Hi everyone!
July 12, 2011 at 1:52 pm
I'm here because I got tired of answering silly questions on Yahoo Answers.
I'm an Atheist and have been outspoken since about 2007. I hope to get involved in discussions here so I can polish my debate and logic skills.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I always thought that yahoo answers features the stupidest people to be found anywhere outside of a church.
Congratulations on your escape.

Any reason why you suddenly became outspoken in 2007? Are you converted, so to speak? Or was it just then when you started to express your atheism?
I think that's when I finally came to terms with it. I was Agnostic/Deistic for several years before that, struggling with the concept of no afterlife and stuff. Then my Unitarian Universalist minister turned me on to Bertrand Russell. After that I read Sam Harris' "The End of Faith" and I was done. What a long strange trip it's been!
