Hello my name is Charley Gardner. I am a resident in Utah County which for anybody that doesn't know is ground zero for Mormonism. My wife is Mormon so I'm sure you can imagine what that must be like. I'm looking for an abundance of people like me so I'm guessing this site will be positive for me. I get ganged up on constantly by my peers, family, and friends all the time. Pretty much implying "with love" haha that I'm doomed and will pay for it in hell. Not with those words but without Jesus I'm screwed pretty much. Of course I don't buy this because I pretty much feel that Jesus is Santa Clause for adults. I'm sure i came to the right place right?

Welcome to HAF.  There are a lot of non-believers here so if you are seeking like minds you've come to the right place.

Thank you! Non-believer I am and its  something I take such pride in. I feel like one of the lucky ones. One of the ones to decode several thousand years of bs. As my parents were trying to indoctrinate me as a child something was always telling me that it wasn't right. I'm thankful I didn't sell out and just take the easy path of acceptance with my life and destiny already laid out for me. Follow the rules and search for truth they say but your only allowed a very narrow truth searching parameter. Which is bs obviously. Thank you for having me and I will be an asset to this site you have my word

Hello

I'm aware of Utah.
Features of interest: salt lake.
Chief export: Mormons on bikes.

We do have our own salt lakes, could have done without the Mormons, nice to meet a sensible Utahganarian though.

Any particular reason it's spelled "Charley" and not "Charlie"?

Parents fault. I believe it to be the female version of the name as well. Harsh considering I'm male. Charles is my real name though. I like all my names though. I like chuck because it rhymes with some word which I forget.
