Howdy folks. My name is Bruce, I am an ExChristian and an atheist. I am also one of the admins for Ex-Christian.net. While I appreciate ExC, I also want a forum to talk with other atheists, like myself. I have moved to what some have called the post-atheist phase in my life. By that, I mean religion has no interest for me in any personal exploratory aspect. I still wonder about it from a sociological and psychological aspect, like a micro-biologist is interested in bacteria.

Hello Bruce,

Nice to have another Ex-Christian on board (I was Catholic myself).
How long were you in for?

I'll check out your other site as well...

Welcome aboard,

Hey Bruce, welcome. Ex-Chrisitans is a wonderful site, I especially like many of the letters people send in...did you help to create ExC?

Woody & All,

I was a Christian until around 32 years of age. I was raised in a non-fundamentalist Southern Baptist tradition and drifted over to the Presbyterian Church when the fundy takeover of the SBC occurred. I finally realized the profound truths of my doubts when I was taking graduate apologetics for a masters degree to be a minister/counselor. It took me a while to let go of the beliefs I had been raised in and I labelled myself a deist for a few years, until I realized that the same foundational reasons that lay behind my inabaility to believe in the Abrahamic god, applied to the deistic version as well.

I am one of the co-founders, is you choose to view it that way, of Ex-Christian.net Forums and am one of the Site Administrators. I am Bruce on Ex-C Forums as well. I was a debator in college and debate is still one of my passions, most of my personal time on ExC is spent debating theists in the Arena or Coloseum areas.

Just nitpicking, I love your signature but shouldn't it be "schizophrenic" instead of "schitsophrenic"?

Schizophrenia (ic) is the proper spelling. It is deliberately misspelled for a reason. It is a play off of a quote from "Fundies Say the Darndest Things"

Sorry, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!

The coorect answer is the following question: "African or European Swallow?"

THen all those who are for against ambivalent against for anti somewhat against him say, "PEN-PEN-PEN-PENGUINS!!!" and must perform a silly dance as well.
