Hello everyone!
September 2, 2011 at 4:50 pm
Hey. Just found these forums, and I though I could share my opinions and have a proper conversation about religion here 
I am 16 (soon 17) years old, and I live in Finland. I suppose I've been atheist for my whole life. I'm actually part of the church (because you need to be 18 to leave >_>), because my mom is a Lutheran. Here your mother's religion defines yours as well... Stupid system if you ask me, not even close to freedom of religion.
From the few posts I've read on the forum this seems to be quite anti-religious place... I like it!  Although I suppose all atheist forums are?

Hello and welcome. Don't get too many Finlanders on this forum....so it will be interesting to read your take on stuff.
 A 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?

We're not as much anti-religious as anti-evasiveness, anti-shit-n-run-posts (fundamentalist preachers are prone to that) and anti-argument-from-incredulity.
That said, welcome.

C'mere buddy, it's "100%" anti-religious within arms reach of me. Welcome aboard.
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!

But the skies are not stormy all day

Welcome to the forums :p
Religion is like a Penis, you shouldn't whip it out in public and you shouldn't shove it down your child's throat.
