Title: Chiming in with the growing list of newbies!
Post by: Gibson on November 19, 2007, 09:46:03 PM
Hello!

As concisely as possible: I'm Gibson.  I grew up Christian and then became Catholic.  Several months ago, I stopped the persistent struggle of forcing myself to believe in Christianity.  Much research followed and here I am.  A happy atheist.   I do have some family unrest because of my decision, but I can't waste my energy worrying about their reactions.  I'm still a decent person - none of those morals have changed.  I just can't go on pretending that it's real.  Once you get out of Plato's allegorical cave, you can't go back.  

I enjoy intelligent discussions, can be a sarcastic, smart alack sometimes, and look forward to sharing ideas and questions.

Ello Jello! Lmao, jokes, welcome to the forums Gibson! My name's Simone, yours is Gibson, and yeah... Okay.... I'm going to go to bed now.... (Simone steps away from the keyboard. Slowly...Slowly distancing herself from the keyboard.... Leaves the room..... And then decides not to go to bed, but to eat some cheese...)
