Hello everyone. I'm new here. Regarding my religious background, my family belonged to the Methodist Church when I was a youngster, although neither of my parents were religious in their daily lives. My father was a high school teacher and basketball and football coach in a small town below the Mason-Dixon Line. In the late 1960s, when I was about 10, he took a job with the Federal Gov't., and our church attendance decreased dramatically and then ceased altogether. Looking back, I can see that our church membership was merely an extension of his coaching--it was the social norm of the day that anyone exercising influence over the young men of the town had better be seen (with his family) in a pew on Sundays.
I myself had lost any latent religiosity by the mid 1990s. By 2000, I was comfortable in describing myself as an atheist, although I must admit I didn't go out of my way to advertise it. Now I'm looking to converse/exchange ideas with like-minded folks. Happy to have found this Forum.
Sorry to have rambled a bit here.
Chris
Welcome! What do we do to get at the Pringles?
Lol. I must admit I'm a Ruffles guy myself.
We'll water you. It's probably not going to smell real good, but harvest season will come eventually. :lol:
Welcome to the forum!
I have a feeling that we won't be able to get enough of you. Seriously. Once you pop, you just can't stop.

Ah, gotta admit, that's good.
