Default G'day fellow rationalists!

G'day all!

I'm a 27-year-old chick in the medical profession from Melbourne, and I'm thrilled to join the AFA community.

I've been an atheist for as long as I can remember, even before I knew such a word existed! I am extremely thankful I was brought up irreligious and able to make up my own mind about which direction to take.

I'm also a huge Dawkins fan, and greatly looking forward to the convention next year - got full weekend tickets, so I hope to see all of you there!

Duckie.

Welcome Duckie! Glad to note you are irreligious as opposed to a-religious. So much more fun!

Welcome Duckie - I'm also a "chick in the medical profession" (not a doctor or a nurse though - I'm a multidisciplinary transcriptionist with my own business) and am in Melbourne. Er ... but I'm not 27 any more

Look forward to seeing you around the forums and of course, at the convention in March!

Cheers.

Thanks, Ford! Yeah, I thought irreligious might be more approprate.

Thanks, Praxis! I'm a medical imaging practitioner (aka radiographer).

Thanks, Protium!

We're completely filmless now (most hospitals are), but we can still take x-rays of ourselves; we just now take them home on CD!
