Hi and hello to all at everyone at IG.com. I've been reading through the board and it feels good to be back. I use to be a member of this forum a long time ago. Let me first thank Reggie and the people of this site, because InfidelGuy, the information on this site, and the people of the forum are the sole reason for me becoming a "hardcore" Atheist. I use to be a Christian from the time I went elementary-middle school, but way back in 2000 I came across infidel guys "Questions About God", and it sparked me to think deeper into the topic of God's existence, and the more I did that, the more and more I felt stupid. After realizing the things I've learned about God from this site, I then felt like a dirty trick has been played on me. I was like "wtf, none of this stuff makes sense". The more I try to think deeper about God's existence, the more it pushes me towards radical-disbelief.
Currently, Im still an atheist, mainly because God hasn't opened up the sky and shook my hand or dapped me off to let me know he or "it" exist. I dont expect God to make his presence known anytime soon, so I am forever an atheist. But, being an Atheist makes me feel good because it brought me to rational thinking and it makes me feel radically different from everyone else in society, but its like a double-edged sword. It's great that I can reason, debate and ect but it would seem as if because I'm able to do this in today's society I've become greatly alienated or outcasted. Lets not talk about things with the women here where I live, lol, god. It's sad, everything can be going fine between us, we can go out and have a nice time, and they can tell me how much they like me and ect, but at the point I reveal I'm an Atheist, boy, do things go down hill.
What happens is they get really really.....distant. It a shame that they'll throw away our friendship/relationship because of a disbelief. It's like if she believes there's an invisible dildo that's always in her presence and I dont believe that's the case, she doesnt want anything to do with me. Yeah, that's usually how it goes. If I dont believe that dildo is always in her presence...like God, she doesnt want to further conversate. But sometimes because of they're looks I'll definately play along...."Oh yea, sure God is always with you baby,....now bend over"! To make a long story short....I've turned this "introduction" into more of a short essay. All in all, I'm just letting you know a little bit about me and I'm just saying HI to everyone. So.....HI, and it feels good to be back. God it feels good to be around an atheist crowd again. lol. If I only could find a hawt atheist girlfriend.....sigh. Bye guys!!

Hi.. hi Medicated. Welcome back. Yes.. those questions truly make an impact to those willing to question. I created many of them back in 1998 while working for the Federal Prison System. I would sit in the Tower for hours writing and working them up. I'd call up other officers and ask them questions. So my surprise, there were 2 females officers that allowed me to share my ideas with them (via Tower phone). We'd talk for the whole shift.
Anyway.. yes.. I have and am going through similar. Amazing how insecure many believers are. They pretend they know God exists, but they act like he's a baby that needs protecting. Feel free to quote me on that.
Again, welcome. See you around. Looking forward to conversing with you.
