Hey,

I'm new here.  My name is Monika, I'm 22 and from Chicago.  Raised Catholic; always figured there were some nice ideas in it, but hated the power and control of religion.  Can't push myself to believe in the godâ,,¢ bit.

Hi!  Former Chicagoland resident here.  Welcome to the board :D

Hi Monica

Although English I have spent 6 months working in Chicago. Love the place.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Welcome to the forums.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

Welcome to the forum, Monika. Glad to have you here. Hope you enjoy the group. I'll be in Chicago for ASCO this year.  What a great town, I always love being there.
