Hello everyone! Firstly thank you for allowing non Christians to join your site. I stumbled across your forum when I was doing some research on different religious faiths.

I just wanted to say hello as it is always great to interact with friendly people.

I also noticed there were a few misconceptions regarding Atheists and I was saddened to see some of you had had unpleasant interactions with Atheists in the past and this may have formed your opinions of us. I do not have any Christian friends and therefore have little to no opportunity to interact with people of faith.

I am not here to debate but love discussion and to find out what other people believe.

I would also like to say I will give honest, open and non judgmental responses to any questions you might have about my life/opinions/beliefs/non-beliefs as an Atheist. Obliviously I respect this is a Christian forum and therefore I will totally respect that I may not be welcome in all discussions and if people would rather I do not post then I take no offense to that.

However If you would like to send me a PM or there are appropriate threads I would love to be included.

I hope you are all having a lovely day

Welcome, I hope you will enjoy your stay here on CC. You are correct we are used to hostile atheists here so don't be surprised if we seem a little skeptical until we get to know you. :)

Well, hello outgoing, friendly atheist! Welcome! Just in case you don't realize it, most all CHRISTIANS, in some form or fashion, were once atheists too. None of us were automatically born a JESUS CHRIST follower or a worshipping knowledgeable GOD-serving human being. In other words, we understand exactly where you are NOW. I, personally, am the world's worst skeptic. I hear in-between your typed comments that you too are searching, Searching for something way beyond where you stand now, spiritually speaking. Seems you are content, and, since you can't find an atheist chatroom online, here you are! Humm, I would say that it's not a mistake that you are here with us, wanting to chat and join in. It would be so boring and leading to nowhere to just face a monitor screen with another atheist to discuss eternity, spirituality, or a secure future. Please do not take this as an insult, but, let's face it...how can you help, or encourage, or offer hope to another atheist if you are one yourself? IT would be like spinning your wheels. You could change the subject, talk politics, sports or favorite music...but the end result would be the same....chit-chat!!!! Ah, but here, you will at least hear something, a single word, comment, bible verse or something that will have value, and offer a different perspective than what another atheist could ever offer you. Two drowning atheists can only yell for help to someone else. As in the true Titanic story, two drowning people, one an atheist and one a CHRISTIAN, the Christian spoke of future hope, salvation and witnessed of JESUS to the drowning atheist. THe Christian did drown but the atheist was picked up in a lifeboat. Later, those powerful words of the CHRISTIAN man caused the atheist to rethink his chosen lifestyle and eventually became a CHRISTIAN himself and later, a preacher. THey now are rejoicing in heaven together! SO please, stay with us and glean what you can!

:D You just made me laugh. If that is all you feel you can do, then you won't be any better off than most of us. :D

How about if I promise to try to be kinder and more honest to you than you might be to me? Will you return the effort? Y'see, I already know many of us can be real bas____ (That COULD mean almost "anything."), so I am hoping you are nicer and more honest than some of us.

Deal?

Hi PwenJC

Thanks for taking the time to give me such a detailed response I really appreciate it. Very true I am sure many of you guys where Atheists before this is something I find fascinating as I don't know If I could ever imagine myself gaining faith!

No offense taken, it takes an awful lot to offend me even if someone intends too!

I do agree about having a different perspective I definitely think that is how we grow as people and learn about ourselves and the world. However I would like to perhaps suggest that not all Atheists are as boring or as predictable as you imagine and that I may in my own way provide help, love support and a different perspective. ( maybe I will fail , but I would like to try :eek:)

Anyway I look forward to talking to you soon.

Okay okay.. I promise to be kind and honest no matter how I might be treated! I always like to see the best in people and automatically presume that everyone here is going to be kind and honest.

So yes we have a deal :D, but until I see otherwise I am going to carry on thinking that everyone is as lovely as they have been!
