You might as well just call me Dr Pepper. I'm 17, male, from southern Illinois (whoo corn and soy beans). I've been an atheist since birth, raised without religion, so I never really had anything to 'overcome' or 'shed' like many of you did. (note: I wasn't raised as an atheist, I simply never asked and my parents and I never talked about it.)
I may become an active member of your community, I may just lurk without posting, I'm not really sure.
Anyway, hello there.
Well, either way, welcome. And yeah, there's a whole lot of nothing in southern Illinois, I've been through a few times on my way up to Steger (which is probably buried in Chi on the map).
Welcome!
I'm currently looking at Southern Illinois in

maps. Looks nice and green. Some fine looking golf courses by the looks of things too!
