Hello my name is Lizzie :D I've been an Atheist officially for 2 years now. Greatest thing that has happened to me, and I can't wait to get to know you all. I'm generally shy, but I love discussing things. Especially religion. ;)
I love forums, haha.
Hi lizzie! =-)
Why not tell us a bit about yourself?
Welcome!
Dumb question. How does one officially become an atheist? :-k
Yeah, I'm that guy who asks all the dumb questions. :oops:
Hi :) Well *scratches head*, I'm a writer and activist. LGBT, Latino, and women's rights are my main studies right now. I am a MAJOR book worm. All I do when I am not working is read my books and roam around the internet. I'm very much an introvert. I like sarcasm, pirates, and cookies. x)
LikelyToBreak, when I was little I had Atheist thoughts, or like my mom says Atheist symptoms! Haha. But because of the religious cult I was in, I couldn't break free to quesiton or become what I was. Finally 2 years ago, I was free. And I officially called myself an Atheist with no apologies or fear. That's what I mean by that :) Hopefully that makes sense.
Welcome aboard Lizzie Doodle! Johnny Depp. AKA Sparrow AKA Solitary :shock: He! He!
GET OFF MY LAWN!!

Sounds like you never became a theist. (We're all born not believing in gods - or anything, except dry diapers and warm milk.) You just weren't an "official atheist" until 2 years ago, but you've been an atheist all your life (or close to it).

I was actually a Christian, and a very close minded one. Sigh I am not good at
explaining myself, especially on my past. But yes, I see what you are saying.
Oh I see. Lizzie broke free. That makes sense. I was afraid I going to have to bathe in virgin blood or something. :rolleyes:

I considered myself an official atheist when I received my membership card in the mail. :-D
And welcome, Lizzie.
Hello there and welcome, I've only been a member for a month now, but I've been an atheist for several decades.
My natural tendency is to be an introvert, but I love a good debate.
