Title: Hi!
Post by: Eris on March 15, 2008, 01:37:01 AM
Hello all! It's so nice to find a place to interact with people of like mind.

I've been an atheist for less than a year and am still trying to grow out of some fundie Christian paradigms. It's been a struggle, but it's been rewarding so far. Rational people are the most refreshing people to be around. I'm happy finally be one.  :D

I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys!

Welcome to the forum. Also, welcome to all those folks who joined this past week. Sorry I haven't been around to respond individually, but I've been away in Phoenix all week at a business meeting. No access to the forum.

Welcome to the forum, Eris.  I hope you enjoy your time here.

I thought I felt a disturbance in the force!  Next time, send me an email and we'll get together for a beer.


Do this you will....(https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi89.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk227%2FMommaSquid%2Fsmileys%2Fyoda.gif&hash=8ada321a2c91e187d49bd0ddb0de865793f79530)

Give yourself time to let go of the old Xtian beliefs & become more comfortable in your atheist skin.  Sometimes, I find myself being drawn back into what I was taught as a child. However, atheist thought will feel like an "old hat" after awhile. WELCOME TO THE BOARD!

Yeah, along about Wednesday afternoon I realized that I could have given you a heads-up before I arrived. I was kicking myself for not remembering to tell you I'd be in town. I would have enjoyed hanging out one evening with you.

I promise, next time I'm in your neck of the desert, I'll holler ahead of time. Drinks are on me!
