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.

Hello fellow atheists! I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims. I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor.
I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists". I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film. The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons. He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"! .
No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes. 'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands. Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…
