Greetings comrades!
I am an anti-theist who loves to get into religious arguments.
I am a bi-sexual,i would list myself as liberal socialist however i do not entirely oppose death sentence,I simply don't see how mass murderers would get rehabilitated in a way so they would no longer pose threat to society.
I am often outgoing and prefer being surrounded by a group of people.
I am from Slovakia.My age is 17 and first name is Branislav(''Slavic''name used mainly in Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia)
If you wish you can ask me anything you want...
Hi. Im new on the Forum also. I would be interested to know why you feel a need to be an anti-theist which kind of indicates an increased measure of hostility thru the use of the word 'anti' ... or am i just taking that wrong ?
Welcome to you both :D
Hello and welcome to HAF, Branislav. I've always liked the term "comrade." Unfortunately, it's often used derisively in the US to imply that a person is communist or suspected of having communist tendencies. Does it have that connotation in Slovakia?

Welcome to HAF. My biological mother was Czech (don't' know much other than that).
Hello and welcome!!! I wish I could borrow you for awhile in real life. I've got Jehovah's Witnesses who want to come over again, and I find it exhausting to discuss religion with someone so deluded. If you actually enjoy argueing about it, you'd have more fun with them than I will. ;)

The J.W.'s are perhaps the most brainwashed . They are almost forcefully indoctrinated . Most organized religion lends itself well to the naive.
Hello hello! Welcome to the forum comrade ;D

It's actually portrayed only as a communist term,however people have not demonized communism here as much as Americans.
Most people have a positive outlook on it here(Not in a way that they'd want it back,but more like ''Hey someone still remembers.").

I am opposed to organized religion and the general idea of god(morally)
The reason why i am an anti-theist is mainly due to ignorance,bigotry,violence and in-equality religion causes.
Also because religion brainwashes people,mainly children since they don't know any better and spreads an ignorant message on issues of today's world(Climate change,gay rights etc...)

Hi, Bran!
What does Liberal Socialism have to do with death penalty? It is, to the best of my knowledge, a form of punishment that does not depend on form of government.

Liberals are often linked with strong opposition to death penalty.
