Hi Steve

I took the liberty of spliting off your post into its own thread as everybody deserves their own introduction thread  ;D

Welcome to HAF

Regards
Chris

Hi Stev and welcome! Look forward to chatting to you.

Tell us some more about yourself - where are you from, for example? I'm originally from the UK but now live in Italy, where being an atheist (or a theological noncognitivist, to be pompous about it) is less of a problem than you might expect.

Yo Steve, Hi and welcome. Yeah, I like your views but not your punctuation. It's fine for short posts but it gets to be a struggle if you are writing more than one line. Be merciful to the older gits. ;D
Oh, and not too heavy on the religion stuff till after your 10th post. I got done for that and had to stand in the corner for 4 hours!!!

LOL! You fibber!  :D

You spent 4 hours on the naughty step by mistake. My mistake because I didn't notice who was sharing an IP and your mistake because you never told me a second member was going to turn up on the same IP as you!  :P

I think you'll find that Becca does believe in God. We do have a smattering of Christian and Muslim members to, it's not a good idea to assume everybody here is an atheist lol.

No, that happened later. I had my Intro thread (Why I am not an atheist) moved to Religion out of my reach and [start humorous fib]then I had the bejeezus beaten out of me[end humorous fib]

Well, of ourse he did! After all, from what our religious friends seem to think, ahteists tend to stay away from foxholes and other places where a guy is likely to get holes poked in his hide  :P

Well the army was interesting. Most people are religious and don't like to hear otherwise. From what im gathering here I need hold back on the more "risky" stuff for now. So until I get my 10 post feel free to ask me anything. I'll try to answer everything as best as possible. Thanks all keep the questions coming my friends.

Ever been deployed abroad..?

Tell about if you have. I like war stories from far-away places, even when they do not involve actual fighting.
