Greetings From Shaffy
« on: November 11, 2013, 08:45:01 PM »
Greetings everyone,
I am a young atheist whose father was teaching basic points of interests for atheists. He asked me why don't amputees grow their legs/arms back. I said " Im sure a couple have." I recently looked it up in google and found this amazing site. I am extremely excited to start posting here and listening to so many discussions. I've already found it so fascinating seeing the many posts. It's been rough being young and having many religious friends. I feel like I have a comfortable place to talk about my thoughts.I'd love to get know you all  :D

Welcome Shaffy.

As an old guy, I should warn you that you will be enduring believers your whole life. On the bright side, being right makes it a little easier.

You will always have religious friends. Generally speaking, changing the subject is usually wiser than arguing all the time.

Except here. Our religious friends at WWGHA love to talk shop. For whatever reason, they seem to love being the fish being shot in a barrel. Why they make it so easy, I'll never know. Having nothing to work with probably contributes, but I'd think they would put up more of a fight.

But we have fun. Stick around and have some with us.

It isn't true that non-existent gods can't do anything. For instance, they were able to make me into an atheist.

I edit a lot of my posts. The reason being it to add content or to correct grammar/wording. All edits to remove wording get a strike through through the wording.

Welcome Shaffy.
Good point. I think not spending your whole life waiting for a next one means we make the most of this one.
Enjoy your time here.

Welcome Shaffy (like the name).

If you keep on living your life as though your purpose is to be saved and go to heaven, you are missing the heaven that you are living in right now.
