Surprised it's taken me this long!
G'day, long time listener, first time caller.
I was raised in the church, blah, blah, blah. Was introduced to heavy metal, girls and other like minded individuals. Went from favourite son, to pariah in a matter of months. I think I'm gonna like it here! Ave \m/

Re: Surprised it's taken me this long!
Hi, Wreckaotic.
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.
