Unsacred Cow

Hello,
Have been reluctant to join but found the site fascinating, thought provoking with a humorous side. I guess I was reluctant having only just being "cleansed of the meme virus" just under 2 years ago, and not wanting to be pidgeon-holed again or in yet another group of another kind of idea. I can, however, live with the site's description of atheism. I definitely no longer believe in a sky fairy....and yes, it was rather like finding out Santa & the tooth fairy were just made up as a child at first but I'm out and loving a new sense of self and have now been set free. I had that guilt thing down to a fine art! Hoping AA (Atheists Anonymous) can lead me further down this road which, from what I can see and have already experienced here, will no doubt come to fruition.
I was a 3rd generation fundamentalist who was initially raised in the largest AOG church in Adelaide - I think Hillsongs little cousin or little sister or something incestuous like that. I won't go into the nitty gritty here but happy to post more of a coming out story under the appropriate forum topic.
By the way, although I've always held some level of logical thought process it is something I'm working on....I am a work in progress.....a learner if you will but I'm a quick learner so I hope it won't be too tedious for you.
See you in the forums. :)
