(Somehow I posted this in the wrong place the first time, so I’m posting it here now.) Hi, I first discovered this site a few years ago, but never really participated on it. Looking back, it appears I only commented once or twice, saying something condescending about morality. Recently, I rediscovered the site, because I started noticing updates on a Facebook group (no longer) affiliated with it. What’s funny is I only realized I had an account when I tried to register under the exact same User Name. I’ve started reading the sequences and am interested in participating in the discussions. I’ve thought intensely about certain topics since I was young, but I didn’t really apply a scientific (or rationalist) approach to it until my Junior year of college, when I joined an Atheist community at my school. Many times, I see different sides to an issue. This isn’t to say I stay on the fence for everything, but I understand most situations are complicated with at least some conflicting ideals.
