Sswhateverlove, welcome! I'm so sorry to hear that you have had a bad first impression of our lovely forums. I, for one, am happy you are here and I look forward to reading all these threads that you've started, and hopefully learning something from your scientific background and unique experiences!
Please keep in mind that just like any community, we have people from all sorts of backgrounds, of all sorts of beliefs, and with all sorts of opinions. I would hardly consider a few negative responses, representative of an entire community of members-- but, I am sorry that your first experience here was unpleasant. If it makes you feel better, so was mine! But it has turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made, because I've found quite a wonderful network of support, friends, laughs, knowledge, and happiness with the people of this forum.
Please note that if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to throw any of us mods in green, a PM.
Have some welcome cookies, on us

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
