[color=#] [/color]Just joind today, but I've been out of the closet for awhile I thought It might be fun to have a conversation with someone without having to defend my beliefs (or lack thereof).

I've been in fox holes, I'm still an atheist -Me-

God is a cake, and we all know what the cake is.

(my spelling, grammer, and punctuation suck, I know, but regardless of how much I read they haven't improved much since grade school. It's actually a bit of a family joke.

Dude, I just signed on, and saw you did, too.

I have been in worse than foxholes, believe you me. But here is a little initial military experience you may find amusing...

In Navy bootcamp, there was an initial session in the barracks where the company commander went from man to man, and grilled them on their religion - and generally, ripped 'em a new one.

He got to me, got in my face, and asked my faith. I was the first, and last, to remark - "I'm an Atheist, sir!"

Rather than grill me, he smiled, winked, and said - "Good for you - so am I." He then pummeled the next guy for several minutes.

I loved him thereafter, and was vastly rewarded in it - a Damn Fine Man he was, Mr. D. Runyon.

Welcome to the boards
It is so very nice to have a place to chat with others who chose to not believe.
Freethought and Toasters have never killed anyone.
Everything you need to know about life can be learned from Toasters.

WELCOME TANKER! Did you choose to be a tanker or were you born that way? LOL Sorry, a little atheist humor there...

Or maybe it's just me!
