Hello everyone!
I am Ms. Heather. I'm 20, and I live in Milwaukee, WI.
I have been an Atheist since I was about 12 or 13 years old. My parents used to make me go to Sunday School every week, even though I hated it. I used to question my teachers a lot, because it seemed as if there were so many holes in all the stories we were told. Finally, one day my teacher told me if I kept questioning my faith, I would burn in Hell. After that, I stopped going, and completely lost faith in any of the shit I was told! I was confused because I thought I was a good kid, I never did anything really wrong, so why would I burn in Hell, just for asking questions? After all, I was just curious.
Now I embrace the curiosity, and I wish others would too! I don't understand how people can believe in something so blindly! I like to see FACTS! I try to be respectful of other people's beliefs, and for the most part I am. If they ask me my views, I will tell them, because I am not ashamed to call myself an Atheist, even though I know other Atheists who prefer not to tell anyone. That brings me to RRS. I love th fact that RRS is getting involved in the community, and showing people that Atheists are not these horrible, cold, people, but are just like everyone else! (Maybe just a little smarter )
Well I look forward to partaking in some excellent discussions, thanks for your time, I know it was a bit long winded!

Welcome to the forums, Heather! Feel free to make yourself feel at home.
My mother made me go to church all the time as well when I was a kid. However I didn't question it until my 20's. *shrugs* I was always extremely imaginative, so I guess that's why.

I was christian for 12 years and had to keep going to church for awhile after I became atheist. Now though, all I want is answers and facts.

Argument from Sadism: Theist presents argument in a wall of text with no punctuation and wrong spelling. Atheist cannot read and is forced to concede.
