Thanks for the words of welcome!

Hello Terry,

Thanks for the welcome! I certainly am going to enjoy "this internet world of rationality and peace that unites us all through common sense and freethinking wisdom". I live in a small coastal town in South Africa - very beautiful - but inhabited by an inordinate number of retired Dutch Reformed Church dominees (or as one of Graham Greene's characters called it, the Much Deformed Church) and their thin-lipped wives. Frankly, it's not their awful brand of evangelical religion that gets my goat, or even their self-righteousness and moral smugness. it's the utter tedium of their small religion-raddled brains. (Although they can be good sport for any out-spoken atheist!) So am very much looking forward to some lively discussions on this site!

Thanks for the warm welcome Terry. Glad to be here.

Why thank you Terry. I just joined!

Thanks for welcoming me, Doctor. Always happy to me fellow freethinkers.

 p.s. thought you may be interested, i am a Bedford person , and lived as a small boy close to the gaol site that housed John Bunyan,  twice i believe. An interesting mud raker for a christian, but definately brave to take on that most concieted of religious beaurocracy the church of england.

thank you kindly sir, i hope this site ( my first attempt at joining any forum) will be an enlightening tool, to share some opinions and indeed frustrations that being a life long atheist are surfacing in my middle age.

Thanks for the Welcome and the invite!

thanks. i used to belong to secularity.com years back and enjoyed it.

Thank you for the welcome Terry, and Steve Jones' article on Wallace was a perfect start to my journey. Charles

Thank you Doc!
