Nope.
It HAS confirmed several thoughts I've had.

Well now this is a loaded question for me.
What I learned...people can be just as ignorant and arrogant about non-belief as they are about their beliefs.
I am drawn into the arguments even when the other person is not capable of rational thinking and I become arrogant towards their ignorance.
I have zero tolerance for words getting manipulated into different meanings.
Zero tolerance for verbal abuse or any type for that matter.
There are some wise people here that have eased my loneliness and shared knowledge with me about things I never even heard of before. (Diamonds in the rough)
Chances of someone agreeing with me or defending me if and when I say something that rattles reality are much higher here than in any church.
I love it when someone follows my posts.
Language (word meanings) are as unique as our fingerprints yet we assume understanding based on our definitions.
No matter what else, I get ample opportunity to hone my communication skills on this site and find topics of personal interest whenever I come here.
Some of you are worth weeding through the garden for and even the arrogant ones provide lessons of their own!

I don't mean this to be rude which really means I don't really know how to say it without being rude, so my apologies.

First off I am an atheist, but I've found that many atheists are the most unjustifiably pompous human beings that I have ever known outside the extremely rich. They often think they are more intelligent than every theist, that they are more reasonable and logical. Many atheists feel like belief or lack-thereof is a choice that they have made and others should follow suit but can't because they are dumb. Typically these are the least intelligent among us and I do hold us to a higher standard than the rest of the populace.

Atheists too often think themselves superior to theists. They ignore humility in the face of pride over a belief that for many in our world, is driven into them when they start learning to walk and every day there after. I was lucky that my parents lacked the conviction to reinforce their religion on me. They were lazy and I was able to make the determination myself but most across the globe never get that chance.

This site has taught me that I am slightly less accurate and that there are more atheists than I thought who understand the differences and want to make the world a better place more than they want to tell theists how stupid they are.

I've talked to some interesting people...... read some interesting posts.... commented seriously on some.... commented with humor on others (at least my version of humor). I avoid the militant political stuff as much as I do the militant anti - insert your religion here - posts. Like other sites, there are folks who feel it is ok to bash and force their opinions on others because they "know" they are right.... I think some of those are folks are likely just beginning to come to terms with their new found disbeliefs and need to tell it to whom ever will listen/read? Me.... I've never been a believer. Wasn't really raised that way, so none of "this" is new to me. So, I'm just here for the coffee, comradery, cool info and cute ladies.

I could write a book on the stuff I've learned and come to get agitated about.

I have lived happily ever after. Of course I was doing that before. It's been ongoing.

The majority seem to be more intellectual, which is quite refreshing considering "the internet" and all.

its just allowed me to talk openly and mostly not about fucking stupid religion.

Some bright articulate people here - also the room has many clueless, close minded liberals

No just a camaradarie and a shared sense of humour and the ridiculous - Sometimes there are posts I just pass by if they are too wordy or nit picky but on the whole I really enjoy being here (even when I am fed up with people defining me in words - agnostic atheist etc. I just say 'I am godless I have no god - I don't want to quibble about labels!'

Enjoy all the people I have met, and have no plans of leaving any time in the near future.

They make great sex partners, no hangups !
