An Atheist/Sceptic/Non-believer
Greetings to all members of A.N.
I would like to introduce myself to all members of this forum. I hail form Johannesburg, South-Africa, and I am 26 years of age. By my own understanding on the definition of the word, I am an Atheist. In a narrower sense on it's meaning, I do not believe in the existence of any deities/supernatural beings/magic etc.
I have not read much literature written by famous Atheists (for example Richard Dawkins), nor have I discussed my views much with anyone. Thus, my decision to join the A.N. It is a great opportunity for me to learn, and share thoughts and fact with like-minded people, on various subjects encompassing Atheism.
I am Looking forward to what the future may hold.
~Bill~

Welcome, glad to have you. How are most people in South Africa in regards to religious belief? Here in Minnesota in the northern US, it is definitely not the Bible Belt, but most people assume that most people are religious.

Welcome to the forum Bill. "like-minded" might be a hasty generalization for this group. The only thing we have in common is our lack of belief. There may be some trending on personality types. But, that trending is starting to fade as non-belief becomes more accepted. Overall, we are just another cross-section of society.

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
