Welcome, Uriel.  I had the same experience you did.  It just never made sense.

Welcome, Uriel! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Atheists who love Science!.

I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically. Arizona is especially vulnerable.

After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.

On a personal note, I’ve developed an animated gif technique, sort of “pull quote marries slideshow”. Samples are scattered across various groups, but you can find them easily by going to my twitter account. Each tweet has a link (after the description and before the hashtags) to a visually rich example here at Atheist Nexus. If you like them, please follow me

Retweeting will spread the word about our climate and draw new people here to Atheist Nexus.

Welcome, Uriel.  It is always amazing to me how many people had doubts about religion as young children even when being bombarded with theism.

Hi Uriel
