Hello Fellow Freethinkers
Hello,
I've been an atheist since I was thirteen. I believe in the power of mankind and its strivings, not those of some unfounded higher power. Look forward to some invigorating discussion. Last edited by Diogenes; 12th May 2010 at 08:21 PM.

Re: Hello Fellow Freethinkers
Gidday Diogenes, the more philosophers the merrier, hope you find much to contribute to. We often mock public figures and those who assume authority without earning it, you should feel right at home.

Re: Hello Fellow Freethinkers
When I was thirteen I disavowed any belief and started developing logic in my life, not blind adherence. I think that realising that Christianity was merely a reenstatement of paganism under a new guise sold it to me.

Re: Hello Fellow Freethinkers
In my teens I concluded that Jesus and the angels and all that must have been the result of Et activity. Still makes more sense to me today that all that spiritual garbage.
