In the fall of 2009 I googled for information on Gobekli Tepe.  It happens to be one of the oldest monuments/structures of civilization ever found, and news of it really shook the foundations of anthropology.  One of the top listings was a great blog about what the Gobekli Tepe site meant in terms of the history of civilization and religion.  In the comments section the ideas were flying back and forth and I wanted in to the discussion so I created an account on the site.  That site was this site, ThinkAthiest.com!  Now, a year and a half later, I'm a very active member.

 

So, how did YOU come to find ThinkAtheist?

Check out "top content" > National Atheist Awareness Day. I think if we all get the word out we will see just how many of us there are.
TA>hot topics>top content>National Atheist Awareness Day

Somebody who I met at another atheist website told me about this one. I asked him if they allowed theists and when he told me yes, I told him I was not interested in a bunch of pointless aruging. I can't remember now what finally made me decide to give it a try, but it was probably just so I could see his posts.

 

Once I started reading here, I liked it much more than my other regular forum I was on. It seemed to be much more active and the subjects were more interesting. I've not found anything comparable since.

Random google search, I cannot remember what for.
I have also found it through Stumbleupon. Haven't really explored it yet, but I plan to as soon as I have some more free time.
I didn't find it, it found me.
It was a calling for you?
Only crazy people hear voices. I'm not crazy.

It found me when I searched google. I wasn't looking for a comunity, just researching to learn more and when the link showed a social network I was like "YAHEAHHA" literally all capital.
I followed Sam Harris on twitter, and I believe Monica came up also as a follower of Sam Harris too, and then I followed her, and the rest is history. So yea, Monica's fault basically.

TA was recommended by my younger daughter...she's a member - after I revealed I was struggling with faith.    A close friend told me she couldn't do without her catholic faith - admitting indoctrination by her parents.  I couldn't do without TA and its sanity.

 

Digressing here - thank you Heather S for answering a previous post and your understanding.  It made me feel I was a member here....

I'm really glad to hear that.  I've found a great little internet home/family here as well.
