I'm the webmaster of AtheistExile.com. I retired early, at the age of 52, in June of 2006. I've been in the Philippines ever since as an American expatriate.

Why are you here?
To enjoy the company of my fellow atheists.
The religion you left
Christian
Why you left your religion.
Because NOBODY knows ANYTHING about the supernatural and God is as supernatural as it gets.
I am glad that I notice the Free Will group! Thanks for the link, I have been meaning to read that post (midterms this week plus two piano concerts have strained my reading time). I have to confess that I am fairly ignorant on different theories of free will, so I am excited to participate in some discussions and hopefully broaden my understanding of the issue. :D And I <3 Rush! It is still hard to believe that it is really only three guys playing; they are amazing musicians.
I hope your midterms are going well . . . and what's this about two piano concerts? That's very cool. My ex-wife was a Julliard-trained musician (clarinet and piano) and has many friends in the music biz. I envy those who make their living with music.
Hey AE ,You ask what a pearlist is . Well it's a little hokey but I like the acronym .P.E.A.R.L or Phyical Evidence And Reasoned Logic. It comes from a utube user by the name of Thunderf00t ,the video is called rejecting atheism .You should give it a look he has made some great vids.
Thanks for the add, AE! I have been writing for a non-blog project for the past couple of weeks, which has absorbed much of my time and creative energy. However, I did manage to post one this evening, at both ThinkAtheist and WordPress, and I think you will like it. It is under the heading, "In Honor of National Death Month".
TAG.
YOU'RE IT.
Go here when you have a moment. This is silly and just for fun. Don't forget to tag three other people and post this message on their profile pages, too.
I don't come around this site very often but I enjoy it nonetheless.
Sorry to hear about your father. *hug* Mine died 20 years ago. It tore apart my family and my mother has never been the same. I worked at processing the loss and grief. I went on to create my own family afterward but of course I'll always miss my father. I made a study of loss and grief. I could recommend some books that might be useful to you if you are interested.
I agree with you about gospel. I also believe that gospel music also taps into sexuality but maybe it's just me?
I'm totally going to check out your music player! Thank you for your PM.
Thanks! You pinned it - I was born in 83 and am from Tacoma. Sadly, I now live in Spokane (I don't ... hate Spokane. I just don't like it and would much rather be home).
Thanks for the welcome. :) It's nice to know that people of all religions are welcome here but sheesh, I sure hope there aren't very many fundies. :) Thanks again!
i'm afraid more of ppl who act by themselves, coz ppl r religious here and really believe that killing me will please their god!! The authorities wont search for "infe dels" on the internet and catch them, at least thats what i think. but there r some crazy ppl out there who think doing that is J i h a d.
dont think because of what i say that i live in a chaotic country, no i live a happy safe life here, there r no terrorists in every corner like u would imagine, but some ppl cud do bad and evil things and ignore police for their religion!!
LOL..Oh ty for responding to the post! I decided to delete it...maybe "too much" too soon?! A bit over my head...I will indeed check out the suggestions you gave me...thanks so much!
my name was given by a friend of my father who's happened to be a japanese soldier which sadly i have never met because he went back to japan when i was born...guess he's from okinawa hence my name :)
