Hi

A quick paragraph about me, I'm 24, and just recently moved to Philly with my fiancee and new baby boy. I am from Oklahoma, but grew up in Chicago with my very southern and very lutheran family. I've been thinking atheist thoughts since I was a pre-teen, but ever since my son was born I've been getting more and more serious about it. I want him to be a free-thinking, authority questioning individual. That's more dramatic than I'm used to, so, a couple random things about me....I love video games, I have a pokemon tattoo, I love the Yankees, Penn Jillette is a hero of mine and I have an I Chews Jesus shirt that has a picture of a dinosaur eating jesus. Its my favorite.

Enough rambling. Hello.

Hello and welcome.

The shirt does sound cool, not so sure about the tattoo though.

That sounds positively wunderbar! Congratulations on the new baby and the move ^^. I want your shirt as well!!!

Quick question: Is your wife-to-be a non-believer as well? I'd imagine that's the case since she's willing to marry a man with such a delightful shirt!

I'd like to say that I generally only date atheists, but that's a filthy lie. I always end up in arms race of ideas trying to disprove one another's thoughts. This morphs into an argument and eventually transforms into angry sex.

.....I really need to stop doing that. Then again I also really need to stop eating so many sweets and spending so much time on the computer.....;3

Hi, Tyler!

I thought you said you didn't care what any of us thought? So, you do care? I do wish you would make up your mind already. - NKB

That game took 150 hours of my life from me. Well worth it though!

My son plays it a hell of a lot. I haven't tried it yet, still trying to reach top prestige on MW3.

Same. Attempting to reach max rank in BF3. I have about 400 hours invested, and I'm about half way through.

I've been playing the new Ghost Recon beta since yesterday morning and it's awesome if you like tactical shooters.

Blah, sorry to hijack thread. Two things you don't want to get me started on- philosophy and video games.
