And no I don't need any help, thank you very much.

In a more serious note, some of you might recognise me from atheistforums.org, where I'm an opinionated Irish man who thinks he has a sense of humour.

For those of ye who don't know me, I'm a culchie civil servant from Limerick (specifically the best parish in the best county in the best country on the best world in the best galaxy in the best universe of reality), currently mislocated in Cork (an area where the locals fancy themselves rebels, they're not, they're a bunch of soft townies; though they do make good beer, some of which I'm imbibing).

Well enough with my drunk ramblings, I'm here now, and with luck at least one percent of my postings will have the coherency and intelligence of a normal human being you'll all be very lucky.

PS if anybody here is also at Realms Beyond, how are you doing in the sixth season of the Civ AI Survivor series?
I like to pay my taxes.  With them I buy civilisation.

Did you bring the tacos?

I've been eating them since a long time.

No tacos, plenty of bacon and cabbage.

Hello and welcome to HAF, Brian Ó Seanacháin. Too bad about the tacos, but maybe only No one might hold it against you. Glad to have you aboard. I hope that you enjoy your time reading and posting here.  :maskwink:

Welcome to HAF, Brian. It sounds as if you are going to fit in well here. Just a little heads-up, though: some of the others (I will not mention any names) are a bit odd.

I resemble that remark.  Nothing odd here, just a few million jumbucks, a few roos loose in the top paddock and the occasional drop bear...

Hi ! Brian. Welcome there !

Is the username used by you is your legal name ? I ask this question because I saw rarely people using their real name on boards like this.

I'm Anthony aged of 27 years old from France.

Hi, Brian.
Welcome.

An atheist since 2005? What took you so long!?

Good question!

Brian. Are you a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist?  :grin:

Brian. Are you a Catholic atheist or a Protestant atheist?  :grin:

Are you an Atheist-Christian who just wants to overthrow the government in the name of Jesus?

Or

OR...

Do you subscribe to the commentary, by Drich, speculating on atheism as an unrecognized disability?
