Greetings from Me!
Hello everyone! My name is Joseph. In my school band I play the flute, I love to write and read, and love to learn about new things.
When not in school, I spend summer writing articles about the paranormal. Here are examples of my work:
I love to wear hats, mostly fedoras. Multiple people have a hard time believing I am a teen because I talk like an educated person, and not lik dis.
I have a dog named Lily Rose, 4 brothers and 1 sister. I'm the oldest, and one of only three people in my whole family (Including cousins and uncles and aunts) that are not Christian, one being a Pagan and the other being a fellow Atheist.
I love music, and my favorite bands/musicians are Amon Amarth, Marilyn Manson, Voltaire, Dresden Dolls, Hollywood Undead and Seether.

Hello and welcome Joseph. As a fomer resident of Grand Rapids (or "escapee" as I like to call it), it's nice to see some young free thinkers from the area.
Be sure to check out the "Reasonable Doubts" podcast on itunes. It's 3 college professors that from the area that use the podcast to debunk religion. I especially like the "skeptic sunday school" segments.
See you around the A/N

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…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day. however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more. in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

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…
