Welcome to the show..

Hello everybody my name is Mary, I am 15 and in 10th grade, so I may get intimidated by some of your discussions that involve complicated science.

Hi Mary - welcome to our board.

Hey, welcome Mary...I teach high schoolers so hope you dive right in...no worries, ask questions and don't be worried about getting invovled in a discussion

Hey, I'm Taylor! I'll be 13 in a little over two weeks, but I've been called an "old soul" by many. Umm...what else? My mom's atheist, my older brother's agnostic, and my dad and I don't talk enough for me to know, lol. My grandparents are Christian, but I guess I've pretty much chosen this religion on my own. While I'm comfortable with not knowing the age of the Earth, I tend to lean toward Old-Earth Creationism. I rarely go to church, but I read the Bible and pray a lot.

(Oh, and could you please excuse me if I don't understand complicated words or something? Being in middle school, I'm still just a baby! )

Welcome Taylor! I'm glad I'm not the only teenager around here.

welcome to the board!!

Thanks everybody!

Well, I'm happycynic. College student in the midwest, going for engineering. Atheist, and have been for quite a while. Spend most of my disposable online forum-time on Friendly Atheist Forums, where one of your guys recently popped up looking for some discussion in our side of the fence. I go by the same username there, btw. Anyhow, he mentioned this forum.

As I said before, I'm an atheist. Up to now, I haven't been able to find a convincing apologetic, and most of the ones I've heard after the first year or so of looking at them are variations on the same themes, and not really new at all. Figured if I came here you guys might be able to give me some interesting arguments (and I mean arguments in the "logical argument" sense, not the "i'm angry and yelling" argument sense ).

I guess I should also put out a disclamer that I'm not here to really grow in my knowledge of christianity. I'm pretty familiar with it already, although I've never, say, delved deeply into biblical history or historical analysis or the umpteen-trillion translation rules/interpretations. Most of my knowledge deals with the apologetics side; I figure if you can't prove that God exists first then none of the rest is really relevant. What I'm hoping for is to get another angle on the common arguments, maybe find a new one if I'm lucky, and I admit that I'd also like to be a sort of positive spokes-person for the atheist side of things (we tend to get a bad rap in some circles). I'm not here to be converted or de-convert any of you. But who knows? maybe one of you will get lucky and convert me--or maybe i'll get lucky and show one of you the way to deconversion

Anyhow, point me in the right direction for that kinda discussion, and I'll see what's going on

Hello, my name is Jaime (Jimmy) I've been a reluncted Christian for about 20 to 30 years, one who knew of Christ but did not know Him. I've been a Christian in the true sense of the word for only a couple of years. When I finally committed myself to Christ I began searching for what it means to be Christian. I found that the path was not an easy one to undertake. I've come across a lot of obsticals, stumbling blocks. I hate to admit it but I fell a couple of times. But, with the grace of God, I managed to get myself up and continue my journey. I'm not out of the woods yet but with sites like this one I am encouraged to keep persurvering.

God Bless.

welcome!! Hope you have some good discussions here!

Hi everyone, my name is Shawn and I have found this a very valuable resource for my faith.
Although I would consider myself very strong in God, I had a stumble a while back and for approximately two days (haha) which seemed like eternity, I accepted atheistic ideals as a logical answer for me in life.

I could not handle that emotionally, but didn't have answers factually to change my mind. This website offered that to me, and now I know I will always consider the Bible and God to be the number one answer to my purposes in life.

Thanks a lot!

That's wonderful to hear....Praise Him!! WElcome Short
