Top of the morning to you all

[BobTheEvilPenguin]

Hello all,

I've just joined as I feel the need to be somewhere with like minded sceptics!

My wife and step-kids are Catholic and my wife (with whom I spend the most time) steadfastly refuses to debate religion as she sees it as a slight on her character. She also will not accept that my beliefs are as valid as hers. There's nothing as intolerant as a Catholic, is there...?

Anyway, hello to you all - looking forward to getting to know you

Welcome Bob
I don't think any of the penguins here are evil.
Of course they could just be pretending to be benevolent.
They do look a bit shifty.

You're not just cross dressing to annoy your wife are you?

Hi BtEP

Didn't you have a staring roll with Wallace and Grommet a few years ago in 'The Wrong Trousers.' playing the part of Feathers McGraw?

So what was it like being fiddled with by animators all day?  

Welcome aboard.

Regards
Chris

Welcome to the forum!  My experience with Catholics has been all over the place, from crazy mean and rude to super nice and accepting.  It seems to me that generally people tend to be intolerant to a degree - religion just gives some people an excuse not to actively try to change that aspect of themselves.  Anyway, I hope you like it here!

Welcome Bob.  I think you'll find here the opportunity for discourse you're missing with your wife.
