Okay, time for a quick introduction. First of all, I am 19, male, and currently residing in Atlanta. I was born in rural Kentucky and graduated high school in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was raised southern baptist and am now attending a methodist university. I have read the bible more times than I am able to count and was saved when I was around 12-13. I attended my church three times a week, more when there were special occasions, and was nearly done with earning the Timothy award from AWANA (for those who dont know, the award is for children who have memorized the bible in its entirety, broken into sections) until they changed the system and i was forced to restart.
And that should be all of the things that you will be pleased about. I lost any and all faith in the christian doctrine around my 14th birthday and have yet to be swayed from that opinion. Generally, I am better versed in the Bible than the ministers who attempted to convert me and have yet to lose a debate on the topic. I am a bleeding-heart liberal, as i like to believe Christ was (who is an inarguable historic figure). I am a political science major at Emory University, currently ranked 20th by Newsweek. I am studying Arabic and hoping to find a job in international relations in the Middle East. I live a life nearly counter to the fundamental christian doctrine,and enjoy it. I live with my girlfriend of two years, have kissed another guy before, support the President and have spent the last few months laughing myself to tears whenever Santorum opened his mouth. I do not believe in the concepts of hell, of free will, or good an evil. I recognize the possibility of a higher power, but do not think that if he does exist, he is accurately represented in the Christian Bible. Satan is a myth that mothers tell children to make them behave.
So there we are, a small biography of myself. I hope to have some entertaining and hopefully enlightening conversations with you guys. Have at you!
