Hey
I'm Mike. I thought I had an interesting story of de-conversion story until I saw on here that it wasn't so unusual... Anyway, I'll post it for what it's worth on the 'Coming out' page. I really look forward to meeting other atheists and ranting about religion (because, let's face it, I'm still at the 'I can't believe I fell for that nonsense' stage). I'm sure other people who have been through a de-conversion experience will relate.
Mike

Re: Hey
Hi, Mike! 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.) If you're an AFA member and need your membership status recognised in forum access, please send a Private Message to Admin, including the name on your AFA membership. 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.

Re: Hey
Don't mind Praxis. She's just concerned that the Freakytown CrewTM might one day outnumber the Mexican Posse.
And MJM, we'd love to hear your coming out story. Every time someone says "I don't believe in god", an angel dies... and we need the stamps on our points card.
