Hello everyone

Greetings from down south in Louisiana!
Welcome to the Atheist Forums, we have a very large and diverse group of people that roam these boards

Welcome, fellow heathen!

Min has recommended a few really good books to me. I am sure he knows of a few about that subject. So many atrocities in the name of gods. Makes me sad for the world.

Hello from Virginia!
I was actually born in Seattle. But I was less than a year old when me and the family moved away, so I really don't remember a thing. Now all I got are pictures and it seems as though it was always cloudy there.

Diamond, where in VA are you?

[Diamond]

Madison Heights. It's just north of Lynchburg.

[thesummerqueen]

Well shit, I pass by you every time I go to visit my mother.

[Diamond]

hock: Small world!!!

[thesummerqueen]

Lol, I'm just sayin' we should get lunch some day.

[Diamond]

That would be pretty cool. I've never actually seen someone in person that I've met online.

Oo Alaska, gorgeous! Can you send some snow down our way? lol
Crusades would definitely be a fascinating read, as would the Salem Witch Trials, Mary Tudor, the list literally endless.

If you're dying to read about the crusades you can always start here....

It includes such triumphs of xtian goodness as this, by Raymond d'Aguilers:

But now that our men had possession of the walls and towers, wonderful sights were to be seen. Some of our men (and this was more merciful) cut off the heads of their enemies; others shot them with arrows, so that they fell from the towers; others tortured them longer by casting them into the flames. Piles of heads, hands, and feet were to be seen in the streets of the city. It was necessary to pick one's way over the bodies of men and horses. But these were small matters compared to what happened at the Temple of Solomon, a place where religious services are ordinarily chanted. What happened there? If I tell the truth, it will exceed your powers of belief. So let it suffice to say this much, at least, that in the Temple and porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins. Indeed, it was a just and splendid judgment of God that this place should be filled with the blood of the unbelievers, since it had suffered so long from their blasphemies.

Praise jesus, motherfuckers!
