new to it

[radracula]

Hi there, I just signed up for the forum because I recently (a few months ago) ceased being religious altogether. I was raised Mormon, dropped out of that around 16 because I realized it was nonsense. I then transfered to basic Christianity. I knocked that off for the sames reasons, after a bunch of research and, well, asking questions no qualified person of leadership either cared to answer or had a reasonable answer for. I'm 23, Live in Portland Oregon, and am just hooking up to the forum to have productive conversations with intelligent people. Most of the folks I know that are athiest or agnostic are such because they either don't really care or out of sheer rebellion. I believe I achieved this state out of the process of reason. Because we all grant ourselves the benefit of the doubt, right. Anyways, Hi and nice to be here!
