Hello all. I'm new here and I have recently became Atheist. Well I guess I have been for sometime, I just never thought about it much before. I was raised Southern Baptist. Early on I disagreed with many of the things the church was preaching. But because of family I didn't question my beliefs.
I haven't been able to tell many people in my life about my views. I am fortunate to have a loving wife who shares my beliefs, I also have two wonderful kids.
I have been looking for a place to talk to others that have like beliefs. I found this forum, and I look forward to talking to you all.
Welcome, Jesster85. Very glad to hear that your wife shares your views. It is difficult when you do not share them.
Nice to have a good 'ol Southern Baptist (reformed) among us!
Welcome, welcome…
Well you have come to the right place! There are a lot of really great people here. I was also raised in the south as a Baptist. I hope you enjoy this forum as much as I do. Look forward to your thoughts. It is a rather calm and relaxing corner of the internet even amongst the debate.
Welcome, Jesster85.
My brother converted from Roman Catholic to some type of Baptist. (I'm not sure which "flavor" he chose.) I shook off the shackles of Catholicism for atheism, so maybe he was adopted (as I always suspected as a child).
Enjoy your stay here with us.
Thanks for the welcome everyone. Happy to be aboard.
Hi Jesster... welcome. I was raised Lutheran, but never really believed. I'm looking forward to hearing more about you!
Hi Jesster85 - welcome! I've got too kids, also. 3 and 6. Both girls. They're growing up "without god". Cheers!
