I'm Apathy. I'm not quiet an atheist but I'm on the way there. I would think I am an agnostic with a strong atheist lean. I hope we can all get along and watch this cat fall into potatoes.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and people say I look like Jeff Goldblum.
Hi! Welcome to the forum! I'm sure you'll fit in around here if you use enough gifs. ;)
Hi Apathy, and welcome to the forum. I think many of us here have been at the point you find yourself with regards to atheism and straddling the line between agnosticism and atheism.
Then one day you wake up and you realize, hey...I'm a fucking atheist. Cool.
By the way we do have one rule here at the forum, and that is no pictures of kats or nuns are allowed, whether it's a cutesy gif, or a funny meme.
So remember no kats, no nuns. Period. (Even if like your gif the kat is being tortured by being dipped in hot potatoes)
By the way you do remind me of Jeff Goldblum now that you mention it....I liked him in his early days, when he was in the "Bill Chill", or "The Right Stuff", now he's kinda weird.
People say I look like a potato.

Oh, my
Asmo! You look like the black shinny leather pants-wearing, lady-killing mathematician who is obsessed with the essence of chaos, Dr. Ian Malcolm?

That is the best GIF I've seen in a long time, around here.
Welcome,
Apathy. :grin:
Hi :grin:
Sorted your .gif link.
I'm a never-theist atheist so I watch with amazement, and not a little pleasure, when I see a theist shrug off the cloak of superstition and find the atheist underneath.
Welcome to HAF.

Welcome to HAF, Apathy.
I hope you like it here. BTW we do love cats (with the exception of Bruno) and I can't recall any film that Jeff Goldblum made after "Cats & Dogs".

Hello Apathy, and welcome to the forum! :spagwelcome:
:popcorn:
I've been watching that cat fall into mashed potatoes for about 3 minutes now, does it do anything else? :P It's like looking at fish in a bowl, kind of pointless but I can't take my eyes off them.
Thank you all for the welcomes. I can see you're all much more relaxed then I thought. Nice.

Sorry Apathy, but see what kind of folks populate this place?
By the way if you have questions or concerns regarding Avatars, here's a good place to

It's a kat, which is the best avatar one can have. BTW, wasn't PC supposed to pick out an avatar for you?

I was expecting a lot of trolls and very grumpy people. I don't know many atheists and have heard ghost stories. Although, I see some nice ones online on YouTube so that tells a very different story. What brought me to that idea was reading the rules about being angry when posting, so I expected that, which I haven't found yet.

Welcome to the forum Apathy. Please excuse my peers here. They are on a weekend clown session. We do have fun here even though we are labeled by the masses as bad guys. Hang around and you will see that we all care for one another, we are not flaming militants or mass murderers, We are just a bunch of fairly intelligent people who talk to each other about damned near anything. Incidentally, we have a few members who are far more than "fairly" intelligent. You will get to know them and probably like them.

A lot of atheists pop out their heads on religious films. Mainly protestant ones because they suck so much.
Most protestant Christian films are so awful and I believe the reason is because they mainly view the Bible as literal. Therefore they transfer that literalism over into films. And films, for the most part, aren't supposed to be literal. And that's why almost every single film made by protestants fail: no imagination.

As long as you don't get any racists. I hate racists, and I will tell them that to their face and make them cry. I actually did that once. I made him cry with just words. Online, I usually drive them to leave for websites that allow them to be members.

Shrek says "what are you doing in my swamp?" in one of his movies. I thought that fit the situation, only it's not a swamp, it's a thread. So "what are you doing in my thread?" The gif was just funny to me.

You are the reason I use GIFs.
The guys were harassing you here, and you posted this one,
(https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FVI7aOqy.gif&hash=33b4cc19776d46379545c52bc0702438fb4df2ae)
I thought, "What a wonderful way to express what you're feeling!"
So, I figured out what, where, how, and I started posting them. I even asked if "those little images" had sound :snicker:--I didn't even know what they were called--and
Crow said, they didn't have sound.
The rest is history...
So, thank you. :hug:
Haha you can thank Tumblr because that's where the trend of using reaction GIFs started for me. Plus I can't help it that Supernatural has a GIF for everything.
