Hello fellow unbelievers. My name is Hobbit and I'm an alcoholic. No, I'm not- I'm just an atheist, but where I come from I might as well say 'alcoholic' and people would be less judgmental. This is my first post. I've been an atheist since age 17. I'm currently 22. My family (Hindus) doesn't care, they're cool. I'm more fortunate than most atheists who have to struggle with family because of their point of view and I really don't have an epic inspiring story about my atheism. So sorry, no screenplay.
When I'm not slacking off, I'm a lawyer.
I'm looking forward having a great time talking to you nice folk.
Cheers!

Also, I am of the the opinion that the greatest work of art inspired by religion is the Dancing Jesus.

Hi Hobbit
Is it reasonable to assume you're a LotR fan?
Welcome to HAF.
Regards
Chris

Hey Chris,
Great to meet ya! That assumption is correct. I'm also a fan of free stationery, pizza, classic rock and and swearing for no reason.

Hey Ulver! Bada Bing! (I've been watching the Sopranos on DVD.)
Tank: I'm going to consider getting myself diagnosed with it. My father happens to be a psychiatrist. Maybe I can talk him into writing me a certificate I can shove into peoples face after pulling down their pants and calling their uncle a cunt.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for the introduction. You're 22 and a lawyer?! Holy shit! How long have you been such an underachieving slacker? 
Nice to have you here. You may be able to bring a new perspective to this place. We don't have many atheists from India. None that come to mind, at least.

Not to speak for Hobbit, but I have a classmate from India (just came to the US in 2010) in my Masters program and she is only 20!!!

McQ-
Hey. It's sad that there aren't that many atheists in India, even though India had one of the world's oldest schools of atheistic philosophy. If anything, the country's problem is too much bleedin' religion. All the famous Indian 'spirituality' is all well and good if you're a hippie, but for rational minded folk its annoying at best.
Ulver-
That would make sense. Most students here, assuming they don't drop a year, have got their Bachelor's degree by age 19, so I can see how she'd be in a Master's at 20.
XSilverPihix-
I'm from Bombay. Delhi is a crap hole, but you get used to it.
