Hi Red

Welcome to HAF.

I have taken the liberty of splitting off your first post into its own thread. Everybody gets their own intro thread

Looking forward to reading part 2.

If Icarus comments, and he usually does, he was born in 1930 and watched the attack on Pearl Harbour and then bummed around the USA with his dad who was a stock car racer. You sound a bit like him.

Regards
Chris

Welcome to the board.

Hello and welcome to HAF, Red_Cloud. I've spent a fair percentage of the last ten years on and off in a village just south of Guildford, though that's not much of a connection. I hope you enjoy your time reading and posting here.

Welcome, Red_Cloud. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your part 1, which somehow had a feeling of Thomas Hardy about it. Do you enjoy Hardy's novels?

I used to loath my RE teacher at secondary school Mr Creaser. In about 1974 when I was 14 he got a Sikh kid to stand up in class (he was the only Sikh in the school) and said 'This is an example of a person who will go to hell!' I was so angry I walked out of the class. I was sent to Mr Bailey the head of discipline. He said to me 'Creaser is a nutter, just ignore him.' I liked Mr Bailey The Sikh kid never came back to our school.

Roll on part 3!

Hello Red_Cloud...
Welcome.

Thanks for the interesting introduction Red Cloud.   You may find many HAF virtual friends of similar persuasion.

You will be most respected and welcome here unless you are one of the deceitful trolls that we encounter from time to time. I trust that is not the case

For now, I bid you Welcome and urge you to become a participant in our caring little group. 

In the American Idiom, your screen name would suggest that you are a native American.  As a real live Brit I reckon that that is not part of your ancestry.

Welcome, Red_Cloud! Is your moniker an indication of an evil effluvium from eating red hot chili peppers? I ask because of some results I have had in the past.

Red Cloud, G'day from the land of Oz.  I enjoyed your three part intro. I too had a revelation, only I was a bit slow and had mine at age 14.  There I was sitting in a jacaranda tree at the front of my maternal grandparents house, struggling with the issues of life, the universe and everything when KA-POW! It hit me that I simply did not believe any of the supernatural stuff and most especially the idea of an omniscient, omnipresent, all powerful, beneficent deity.  I realised it was all total bollocks and I have never since looked back.  I'm a mere 61 years old now, but I cannot see me ever changing my ideas about god and godstuff.  Hope you enjoy the forum.

You write well Red Cloud.   Please keep it up.

Pleased that you know about the native Americans and something of their plight.  I too believe that they were in closer touch with reality than the  bible people who persecuted and displaced them.
