Hello, I'm a new member. I decided I needed a place to talk with like-minded people. I detest religion and ignorant people, and I can't help myself when I see them in action. I always feel the need to confront those that believe and preach such foolishness. I'm not sure why I do it. I guess I simply feel the need to divest people of their ridiculous notions. It's the same feeling I get when someone brings up UFOs and such.
I absolutely don't believe in the existence of any god(s). But my hatred for religion is separate from my atheism. My journey began with my hatred of religion to be sure. I probably wouldn't have questioned my belief otherwise. But I never let my opinion of religion influence my search. I came to the unavoidable conclusion that there just isn't any evidence for the existence of a god or gods, and that "God" exists only in the holy books, and the margins of science. I could come to no other conclusion if I was going to live an honest life. It was a hard truth to learn, but it is the truth. However, even if there was a god, and he was my best buddy, I would still detest religion-- especially the monotheistic ones.
Apart from all of that, I'm just a normal guy making his way through life and enjoying it as much as I can without doing any damage along the way. Anyway, just wanted to say hey, and give you a quick overview of what I'm about.

Oooo... it's a nice day for newbies! Welcome, I'm Kerri and I, too, went looking for a place to talk to like-minded people as I have none but my husband here where I live... and I do love him, but we've talked it all out already and we know what we have to say. :lol:
We share the same ideas on organized religion, Steve... You put it so succinctly! Great intro!
Welcome Steve Reason!!!! Another Hoosier Atheist! (Steve, i think we might be the only two out here....bah ha ha!!)) No, cuz like rlrose, my sweetieman is an atheist too. THANK GOD! :lol:
Can you believe all these storms we are having ??
If it's a cool rain, send some here! I'm sweltering here in the NW! And I LOVE rain! (Well, not as much as YOU'RE getting...) :-)
Willkommen, Steve!
Very passionate intro. I, too, share a distaste for the religious. However, I don't think my distaste is as focused and, dare I say, mean. I tend to go with the whole "live and let live" philosophy. But, if challenged, i don't take matters lightly. So welcome, and enjoy your stay!
Welcome to the forum, Steve Reason. Thanks for the intro.
Hi Steve - I agree, god is right out; but UFOs are real! The aliens are among us, and their purpose is nefarious - hide your children!
Nah, I'm just kidding, of course. Welcome to the forum (and good name by the way, I find it strangely appealing.....)
:wink:
8) Cool! Another new member.
Welcome to the forum, Steve Reason.

What! That can't be true! I'm just viewing eight seasons of the X-Files in one go, so I'm definitively sure that UFO's and aliens exist! :lol:
Aliens - no; Zombies and Vampires - yes.
I forgot about the zombies and vampires!!! Crap - I know that I can wear garlic around my neck to ward of the vampires, but I'm at a loss as to the best zombie defense?
Hey Steve, welcome to the forum.
