I have been a member of two other atheist forums for some years, but recently I decided to branch out a bit. Heard of this forum and decided to see what was happening here.

As far as age is concerned, I'm over-the-hill. Not old, but I feel old sometimes. Okay, okay, I am forty-two.

I have identified as an atheist for at least half of my life. My views tend to be liberal leaning, though I don't always agree with everything presented on the left. I vote Democrat because I'm a rational human being.

Another big part of my identity is being gay. I have known that I was gay since I was a teenager, never been with a woman romantically or sexually, and I have been in a relationship with the same man for more than twenty years.

I reside in the sunshine state of Florida where I work in the healthcare field as a CNA. Yes, I did work through the pandemic; it wasn't easy. As far as I know, however, I've never had Covid.

As for hobbies, I'm mostly a gamer. Playstation platform, although I still haven't managed to get a PS5. Currently, I am replaying AC Valhalla for the, I think, fourth time.

I'm usually a huge fan of watching television and movies, Netflix mostly, but I've been taking a break from that. I did visit the movie theatre for the first time in years recently, saw the remake of Firestarter when it premiered. The boyfriend and I want to make a habit of going to the theatre on a regular basis.

As far as atheistic reading material is concerned, the biggest inspiration I have found is Robert Green Ingersoll. Sure, he is identified as "The Great Agnostic", but the quality of his works resonates so perfectly with atheism.

Well, I think that's it for now. I don't want to bore you with too long an introduction. Besides, if I'm going to be posting here, there will be plenty of time to get to know more about me.

Welcome  :) I started a biography of Robert Ingersoll a while back and keep meaning to circle back to it.

Welcome Wolfe. I think you will find the folks on here are decent and level headed. There may be exceptions! Hell for all I know I might be one of them!

Enjoy yourself.
