Cheetah isn't and I'm not, as well as some of the members of course.

I think it would be a good idea to sticky that list we started and add to it as we go along - I know from when I used to visit FFI I always wanted to know if the person I was speaking to was actually an ex-Muslim. Not that I wouldn't want to speak to them - but I just wanted to know where they are coming from. I think that's very important and I think is actually very helpful for many reasons.

What do you think Oz?

Great idea. As you say, it really helps knowing where people are coming from before you waste your breath.

due to few unfortunate circumstances i am in desperate need of money,job,sometime for my self,an extension on my student visa, and chances for geting each one of these,in pure logical terms ,are bleak.
for last few days i couldnt help but saying the words for example,if god willing(inshallah)or god is gracious.and when i say any of these words my friends look at me like i am an alien(because i claim to be an atheist)
i think i miss god.or atleast there should be something on which you can rely on when nothing seems to work.
what do you guys do in an hopeless situation?

I take comfort in statistics:
I assume that the more "factors" in your life are good, the more likely a change in your life will result in your condition worsening.
Vice versa, the more factors are bad, the more likely any change in your life will result in an improvement.

That's why, when I was depressed, I quickly discarded suicide as a valid option.
It's more logical to kill yourself when you are at the peak of success

Do not look directly at the operational end of the device.

No worries. I'll grab the list as soon as I remember where it is. I can link the names to people's profiles too. That way if they want to indicate their sex they can do that in their profile.

And it WAS Astaghfirullah who I was replying to because he is the one who said Atheism is to not care about whether God exists or not!

Hummm, sounds like Apatheism.

The foundation of superstition is ignorance, the
superstructure is faith and the dome is a vain hope. Superstition
is the child of ignorance and the mother of misery.

That I have just been indirectly shunned for challenging Astaghfirullah's believes because the challenge has been interpreted as an attack or an act of disrespect and such actions cannot be tolerated in a thread where we should listen to other people's opinions.

The thing is I wasn't attacking Astaghfirullah but judging on his responses I had to check back to make sure I didn't threaten his loved ones or something like that...

Why are you going on and on about this? The replies you've received are sound, you could just drop it now, unless you like nagging away.

Asking God never helped me whenever I did believe in him anyway... I knew he would not intervene anyway, and he never did. I try to transfer the negative energy into doing something positive, until I feel better..

I'm out of touch, sorry

I saw God the other day, he doesn't miss anyone, cantankerous old cunt. (sound of lightning bolt in distance).
