It's been an interesting couple of years. Growing up in a missionary family, going to church as well as attending christian school have been, for lack of a better word, interesting if troubling. So it is nice to meet other people of a like minded state. You sort of become alienated when everyone you know and associate with are christians.
So I'm rather excited to meet atheists as you can imagine. So hey, I'm Ashik.

Permalink Reply by William C. Walker on October 8, 2011 at 2:35pm Great idea ! I have done some trolling on Xian sites. It's FUN ! Also, have had vast experience in writing letters to the editor of various papers. Responding to letters by clergy & sheep from many different flocks is a blast. I've made many friends through this - & a few enemies. More atheists need to speak out & refute the nonsense of Xianity.
Welcome Ashik, come on in the water is fine.
Hello Ashik I totally agree I have many friends who believe totally different then I.......................after all variety is the spice of life.............welcome
Permalink Reply by Steven Supinski on October 1, 2011 at 2:53pm Welcome Ashik! On the one hand the internet is great when it opens new doors like this and we revel in the newly found outlet for our thoughts. But on the other hand I sometimes wonder if putting/getting our needs met here somehow diminishes our real world by taking us away from the very people who could most benefit from our insight. Then I get over it and check my email...

I also grew up in a Christian home. Like you said it was both interesting and troubling. I am so glad that others are finding that there is more to life than being caged by what any religious group spouts.
Welcome. :)

Thank... well I don't know who to invoke... Odin was cool. Thank Odin for books.
