I'm Liz. I've been an atheist for a long while. I guess I started disbelieving in god when I was a young girl. Went though some shit no child should have to deal with, and when I prayed to God for it to stop......Lmao what do you think happened? Yup you got it absolutely nothing!
I'm not one to bash people for their beliefs. But it's nice to know there is a place like this where I can be with like minded people.
I don't comment on a lot of things. Mostly because I don't comfortably doing so. I make a lot of comments to myself or my family. I guess I feel that people will judge me. Haha but I am trying to over come this feeling.
I'm not as educated as a lot of people on here so I guess that is why I don't comment. Lol my fear of being judged. But I'm going to try and over come this, or maybe I'll just keep to myself.
Any way I just wanted to say Hello

Welcome to the site Liz.
Don't worry about being judged, everyone has opinions and points of view.
No matter how "Educated" a person might be, a new and different viewpoint is always helpful.
Two eyes are better than one.

Welcome to the forum. Liz
You can send PM to people if you feel that you want to reply to something but feel uneasy to post it in public.
I'd like to thank all of you for understanding and making me feel welcomed. I hope you all have a wonderful evening.
I'm actually new here too Liz .. just signed up a few minutes ago, but I don't suppose that means I can't welcome you like others have done. Welcome.
Although I'm new here, I'm not new to being atheist, or to commenting on religion/atheism .. I contributed regularly to the Richard Dawkins forum before it was shut down some years back.
Looking forward to life in The Republic.
Lol love your name. I'm not new to being an atheist. I'm new to making comments and I don't want to say the wrong thing. Thanks for welcoming me.
If any comments you make are in keeping with the Atheist Republic's guidelines, then I don't reckon you need to worry about saying the wrong thing. :)
Hi Liz!
Welcome! Great to have you here : )
Have you heard of Rachel Slick? You might find her story an inspiring read:
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2013/07/15/the-atheist-daug...
She is the daughter of the Christian apologist Matt Slick that runs CARM. She grew up in a very repressive environment.
Thanks I will look into it.
