I'm glad you decided to join us and appreciate any more help around here I can get. I also would like to say I wish I'd had the guts to leave my religion when I was a teenager; it would have saved me many years of pointlessly trying to make religion work for me. Welcome to Walk Away!

Blame it on the dinosaurs. I've been crazy for them ever since I was a little boy. They made the world seem so big and full of possibilities.

Hey Bill, welcome. I've enjoyed your posts. I, too, really liked dinosaurs when I was a kid. I drew them, read about them, bought dinosaur models. I can still name quite a few...

So, I am sure that plenty of you are wondering why I am here. Well, to put it simply, I'd like to try giving support to those still struggling with the harsh realities often involved with "walking away." That's almost as bad as the psychological impact it has on some people. Mostly, they just need someone to call a friend until they start meeting new people and realize that losing all of their fundamentalist buddies isn't the end of the world.
Thanks Bill ... I think. your cv and mo remind me of some recent visitors. They arrived here with a big splash as well, and had similar reasons - not actually walking away themselves, they were here to 'help'. Please forgive me if this is unwarranted, but once bitten twice shy!

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us."

Hey -- I ought to say welcome, but I don't know as it would be proper for a newcomer. I loved dinosaurs when I was little, too! They were one of my favourite subjects when selecting books. I had some plastic models, too, and a couple ceramic ones. Um... except I'm a girl..  BTW, don't worry, your university situation is likely far better than what I did... x_x

Same here. I thought about being a palientologist when I grew up but realized I have to spell it on all my job applications!
Welcome to the forum, Bill.

My little brother has a scary knowledge of dinosaurs, and you can't go into the bathroom witout climbing over a few of them, though, as he will point out, not all of them are technically dinosaurs, some predate them. (I did say his knowledge was scary)
Welcome Bill, what are you studying at uni?
