Title: Rageful Ex-Christian
Post by: BearClaw on March 26, 2009, 08:59:10 PM
Hey.

Wanted to say hi.

I'm newly liberated from christiantiy, and I still have a lot of negative feelings and anger towards the whole fucking shibang-a-bang of a religion...

I found you guys and like what I saw :)

So, Hi from me.

Glad to meet you! I'm a recent ex-christian, so I know the feeling. Try not to be to angry towards religion though, because christians just love to see an angry atheist. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it here!

Welcome to the forum.

If I may impart some of my experience, anger with religion is something to work through. It's not unreasonable at all to have a strong emotional response after discovering you've been had, in fact I'd say it's downright normal, but don't let it become a part of you. I've seen vengeful and hateful atheists, and they're not what I'd call "happy atheists".

thanks Sally.

I'm sure it will.

I'm not 100% sure what to call myself. I honestly don't think there is a god, but I kinda still want there to be one so that I can stay mad at him...ya know? I'm sure some of you do.

Anyway, I think technically, I'm an Agnostic Atheist.

Thanks for all the hellos! :)
