The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Who I am, why I'm here

Submitted by matzevolt on June 15, 2007 - 10:28am.

My name is Matthew, I'm 20 and I'm an atheist. I'm from Germany and I used to be a christian until I was about 13. I grew up in a very Christian home, my grandfather was a reverend. So I like most kids did what my parents and grandparents did, i went to church and all that stuff. I never read the bible until I was (you probably already guessed it) 13 and even then the contradictions and useless violence made me think about me and my belief. Should I really believe in some sh.. stuff Smiling like a ship with 2 of every kind of animal on it? Or in stoning a child because it's been disrespectful?

I hope my english is not toooo bad, If you understand the German language, you can visit my German Blog. If you got any questions, feel free to ask! You can also talk to me at youtube (same nickname Eye-wink ) or dailymotion (ditto).

A few things

a) you don't have to self censor except in the kill them with kindness thread

b) you seem to have a better grasp at english then some people who's first language is english. To see more look at the forum about "you respond". so many of them can't use correct words and their grammer is so so poor i have a hard time understanding what they are saying. Mind you i'm not saying i'm the greatest at english (you probably seem to have a better grasp then I do, and english is my first language). I'm saying that i don't know how anyone who knows anything about english can understand some of the ditribe that these people send.

Ok enough of my ranting. I really need to stop that.

As mentioned, your written english is superior to a significant number of english only speakers, sad as that is.

Hello Matthew,

Your English is unfortunately better than most Americans' (I blame it on rampant text messaging). It's good to see people outside of the U.S. speaking up in these forums...

Welcome Matthew. Your English is superb. My family is from Germany and I tried to learn German on my own, but... didn't really work out. Have fun here!
