I live in the heart of the bible belt, I just quit the faith thing, I want to learn.

I say agnostic because so far nothing I've seen has technically disproven the existence of a god.  I say "but...." because I honestly don't think it matters if one exists at this point. 

Welcome, Brent, sounds like you'll fit right in here.  All things considered, I don't see how it could possibly be absolutely proven how life, the universe and everything came into existence, much less whether a who or a what was responsible.  All we've got are our individual guesses and for the life of me I've never been able to understand why one person's guess should carry any more weight than another's.  I don't guess at all because I don't think it matters.

Just to be picky, I don't think it's actually possible to disprove the existence of anything, whether it's god or fairies or the invisible dragon that lives in my garage.  You can only provide proof that things do exist unless you cheat, like I do with my dragon, and claim to rely on faith as proof.

Hi Brent. Sad to hear about the whole center-of-the-Bible-belt thing. Good luck with that. I can guarantee that you will most definitely be enlightened by the knowledge here. Once joining HAF, faith will never be looked at the same way again. Can't wait for you to reach your tenth post so we can really start a conversation. :) Oh, and be warned, some of us are a bit strange... ;)

Stange, I have no idea what you talking about  ::)
Sure you don't. Why would you ever? There's nothing odd about you in the slightest. *chokes on the lie* ;) ;D

You better believe it  ;D
Strange but not a stranger<br /><br />I love my car more than I love most people.

You've got an invisible dragon too?  No one believes me when I tell them.

I've got a ninja who lives in my closet and he rides a unicorn to my house. It keeps kicking the roof though, so we might need a better parking spot...

Oh no, he's a great ninja, the unicorn is for me, and I hired him. That's the only reason I know he's here.
