Hello from the Middle East 

I was looking for interesting discussions on a decent site so i hope i won't be disappointed. Religious views, dunno, i didn't label it as i really didn't care what it is called other than i don't believe in any deity and if it exists i still don't care because it doesn't care anyway. So i guess it's a kind of indifference, rather than atheism.

[The Magic Pudding]

Apatheism (a portmanteau of apathy and theism/atheism), also known as pragmatic atheism or (critically) as practical atheism, is acting with apathy, disregard, or lack of interest towards belief or disbelief in a deity.

Hello, you could use the apatheist label but then again why bother?

Greetings

Hi, Waitin4Godot! Welcome! I like your username. Fan of Samuel Beckett's?

Hope you enjoy HAF!

i don't believe in any deity

That's the very definition of atheism. Welcome to a new label. Use it or not, its your choice.

We run a tight ship here (members and staff), robust discussion is desirable, behaving like an arsehole is not. You look like you're going to fit in very well. Could I ask which country in the Middle East you are in? Mainly curious because we don't have many members in that area and it's nice to get an insight from on the spot as well as through the media. Asmo and G85 are in Norway and have been very interesting in their local insights into the Anders Bravik massacre.

I don't think we have any other members there. But I have come across a handful of Lebanese atheists over the years. Are you Lebanese or just living there?

[xSilverPhinx]

Welcome, I once knew someone who was Lebanese, went to the same school.

I can't wait to read your input on Middle Eastern topics, and all others of course!

I see on the TV that you have some disturbances right now between pro- and anti-Assad groups.  Have I got that right?  Are you affected by it?
