Hi

Just wanted to say hello. I'm a mid thirties mum and advocate and have been happily atheist for as long as I can remember - I think it's genetic! I've had a scan of the site and have already been amused by the hall of shame postings. I look forward to some slightly less ridiculous discussions.

Welcome to this place of blasphemy-with-heads-held-high.  :D

I think both theism and atheism have a strong genetic component. I haven't read of many serious studies on the topic, but I think you're right. I know my family had atheists on both sides.

The Hall of Shame is a recent addition to the forum...We really don't get that many crazy theists here, the posts in there are all the ones I could find since the forum opened.

Welcome to the forum, Weedoch.  I don't think that there is a genetic component to atheism or theism per se, but we do seem to have a natural drive to understand the world around us.  I also think that we're just extra smart. :D

I totally agree, Evolved!  We're extra smart and usually very logical.  

Welcome to the forum, Weedoch.  I hope you enjoy your stay.

Thanks for all the messages. I'm loving the "extra smart" idea - it fits it with my egotistical tendencies!
