I was on Atheist Parent for a time (not getting my kids baptized is just one of the things that made me a pariah), but found this forum to be a lot more fun. And active.

And so far NOBODY here has given me shit about starting my own, polytheistic, Las Vegas-based religion. I find it cool that you're all cool with that.
Sorry to hear that people were being morons about your decision. :nono:

God appeared to me in a vision and told me to come here and convert the unbelievers.

Yea, though you walk in the shadow of the valley of darkness you will fear my evil, for I am he that smote Sodom & Gomorrah, bringer of death and fire, those who worship me shall live forever in paradise and those who turn their back upon me shall feed the fiery pits of Acheron for all eternity.
