Hello to all!
July 28, 2011 at 8:57 am
Hello everyone! I have become fascinated with the conversations and debates on this forum and by joining I hope to contribute in anyway I can. A bit about me (if it isn't too bold of me to say): I grew up a Catholic and have always been interested with different cultures, beliefs and religions. Over time I have become fond of the religions of the East, especially Buddhism. However, after reading the works of Russell, Dawkins and Hitchens, I have found atheism and agnosticism to be absolutely fascinating. On a more personal note, I attend college in the great (and extraordinarily religious!) state of Oklahoma and I love the Flaming Lips. Other than that, not too much.

So while I may not exactly declare myself an atheist at the moment, neither do I claim to be a Christian. Hopefully, I can contribute to this forum.

Peace

Mwahahaha. Now the atheists can convert you. I'm just kidding. We do no such thing. Welcome to the forums.

lol, I'd be happy to do "such things", but there's this sliding payscale....
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. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. 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 yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. 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!

Greetings one with their lips on fire.
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

Clapton is god? What about Satriani, Knopfler or Santana? Big Grin

Welcome!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Welcome,

I have found that the undecided are often more interesting and usually more open minded.

Welcome! I'm new too and a long term atheist, I can't say that I find it fascinating though... Maybe the life of a new atheist is though? I find my lack of fantastical belief in a society rife with it to be a bit of a struggle to be honest.

I think it is totally too bold of you to dare talk about yourself so I'm not going read any further.
