Hi from Perth Western Australia
Hi Everyone, let me introduce myself, I am a 60yr old woman from Perth WA, an atheist, freethinker, humanist, naturalist and other labels I care to give myself, I'm also anti-theist. I'm also an ex-christian, 'escaped' from the IFB's (Independent Fundamental Baptists) 11 years ago. It's great to be free, totally liberating, how could I ever have been so deluded, anyway, glad to be a part of this team of rational thinkers.

Welcome, from the other side of the continent, (Brisbane).
I never bought it.
That's a long time to spend in the depths of delusion, but at least you did break free.
The religious meme has some strong hooks into our hopes and fears.

Welcome to the forum.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
