This is my first post.  Hi all :)  God told me to come here  ::)  Lol.  I just wanted to talk with a lot of the people here.  Happy to join this new thread.  Very interested in what I have always believed, but there are so many out there (people in general) say I'm crazy.  What is that all about.  If I believe in God, I'm oust of my society.  It is not fair   >:(  I wish they could see my point of view.  In reference "God is the only way to salvation.  Anyways' nice to meet you all.  Monique

Hi Monique,

Seeing as you're not here to spread the word of God or preach to us, it's a pleasure to have you aboard ;D

HAF is a fun place to be so get stuck in. Perhaps you could tell us a bit about where you're from and what brings you here.

Have fun...

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

Well, thx for your reply.  I'm from calif, but what brings me here is quite mind boggling to me.  I'm getting ready to go to bed now, but I thought I will answer your question on what brings me here.  I am an ex Catholic.  I never enjoyed the sermons, repitition praying ect... and actually it basically turned me off..  I will start a new thread tammorw.  The Thread will headline,  "My father is making my head spin since I left that so called faith.  He is constantly quoting scriptures to me. (via the bible) I know He loves me, but I told Him that I was not ever going into a religion or any religion that makes me feel worthless.  Sorry, I'm beat right now.  Going to bed right now, but I'll probably get online tommarow, or Monday, since i have to work this whole weekend.  I'll be back to discuss why this Catholic or any religion as that has droven me mad.  LOL.  Thx.  Monique.

Hello and welcome to the forum! Looks like another Catholic bites the dust! I was baptized catholic as a baby.  Didn't go to catholic church very often.  I did make it once around Christmas time when I was a teenager. Everybody was saying merry Christmas. I shook a guys hand, looked him right in the eye and said Happy Hanukkah  ;D  My uncle also thought it was hiliarious.  They guy I said it to did not.

Welcome it looks like you should find a home here.
It appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against Christianity and theism produce hardly any effect on the public; and freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science - Charles Darwin

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the object of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a god, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. - Albert Einstein

Religion is a by product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity. - Arther C. Clarke

Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche
