Hello all fellow Atheists and all others

Post by tjjohn »

Here I am aged 74 from who has seen it all. Have been a happy atheist since I was twenty .

Not that the sailing was smooth all these years. Some troubled and some plain and others really exciting . Born and brought up in a christian family I grew up in a multi - religious society in India I never felt the necessity for any God at any time . :lol:

Curiosity I suppose about how others think of an old atheist.

What do you think of veganism?
My son is a Vegan and I know many more vegans. I think it is their choice. I have not thought of turning into a vegan. Perhaps I would some day .

How did you become an atheist?
In a nutshell, common sense. environment and an unwillingness to believe in something without evidence.

My faith is in humanity and human views and line of thoughts are important to me . I would be indulging in my favourite pastime of reading human thoughts here particularly with respect to their beliefs and non beliefs.

Well, I'm surprised. I remember reading something about the older a person is, the less likely they are to be an atheist today.

There are some pretty good reasons to go vegan. Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibuQ-J04eLQ

Ah, alright. So you never really believed any of it at all?
