This is a subject very close to my heart, unfortunately not for the right reasons I guess.
My family has never been religious at all, however at one point I thought I'd give religion 'a chance' when my Auntie was seriously injured in a car crash. I was very young at the time and completely adored her, so I prayed and begged with 'god' to save her. He didn't and she died.
From that day onwards I had a complete aversion and resentment for all religion as I can no longer see the requirement for 'faith', instead I want 'proof'. I tried faith and it failed me, so now I'll settle for proof. Some would argue that it was 'her time', however god seemed pretty heavy on the miracles before the was an accurate method for recording things, so why not now?
Finally, as for going to hell for being an atheist, I maintain that if god is truly forgiving then when I die he'll see that I am a good person and forgive me for the biggest sin of all, non-belief. Up until that point, I see fit to life my life without any interest in it at all and, as has been discussed, I find it like football; it's a shame one of the primary reasons of it's existance is as a reason for people to be horrible to one another.
It's not the size of the tomahawk, it's the fury of the indian.
At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Hi Nimbus,
In completely the same boat as you, although we're not moving on with things because it's not the right time for us at the moment to start (Hence no ads). However, we thought we'd get into the forums etc so that when we do get into it, we know what to expect and people know us (and of course, so everyone can think 'Can't wait to get a slice of those guys' ;) .
This place has been great to just chime in when you feel like it, none of my posts have been treated as out of place and I haven't felt it's clique-y at all. Everyone's been really good and the replies in our own welcome thread were really friendly. I don't doubt they will be for you either, so don't panic!

Hmm.. Tiger Tyndale, not bad I guess. Could work for M or F.
Hurrah, for first pet = porn name mechanics. When we have our kid and it wants it's first pet I'll recommend we call it Lusty or Juicy etc.. just for when they no doubt get asked that when they're old enough.
"Dad, why do we have to move to ThrustingCock Drive?"
On saturday night I left a local pizza place and began to walk home, it was only when I was about a mile down the road I realised I'd moved and didn't live within walking distance any more. Good job I was near a taxi rank, although I don't remember how I got from the taxi into bed.
Although doesn't beat a guy who I used to work with who left a nightclub at 2 am in Nottingham to walk home, walked for THREE miles then rememberd he lived in Bath.
