Hi

[MrsV]

Hi there

New to this forum so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm 32 from north east England, married, mother of one.

I'm a lifelong atheist from a family of atheists. I was raised in family that has always encouraged debate and learning and was given the tools from a young age to be able to form my own views.  I am now raising (along with my husband) my daughter in the same way.

I was always the kid in school that caused distruption by being the first to dare to suggest that that wasn't a god and it wasn't compulsory to 'believe' - no small wonder that as I hit my late teens I became a punk...

These days I'm way more sensible and responsible...kind of.

So hello

[Tank]

Hi MrsV

Welcome aboard.

Regards
Chris

Hello MrsV
I didn't know punks were still roaming North East England as late as 1994.
