Hey guys, I registered along time ago but never tried to get on the forums. But with my re-interested atheism I needed to get discussing.
I parents took me to a United Christian Church. My mom actually hates organized my religion and my dad could care less. My mom just wanted me to go so I could establish a spiritual side. She is now reading up on Buddha, so I guess you can say she is creative .
Even while I was in church, I felt that it was all lies. I also felt that everyone else thought that as well, like it was just a chore. Eventually those thoughts conflicted with my friends and I began to look at my life. I noticed everyone else had a religion and I should have one as well. I looked at them all and realized none of them made sense. I then wondered why not just not believe anything. That is when I found the word atheism and started research. I found Reginald on WifeSwap and 2 years later I finally started posting. I guess you can say I'm a Natural Born Atheist... |

Hello and welcome.
Does your family know about your atheism? _________________ "If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for a reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed." Albert Einstein
