Renoir here

Hi, some of you may remember me from years ago. I figured I'd say hi and if anyone needs me they can reach me here.

I'm an atheist, but not a "New Atheist". I'm not militant about it, I just don't believe in any deity and find that super liberating and awesome, zero regrets. I'm nominally a Soto Zen Buddhism practitioner.

I have a theology/biblical studies degree and I used to talk quite a bit about that stuff. Much less no now, although when it's topical I might. But it matters much less to me than it used to when I was on my way out.

Welcome, Renoir! I, too, feel liberated as a recent deconvert.

I was a member here for years, but it seems I didn't survive the several server crashes that happened over the years. I didn't even know if the board still existed.

I happened to find it just over a year ago when I was thinking about leaving the coc. So glad it's here! Very helpful to find I'm not alone.

Welcome back, I'm a non-believer too. And I do not intend to ever relinquish my freedom again. I tend to be just a tad militant, but just a little teeny bit. ;) :lol:

Each reincarnation of the server is bit different it seems and never is there retained memory.

Hi Renoir. Apparently I'm as bad with names online as I am in real life. Sorry.

Welcome or welcome back, whichever works!
