Hello, all. This would of course be my  introduction and besides being brand-new here, I am new I guess you would say, in just waking up and redefining my beliefs. New I say, and improved! I went down the Methodist road, turned on to the Baptist Beltway, went to Pagan park and then the Wiccan walk-bike-skate.. I'm trying to be 'cute' I guess.. but I have lived some of the 'been there done that'.. and am done with that. I supposed I best describe myself now as, what? A first-year atheist? LOL..
One thing I have felt since coming to this point, waking up more or less is a bit intimidated by the great knowledge of others. I consider myself intelligent and eager to learn and discover and have had some college though admittedly I dropped out. I was never a science geek and I certainly have no PhD, but I like to think I am reasonably intelligent. I am your average woman-on-the-street (ok wait.. that sounds street walkerish, hhaah) your Jane American- who doesn't buy religion.
This probably didn't come out the way I'd like, but this is long enough already. I'm hoping and looking forward to making friends and learning.

Hi Sophia!

Pleased to meet you.
Sounds like you're a very interesting person.
I hope you'll be joining in on many and varied discussions here.

Welcome!,

Glad to have you here, Sophia. Welcome! A college education does not make one any more "intelligent" than the instruction manual for Elmer's Glue.

So pull up a bean bag chair and relax.

Can't I have a chaise lounge instead?

Hi Sophia!  I don't buy religion either.  Even when it's on sale  :wink:  .

Hey, welcome to the forum.  College simply doesn't appeal to everyone, that doesn't mean you aren't intelligent.  I've known some very smart people who simply decided not to go to college for various reasons...one of them is in MENSA.  I also know a lot of stupid people who have degrees.

Sure, just don't sit in this chair - I have it reserved:

Uhm.....wow, no, no I don't think I want much of anything to do with THAT chair.. certainly couldn't wear white pants to sit on that one- don't you ever clean it? *grin*

I dig the rustic look, it adds personality.

That chair must be a pain in the ass.....
