My Greetings

[ferdmonger]

Greetings all.

My first post.

Life-long atheist here.

Was a member of another forum for over a decade.  Loved the banter, but too many new folks calling out dumb shit for me. 

Thought I'd try something new. 

Maybe I'll find another home here, don't know.

Here's what I know:

Donald Trump is a staff infection on the American public.

I know this should probably belong in the political discussion forum, but I felt it important to introduce myself appropriately, so there it is.

I'm trying to be less mean-spirited.  It's so easy to say Christians are goofs, but I've been trying hard not to be a dick about such beliefs.

Did I mention that Donald Trump is a complete and total dick?

With more reading, I get the feeling you folks are used to trolls.

Please, I'm just a decent atheist guy.

Just curious, what other atheist forum?  And if you are what you say you are (we all enter at first with some caution by others, as I did myself), then welcome.

So, how and why did you become an atheist?  That's not a challenge, just and invitation.  We all became atheist at some point, from birth to adulthood.

I was at talkfreethought for a long time. 

And as for how I 'became' an atheist.  I was one.  I didn't have to 'become' anything.

Nicely said.  I was never anything BUT an atheist myself.

What is your opinion about Madelyn Murray O Hair?

[ferdmonger]

That taken out of context quotes sucks.

She has been made a whipping boy for all manner of things.

Yes but what about the movement she started and her sad end?

[ferdmonger]

For fuck sake, I'm still trying to introduce myself.

When do the tests end?

Not tests, just questions I have.  Just feel free to post, LOL!  We will learn about you as you express your views.

And you you didn't answer my questions...

[ferdmonger]

There is and was no 'movement'.   There is no 'sad end', only an end.

What did you think about her end?  I thought it was very sad myself.  She left breakfast on the table and her dogs were unattended.

I would like to thank you for befriending me, and the table?  Someone else will have to figure that out.

You didn't even bother to look it up?  I am feeling suspicious.  And you sure are avoiding answering...

Welcome also.  Cavebear is being a bit ADHD today.  Some of old folks are like that ;-)

Welcome ferdmonger, hope you have fun here! Some of us don't care much for the Commander of Cheese either. But it takes all kinds to make a world, only one Chump to destroy it.

Glad to have you.
