Introduction: Why I'm an Atheist

Hi everyone !

Since recently I have called myself an Atheist, normally I didn't really like to label myself with anything however I do think this suits me as a person. Before that I was agnostic if anything, religion hasn't done much for me or meant much to me. There are only some things I agree with like: Being kind, showing compassion, do a good deed here and there and I found out all this can be done without praying or believing in a higher entity and still feel good about yourself.

I mainly believe in myself or self-motivation, the goodness of mankind and the progress of science of course.
I just wanted to give a brief introduction to avoid the ''who the fuck's that ?!'':

25 yrs, originally from Amsterdam but of Scottish descent. Nowadays I travel allot, this year I've been to Kenya, Portugal, been in Montréal for two days and before this I was in Las Vegas for a couple weeks and in two weeks time I'm going to NYC then back home to Amsterdam and then who knows where I might go.

In Vegas I attended ''The Unbelievers'' event where I saw Richard Dawkins & Lawrence Krauss live which was amazing ! Like allot of people here I've watched countless debates from both of them and it was very uplifting to see them. I even got my book ''The God Delusion'' signed which gives it that little extra when reading it.

That was my brief intro, pleased to meet you :)
