Hello! I'm a married software developer with two young kids. I used to post a bit at the RationalResponseSquad and then moved to TheThinkingAtheist. Several users there kept mentioning this place, so I thought I'd check it out.
As far as my religious views, I consider myself an agnostic atheist. I don't believe in any gods, mainly out of a lack of evidence. I was raised Lutheran. I had some doubt on and off during my 20s. During my late 20s, I wasn't sure I believed anymore, even though I really wanted to. It took me about two years to become comfortable with my lack of belief and to even be able to admit it to myself. I've been atheist for the last three years.
I'm lucky in that most of the people I hang out with are also atheist, so I had a lot of people I could talk to about it, once I'd come to terms with it. My wife is still Christian, although, she has rather accommodating beliefs. Among other things, she doesn't believe in hell, and believes that when I die, I'll go to heaven with a bit of egg on my face for having been wrong, and then everything will be cool. Our differences in belief can be a bit of a pain point, but at this stage, it's something we don't often discuss.
Anyway, I look forward to getting to know the community!
Greetings and welcome to our humble little home.

Welcome. You mean that "bunch of arrogant egotists" isn't true anymore?
Welcome to our side of the interwebz!
Welcome, Pants!
You should burn the old woman at the stake unless she's hot, but welcome even if she isn't. Part of the initiation right of passage here and I'm sure all agree is you have to post her naked pics first to be accepted. :biggrin:

Oh, my bad! I'll get right on that! In the mean time, here's an accurate approximation:

Depends on your resolution and the size of your monitor. Like I said, it's an approximation.
Welcome! I'm quite new, too! Have fun!
