Default Hi There
Hi There,

I'm a former christian (as I'm sure many of you are too) and have been an Atheist for about three years. I'm also a wife and mum who likes curries and non-fiction.

I found this forum after noticing a great amount of facebook activity opposing the ethics classes being trialed in NSW schools. I can't express how angry this issue is making me so I wont.

I just wanted to add myself to the number of Atheists standing up and being counted in this country because I'm fairly certain there are far more non-religious persons out there than most would be led to believe.

Looking forward to interacting with some like minded people as my life is over run by bible believing creationists at the moment.

Cheers

Welcome Emaline.

Curries and being atheists? Maybe something we can all agree on.

Hi Emaline. You've come to the right place. You can vent here after your encounters with the buybull believing creationists. Enjoy.
