The why... get out

I'm overwhelmed with reasons as to why I've decided to create this blog!

But first let me ask this question that's been occupying my thoughts for days: Why aren't there any vocal lebanese atheists? Where are the sites? where are the NGOs? Where are the people who don't believe in god, who think religion is bogus; Jesus, Mohamad, Mary, Ali, Moses and Abraham deranged, fiction or both?

Fuck it, even Lebanese jews, who represent a tiny portion of the population, have their own website!

One feels so alone in Lebanon when having a conversation about how religion is made up or why god doesn't exist. Not only do people scorn you and pity you because you're going to burn in hell, but you'll get the frequent blasphemy accusation followed by the hurling of insults (this is a gross generalisation).

I know there's lots of us out there. Here's my small contribution, a small still dark corner of the web that I hope will get some light shed on it and grow into a movement of free thinkers who dare to challenge the grip that religion and religious people have on the country.

So after the why(s), now the get out… YES I AM AN ATHEIST.

Don't be afraid, out yourself now!
