introduction
Greetings, forum. I've been a Christian for about 30 years. If I said I'm not interested in converting some of you, that wouldn't be totally honest. But - knowing that one of the antagonizing behaviors of Christians is to treat non-believers as projects, conversion isn't my top objective here. I'm most interested in your arguments or rationale for your views. Thanks & blessings.

RE: introduction
I doubt anyone here gives a rat's ass about deconverting you. Converting us to what? A belief in your particular brand of deity worship? LOLZ

Give it your best shot!

Oh yeah, and welcome n shit.

Welcome aboard, new blood. I'm curious (and I use that word quite wrongly) how you're going to convert anyone here without flouting the no-preaching rule. Still, "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" as the Bard once said.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Welcome.

And since you seem to be somewhat interested in being honest about your intentions here, let me ask you a question. Do you believe that your god sent you here?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Well at least your being truthful about your intentions! As much as I don't agree with you, I do respect the fact you've openly admitted you'd like a few conversions! Just be warned, the people on this board will react pretty harshly to any preaching attempts Smile

But nonetheless, welcome.
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true - Carl Sagan

RE: introduction
ewalter, welcome. You are certainly welcome to come here and converse. You should strike conversion from your list of objectives, though. Even if it is at the bottom of the list, it will make your time here short. We do not discourage people from becoming Christians through discourse here. However, it is against the rules to actively try to convert people. Good luck.
