Greetings all!

I am a 24yo Melburnian, brought up and educated as a Catholic (however my father is an Atheist). At a very early age I struggled with the question of why my father was not going to heaven. These internal struggles helped me to question my faith away – it was a very liberating journey.

The discussions taking place in the Atheist community are of great interest to me and in my opinion are very important. I look forward to becoming a part of this community and getting involved in the discussions.

Thanks for your time!

Hi, PlunderBunny!

This is a message sent to all who find their way to these forums.

We like people, and we like facts too!

We're friendly but we're skeptical, and if somebody calls for proof, it's not an accusation. Only the strong ideas thrive here: we try to respect people. (We do not tolerate personal abuse.)

You may already have visited these other handy places:
* New Member Information
* Welcome from AFA president
* For those interested in learning, I recommend the Atheism Resource Thread maintained by Fearless.
* And a quick look at our reserved spot for belief-based discussion, Fantasy Island, includes The Great Big List, a sort-of "things we've seen before" for those of faith, and general rules of argument for the forum.

If you've got questions, please ask. Moderators have red name tags, but many of our friendly people may have the answers you need.

Enjoy the forums. We hope to see plenty from you in discussions.

Have fun.
