I Am An Atheist
November 20, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Greetings:

I've been lurking here for a while, and I decided to, finally, post my greeting.

I have been atheist since, approximately, 1985-1988. I need to state the range of time, there, as it was a process of becoming an atheist rather than *just* deciding that I was an atheist.

As I had moved at the time, it wasn't too hard just *be* an atheist. No former acquaintances hassling me with anyone wondering what is happening or anything like that.

Well, in September of this year, I had a stroke. Now, my atheism is firmly intact. However, I've gotten a bit scattered and I cannot argue effectively anymore. So, I'm just a, generally, non-argumentative atheist. For now.
Don't listen to me.
Don't agree with me.
Don't argue with me.
Just humor me!

Welcome aboard.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

Welcome to the forums! I am sure that you will find good company here.

I don't think many people just become an atheist; there is often a transition era. I had one too.
