Boom! Atheism rules.

[Off With Religion Threads]

This is my first post ever on an Atheist forum.. and I literally googled Atheist Forums, clicked, signed up and boom. I'm here.
As the subject implies, Atheism is awesome. So is Agnosticism. I mean.. the world is simply too gorgeous/complex to chalk it up to a caucasian male creating it all in 7 days.

I used to play this game called Runescape growing up (mmorpg, free/graphically crappy version of WoW), and every time I ventured into a new city I felt excited because of all the things I would get to do in this place that i'd never been. This same feeling of excitement into the unknown is what I feel when I think about being an Atheist. It's freedom from the shackles of religious dogma, not in a condescending way. It's a great feeling to know that there's a vast amount of knowledge and unknown that is left for us to discover. Man, this sounds cheesy.

Welcome, but about the only real common thread among atheists is lack of belief in god($). Don't get to excited. You haven't joined an elite club or anything.

He lies and he's a swindler! Only I am authorized to induct people into the elite atheist club. Give me £99 UK and you're in. 99, as you know, is less than 100, so you save.

Don't be stupid, nobody is sending money to a goddamn skeleton boy.......while everybody loves a puppy dog...

And nobody has mentioned the obligatory beer offering. Honestly.

Years ago, when I first joined an atheist forum I felt kinda like you. But I learned that, as some have already suggested, there is no common ground among atheists other than not believing in god(s). Atheism is not a philosophy or an ideology. Seriously, if you think to find some sort of sense of camaraderie, it won't happen. I would suggest Humanism if that's what you're looking for.

Sorry to sound so negative but I think it's important to know what you're getting into. The good news is that I have learned quite a lot from these kinds of forums as I'm sure you will if you stick with it.

I'll send you a gallon of all purpose atheist orange juice and the secret atheist decoder ring.

A fellow Explorer-type gamer (and likely irl disposition).  You are very welcome here.

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Wait, this is the atheist forum, not the explorer-type game forum. No, it's $100 and you get some orange shit and a cheap plastic ring.

Welcome to the madhouse.
We may all try to be rational, but as you must have noticed, we're still a bit loose-screwed.
... Now, about that hundred bucks...
