Title: Hello free thinkers
Post by: thenorthernweeman on June 18, 2011, 09:39:39 PM
Great, a site to vent my thoughts.  I am a 38 year old Lancashire lad living in the heart of Cornwall UK.  Coming from an catholic Irish family on my mums side I spent my early years being preached at from year dot to my early teens in order to get in to a good catholic school.  At 14 my mother was starting to question her 'faith' and was encouraged to follow my own path and make my own decisions regarding my beliefs.  Although I was still attending a Catholic school I was starting to question the Catholic Church and its teaching, especially in Religious Education classes directly - but still got C in G.C.S.E.  My long suffering girlfriend has been the one to suffer my vents over the last 17 years after a few glass of red wine, now I can share with other like minded free thinkers (eventually).   I hope I will be welcome. Regards
