulate you on having liberated yourself from the thrall of religion.
