Hi everyone,
There are times when I feel like the last human in a world full of religious zombies. I know that there are plenty of intelligent religious folks out there somewhere, but it's usually the numb-skulls that make the most noise. I'm looking for a discussion place where I don't need to justify being an atheist.
I hope HAF will become my refuge from Zombieland.
John
Hello and welcome to HAF, NHOJ. If you participate in enough discussions here, there may come a time when somebody asks you to justify your lack of belief in gods. It certainly won't be a regular occurrence, though.
I hope you enjoy your time reading and posting here. (https://www.happyatheistforum.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg830.imageshack.us%2Fimg830%2F860%2Fsmilew.gif&hash=8238eab24d16418eb1c8cd60d971239ab1363c74)

Hi John,
And a hearty welcome to you. If anyone fitting that description exists that description I've never met them. I'm beginning to think that "intelligent religious" is an oxymoron. ;)
Ciao
Welcome, John. This will be a good place for you. As for intelligent religious people, I think they keep their religious sides well insulated from their normal critical faculties. They have to, of course.
I posted here recently about a woman I knew who clearly had a high IQ and was a graduate, who claimed that in Adam's time snakes could literally talk, if that was what the bible said.

Laptop with a particularly nasty mousepad? :P
Welcome, newbie! Zombies are cool, btw. They eat brains and have green goo dripping out of them. ;D

You got it in one, Asmo! Undead? Well, fwiw, they're in the governing coalition. And shit, well they're all shit.
Hi John

The zombies in that film always did remind me of Christians!

It's the quiet ones that are the best. The clever ones make too much noise and say daft things. That's why we need a modicum of restraint and I am sure we will find that here.
I feel the same in my country. I don't understand why Albanian atheists have some many difficulties to admit that they're atheists?! ???

Hello John, and welcome. I see you and Bruce migrated here from the Reason Project.
Love the title it is very fitting. I'm from Mormonism ground zero. Any other idea about life where I come from the religious zombies can smell your dysfunctional brain from a mile away and will come running to convert you so they can be comfortable with themselves. The ego runs rampant with these fools. But what do you expect from a refurbished 2000 year old institution that breeds intolerance. Ha!
