O hai! It's nice to meet you. I've been checking out the forum for a couple weeks and thought it was time for me to introduce myself. I'm an atheist, though I suffered the agony of becoming a baptized and confirmed Catholic in my youth at my parents' request insistence. However, I've never believed in God (or Vishnu or Odin or Hathor or Ra for that matter). I enjoy attempting to get people to see the flaws in their religious arguments and can sometimes be an asshole about it, but the intent is to help people see. Reality. I am hugely fascinated by the psychology of religion. I don't at all mind being told I'm wrong, in fact it's way more interesting than being told I'm right, so please do so.
