Hi there
New to this forum so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm 32 from north east England, married, mother of one.
I'm a lifelong atheist from a family of atheists. I was raised in family that has always encouraged debate and learning and was given the tools from a young age to be able to form my own views. I am now raising (along with my husband) my daughter in the same way.
I was always the kid in school that caused distruption by being the first to dare to suggest that that wasn't a god and it wasn't compulsory to 'believe' - no small wonder that as I hit my late teens I became a punk...
These days I'm way more sensible and responsible...kind of.
So hello
Hi MrsV
Welcome aboard.
Regards
Chris

Hello MrsV
I didn't know punks were still roaming North East England as late as 1994.
