Hi everybody!
I'm Alex, and I have also come over from phatmass, along with several others. I'm 19, I'm a high school senior, and a former atheist/agnostic. I'm now Catholic.
Hopefully we can have some interesting discussions in the future!
Welcome Alex!
Another convert to theism? Those sort of things interest me, so I hope you stick around :)
Welcome.
Howdy!

Welcome to HAF

Hello Alex.
The Catholics are invading us. Is this a declaration of war? Soon they'll be demanding that the forum should be renamed 'Happy Catholics.'
Just kidding. Welcome to HAF.

A happy small c catholic forum would be OK.
My house contains three Catholics and me. They don't feel obliged to take the pope seriously though.
Welcome amppax

We atheists are evil. We have no morals. I used to have horns sticking out of my head but I had them surgically removed. They were such a nuisance; especially when I went to the hairdressers. And wearing a hat was out of the question.

We also worship the devil. Even though we don't believe in him. Total Satan-worshippers. AND we're pinko-commies.

They taught you well. We atheists are beyond the pale. We're a bunch of hedonists. You would be wise to avoid us, we're a bad influence ;D

Hello Amppax
I really do hope that some of your preconceived perceptions are changed (for the better, not the worse) on this site. That way at least your visit to HAF has provided value and improved your view of Atheists. Not that you have a bad view, but it is always good to discover something new.
BTW don't listen to Maria, we're not all Satanists, I hardly ever talk to Satan these days, not that I'm angry with him, just lost touch.

A lot of my preconceived perceptions already have, and I've only been here shortly (and yes, its been for the better). I would agree, it is always good to discover new things!

Satan knows you've lost touch, and Satan is sad. He misses you...

Oh, now I'm sad.
I don't believe in Satan anymore.
I've wasted dozens of useful goats, and I'm still not ruler of the world.
Jeez, the people in my street don't even do what I tell 'em.
A nice top hat will cover your horns, if this isn't your style you could consider a career as a chef.

The Mayans said that all the time. Then one day Cortez showed up.

My wife is doing a History masters at the moment and is studying early 20th century politics in the UK. It's proving to be very interesting. I don't find myself hiding when she asks me to proof read things!

So Alex, how old were you when you converted from Atheist to Catholic?
Was it a gradual change or was there a defining moment? Perhaps a religious experience.
Anything you care to share?
