RE: Introduce Yourself HERE!
Maybe I am more a
skeptic than an atheist. Just not ready not to believe. I was brought up Southern Baptist. I accepted Christ at age 8 or 9. Thank God I was not going to hell. I went a long time the bible said it, I believe it, that settles it , amen. Then I had to have so much explained away of what was in the bible. If I read the bible, I had to read it in the "right, inspired, way". Went through all the apologetic and believing it. There was always this gnawing down deep that God had to be more than an all know father figure out there. Maybe Star Wars the Force might be closer to it? I have seen Laurence Krauss's something from nothing and Christopher Hitchens's debates. Found The Thinking Atheist pod casts on my Windows Phone and here I am doing what the bible tells me to do. "Prove all things: hold fast that which is good."— 1 Thess. v. 21. I am 51 years old and still looking for answers. |

RE: Introduce Yourself HERE!
Hello, i'm a 22 year old atheist from Norway, and seemingly the first in my family not to believe in ghosts or an afterlife. My parents aren't really the most religious people around. My father is agnostic, and my mother is more of a pantheist that doesn't seem to know what pantheism is. Both my brother and i were raised in a secular fashion, and both came out atheist.
I studied photography but turned out not to like the sterile studio setting nor having to give directions and tell people how to pose (being an asperger, this proved to be too much of a challenge to me). Instead i work as a substitute cleaner, while trying to find a "real" job that suits me. I'm a huge fan of metal (especially black) and video games, often combining the two. I enjoy audiobooks, documentaries, podcasts, youtube lectures from universities, and pretty much any audible (credible) source of information i can comprehend the contents of. |

Hi! Can't wait to meet and talk to other free thinkers!
Hello everyone,
I'm an open minded, decent atheist from Surrey! As I'm sure many do, I greatly admire Richard Dawkins, James Randi and the late great Christopher Hitchens. I'm looking forward to a lot of fun and interesting chats with you all soon! |

Howdy Ya'll!
I guess you could consider me a fairly new atheist since I've only been not believing since about the beginning of August 2012. I lived in MD for most of my life and came from a very conservative, fundamental pentecostal christian family. I'm not "out" with them yet. Frankly, the prospect of telling them scares the crap outta me. I've been able to admit my non-belief to few of my friends from my old life. Right now I am just building my case. Cause I know at some point, I will need to have those answers for them. Living in Texas now I am exploring a life without god. And ya know what? It's great! I am looking forward to a life free from fear, self-loathing, and judgement. I have met a few atheists here in town and other who are at least willing to let me not believe what I want. Life is looking up for the first time! Travis A philosopher once asked, "Are we human because we gaze at the stars, or do we gaze at them because we are human?" Pointless, really... "Do the stars gaze back?" Now *that's* a question. Stardust - 2007 |
