I dont know if its my up bringing in iran but im a bit afraid of calling my self an athiest. just in case there is a god i dont want to be fully condemned to hell. haha.. see this crap religion ingrains you with? no matter how much you leave it. a part of you is still paranoid. So atleast for now i consider my self an agnostic. but you mentioned you were an ex-muslim. which country are you from if i may ask.

I don't have any specific questions but thank you for starting what is hopefully a good thread. nt JanMichael Dec 2015 #1
