Welcome!

Thanks! What's your avatar supposed to be?

[Wrath]

I will also add my welcome. I was also an Episcopal alter boy.You will find that we are all nice frendly sharks here. Excuse me while I go sharpen my teeth.

I'll try not to flounder about like a seal. Nice to meet you!

*Cough* Only one more! *Cough*

Hello Scott

Well you've made your 10 posts, and very good they were to, so you're free to roam the board.

Welcome to HAF 

Regards
Chris

Hi, welcome.

I think we try to encourage differing opinions here, for the most part. Things get a bit heated sometimes, but attacking each other isn't allowed. I was also an altar, um, child when I was little, though I was raised in the Catholic church.

Puddin' is also correct -- he does have the best hats.

Please tell me you have a photo of that you must have looked utterly adorable!!!

Welcome, Wrath.  You'll find this place ideal for a bit of civilised argument.  Just beware of the Pudding, the Asmo and take no notice of anything I say.

Welcome.  I look forward to hearing about the non liberal aspects of your political views in the future, as they happen to be 2 of the main views when concerning us liberals.

Hi Wrath!  Welcome!  I think you'll find some diversity of thought here (Scissorlegs is our resident fat cat conservative; not sure how he feels about abortion though.)  I hope you enjoy your time here.

Hi everybody! Nice to meet you.

My name is Scott. I am a student, a Californian, a queer, and a heathen. I wanted to meet more atheists and tried out a different forum prior to this one but some of the people there were extremely rude and attacked me over one of my opinions without even discussing it rationally.

Hi Scott.  Welcome to HAF.  I'm not a student, I am a Californian, I'm not a queer nor a heathen, though I am sinful and probably more sinful than most of the good people here at HAF.

I know you'll find this place a joy.  I do, and I'm an outsider here.

Abortion? Well, there's definitely a market, and potential to make money there, so fine by me 


Hi Wrath.

[Stevil]

I'm an outsider here. 

I call BS on this. AD has been part of the Happy family for years.

More passive aggressive goading and rudeness AD what a surprise.

Hi Scott.  Welcome to HAF.  I'm not a student, I am a Californian, I'm not a queer nor a heathen, though I am sinful and probably more sinful than most of the good people here at HAF.

Not meant as such, but you're the boss.  It is as you say.

[Asmodean]

Well, hello...

I dislike the idea of legalizing cannabis and think abortion should be encouraged in many cases. I think I may find you interesting. 

[AnimatedDirt]

Scott...if you took my post as passive aggressive, I apologize.  It was hardly meant in that manner.  I was being honest in that I feel I am certainly more of a sinner than some of the good atheists I've met here at HAF.  It's to my own shame.

Since it came off to our moderator as passive aggressive, I whole-heartedly offer my apology.

Welcome to HAF.  I know you'll like the people here and enjoy their company.

[Asmodean]

Oh, and don't mind the everyone-but-Asmo-seems-to-have-a-bad-day day. Usually, the situation is quite the opposite
