Default hi all from Brisbane

Hi all

Another atheist in Brisbane here. Have been since forever really, just a bit slack about actually joining an organisation. But sometimes speaking up/out is important.

Last week I happened to be at a "separation of church and state" forum where DanDare represented his views (which I share) very sanely and eloquently. Catching up with him and another friend afterwards made me decide that I should really just join AFA. So here I am.

Cheers,
Darwinian.

Hi, Darwinian! 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.

Hiya Darwinian, there are a number of folk from Brisbane on the forum, myself included in that number (tho only a recently moved one, from Victoria

Look forward to hearing your input ... I was hoping to make the DanDare talk but other stuff just got in the way at the time, and I couldn't make it at the last moment, doh

Did manage to catch up with Dan at the rapture party the other weekend tho.

Cya in the maelstrom

Welcome. There are, believe it or not, some forum members from places other than Brisbane. Not many, but some.

Glad you found your way to us. Hope you enjoy it here.
