Hi all,
I'm a curious type, atheist, and have not been subjected to any indoctrination of religion in my life. My parents, if they have any belief, have always kept it to themselves and so is born the 'thinking atheist' for want of a better description.
Of course, as the years pass, a free thinking person naturally develops a curiosity for those that share the planet with him but have vastly opposing views on why we are here.
I've recently been involved in a deeply 'literal bible' christian forum to try and understand a little more about the people who knock on my door every year with books about god. I've been met with mixed reaction and it's been interesting.
Moving on from that, I had intended to join a Muslim forum to try and get an angle about what drives this particular belief and I stumbled upon this one and thought it may offer the same sort of answers but without the inevitable barriers that an atheist may encounter on said forum.
So, I may not be prolific with my posts just yet but I do look forward to finding out something about a subject that is outside of my understanding.

Welcome tubbytubby
This place is destined to be filled with atheists. The freedom of speech inevitably insults the believers for in the case of most of them the faith is shaky.
Very interesting to know that your parents never shared their beliefs with you. They may have escaped a mad man's sect (as was/is al-islam) at one point in their life.

welcome tubby,
It is hard to understand all the delusional people yet I share your fascination. This place seems to have potential, but it's not quite there yet if you know what I mean yet.
By the way, Alex the admin could enlighten you on the subject if he get's his soviet-american ass off i-am-a-special-kind-of-convert throne, as he grew up an atheist then one day decided it would be a lovely idea to join the Taliban.
Cheers
