Welcome to the asylum. Enjoy your stay.

Go at your own pace. You don't owe anyone an explanation for anything.

Me, personally, I don't have any problem engaging with believers. They don't scare me, and if I'm in the mood, I'll give them back even better than I get.
I don't like that they have any sense of entitlement that they can get away with their delusional bullshit, and I'm not afraid to say so.

They piss me off. They should know that.

Welcome to the 'family' friend.
Though on the idea of staying silent in the face of Faithfool retaliations, I prefer to take them on and give them a full broad-side rather than merely letting them think they have free rein.
They have ruled the world, imo, for far, far too long, time has come to shut them down, take NO Prisoners and offer them the same mercies that they showed our Atheist/Agnostic predecessors in the past, i.e. NONE at all.

Keep posting and you'll soon have enough points to talk to anybody you want to.
Welcome to our den of wickedness.

I'm sorry, I can't read your post. But seriously, welcome

Hi, I understand you're situation. I live in the Bible belt ( West Virginia) very tough to find like minded people...

and FYI these ppl are just like others some are snarky and some contradict everything because they know best and some are funny or sweet so don't let them make you upset if I don't like the way a conversation is going I just bow out ....nothing to get upset about ....differences are good and make life interesting

Welcome and participate, teach and learn.

Hi from the Outback in the Land of the Convict.

You'll have those points before too long.

Welcome from Missouri!

Hello!
I'm glad that you found this group.
I discovered it a few months ago and it has added to my life.
We are all different and our circumstances are also obviously different.
I don't gfeel, contrary to what some people hink, that we must be confrontational.
Sometimes our situation won't allow it. Other times, it just depends on the person we are talking to. So I wouldn't feel bad about not being confrontational and not admitting to the world your beliefs.
Thank you for sharing.

Welcome

Thanks for joining us! This is a very good place to connect with others.

Hi from Australia

Hello from Quebec.

I used to keep my mouth shut but when you think about it...only one person can offend all those people who get easily offended...and that is the person staring at them in the mirror. No need to get into an argument when you are certain in your position and have done your research. I always get a kick out of asking Christians about original sin. They claim it is the reason there had to be a savior...so what would happen if the entire "original sin" concept was never written in the Genesis account? Well...funny thing is...it's not in there! There is no condemnation implied or expressed from the Elohims (Plural emphasis added) to Adam/Eve when translated literally from the Leningrad Codex (ya know...the source from which the KJV was translated from). This leads to one very interesting question to ask them....just how did "original sin" become documented into a infallible holy book? Welcome to the club!

Well, welcome to our little slice of the Internet, enjoy.

Welcome to our coven!! Lol!!

Most of us can relate to these words.
