Hello all,
I've been a lifetime atheist in a family of religious nuts, and I guess Im just seeking a community that can relate to -my- ideas and beliefs..I hope to have a productive and long stay here. Thanks for having me.
Welcome to HAF. I imagine you were raised with a religion, when exactly did you realize you were an atheist?
QuoteI've been a lifetime atheist in a family of religious nuts
The above statement just doesn't seem to fit. I don't think I've ever met a lifetime atheist who was raised by religious nuts. I'm not trying to nitpick, this just raised my curiosity.
Welcome!
What an interesting name...geist hund ;D

hmm, what's it mean?
The spirit of dog?
The Dogly spirit sounds good
Anyway welcome Geisthund
Geisthund is just a catchy handle I use, Im sure if you ran it through a translator it would be gibberish; spirit/ghost dog/wolf is close. I kinda always knew I was an atheist..I just didnt have a way of communicating it until I was older. I wasnt taken to church ever, even though my family was catholic on my mothers side and non denominational on my fathers side, my mother saved me from that pain and in a way Im sure she knew that it wasnt part of me. Sorry if I misled you with that statement.
Hello Geisthund
I hope your stay is long and fruitful. Welcome to HAF.
Regards
Chris
Welcome, look forward to your posts. Hope you find a haven!

For computer RPG's: Dragon Age Origins & II, Assassin's Creed II, and The Witcher II. Witcher is my all-time fav.
For old-time Pen & Paper - every once in a while I still indulge in DnD or Shadowrun. My brother generally runs a game a few times a year.
Good to meet you!

I miss the pen and paper games, Vampire the Masquerade was my all time favorite. Nice to meet you as well.

I only played Vampire the Masquerade once...never got into it. I realized, while playing, that I didn't actually
like vampires. Never understood the trend.

Thank you, what games are you playing as of the moment?
Just Ragnorok online at the moment. My girlfriend wants to get me into world of warcraft though.
WoW isnt worth it really, neither is RIFT, if you dont have a hardcore dedicated group end game will not be very much fun.

It's not unheard of. I grew up in a Presbyterian family, sang in the church choir for nearly ten years, rang the choir bells...and I never did believe in it. I only did this to make my parents happy...*shruggin with a grin*

I'm glad someone came to my defense on that point, was starting to feel a bit silly..I usually dont spend more than 30 seconds before I post something..so my posts usually are not the best thought out things...but I do try to get my point across in an eloquent way as possible.
Hello fellow noob lol
