    Hello,
    I'm new here. I'm also new to discussion forums in general. My background is that I grew up in a Christian home, but it really stopped making sense to me in my early teens. In my teenage years I was still looking for some kind of supernatural belief system that worked for me, but by my early twenties I had really shed all my supernatural beliefs. I am now in my early thirties, I am dating/living with a woman who identifies as an Asatruar (a re-creation of Norse religious tradition) and am generally politically moderate, although Social Liberalism seems to be the best fit as a descriptive of my core political beliefs. I self identify as an agnostic generally, although I make little or no distinction between agnosticism and weak atheism. I guess that's all I have to say in the introduction.

    Have a good one,

    Welcome to the forum.
    Faith, n. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.
    Religion, n. A daughter of hope and fear, explaining to ignorance the nature of the unknowable.
    Philosophy, n. A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.
    -Ambrose Bierce
