Cheers, Glen. It's good to meet like-minded atheists in the Denver area.

No Problem :)

Thanks, looking forward to meet people w the same ideas! :) 

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome, Glen!  

Thank You!

Right?  Still can't fathom how anyone can read the bible and take it seriously.  The cosmos is beautiful and amazing without the need to invoke a creator.  I say the creationists underestimate the scope and grandeur of the cosmos.  

Perhaps not that wild. lol. I live in the desert in the west central part.

i totally agree with you. this one should be the era of knowledge, free knowledge for everyone, but people seem to prefer living in caves and being mental slaves of someone else... :/

Feels good to be here. Thanks

I cannot say I ever had the AH HAH moment. But always thought that my beliefs should always be questioned and examined. But started that examination with a vengence after reading "The Pagan Christ" by Tom Harpur. Since that time have pretty much deconstructed my belief system. 

hi glen, thank you :)

yes, it is... my parents are still catholics, but nowadays i can't justify any believer who has at least a high school qualification, because it's a nonsense.
when i talk about religion with someone who believes in god, i feel like i'm an alice in wonderland where everything is upside down, where i am the bumptious who pretends to know everything. this is simply surreal! religion causes lasting mental harm.

Thanks Glen!

Thanks Glen. Glad to be here.

Hey Glen, I live in Auckland, which is in New Zealand about 3,000 miles from Sydney. But hey I know how good you Americans are taught geography: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oilm-QbRZf8

I lived in Australia for 35 years though and know it pretty well, I've also lived in the US and Canada on and off for about 5 years and in India  for 12 years which was where I originally got my tan.
