Hello,

I stumbled upon this forum and was intrigued, so I signed up. I am an Atheist and am very much interested in intelligent discussion and debate with believers.

I may come across as brash and abrasive at times, but this is simply a side effect of usually cutting straight to the point without much special consideration of overly trying to not offend. If I offend you at some point, I apologize in advance, it isn't my intent.

It was a tv cop show. Almost every episode, after their morning briefing and before the uniformed cops hit the streets, the sarge would say, "Hey, let's be careful out there" with about as much predictability as "Ringers Lactate" in "Emergency".

Welcome Jason. Hope you stay around.

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.
