Title: I'm new, hello
Post by: Deidre32 on February 22, 2014, 04:44:33 PM
Hello, my name is Deidre...and I post also on another atheist forum. I've noticed this site last year, and thought why not join it, too. :) I was raised in a Christian home and spent most of my adult life catering to the religion. I don't judge anyone who chooses to remain in it, but after MUCH research and soul searching, decided that I'm more comfortable being an Agnostic. I've chosen this line of 'belief,' because I don't believe any of us knows for sure, logically or otherwise, if a Deity exists. Agnosticism is often a misunderstood position, so if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. I used to think completely differently about Agnosticism until the path naturally led me to it.

Look forward to discussing things here, and supporting anyone who needs it.

Hi, I'm Stromboli but you can call me Bryce. I enjoy the smell of grass after it rains and long walks on the beach with my rescue Corgi/Norwegian Otter Hound mix, Merkyn.  :-D

I would ask you if you wanted to go for some pizza, but I seriously wouldn't be able to pay any attention to you while I have a few slices in front of me. It wouldn't be very respectful of me...

Welcome aboard. Just joined last week myself. Although everyone is great here so far and I seem to fit in well. They can be relentless with religious folk though from what I've read through. Typically justifiable.

Hi dee.. sorry, I ignore about 85% of intro threads so here's my obligatory welcome post.  Did anyone mention you're not even permitted to post without nude pictures of yourself?  You can send them to me and I'll pass it on they're probably pretty good.  They'll all trust me because I'm the responsible party here.  :-D

Excuse the bump.

I know you. In fact, you recommended this forum to me, and I discovered I had already signed up (before you) and forgot I had this account. Funny when that happens. :)

Belated welcome, LOL, given your posts number in the hundreds already and I only have around 16 now.

This site looks great... and Dee is here too! Bonus! :)

According to the profiles you registered here on February 22, 2014, and I registered on March 22, 2013, so I've been here longer actually, just not an active poster.

I was also on atheistforums.org around 3 yrs before you, again not an active poster - I had actually completely forgotten about both forum accounts before you reminded me. :)

I do prefer atheistforums.com so far, it does feel a bit less combative and more intellectual compared with the other site.

No, but women older than you, very few of them seem to like nerds, much less are nerds themselves.
