Hello and Blessings!
October 29, 2015 at 2:36 pm
Look, I know I might not fit in here well.
I know you guys are probably unhappy, and wounded, angry at God, angry at the world.
It makes me so sad to hear that 
But I am here.. to give a positive voice to Christianity. I am sure many of you grew up religious but fell away ( due to a misunderstanding or something...)
So... Lets find out about eachother  !

Don't tell atheists they are "angry at God". Are you angry at the Tooth Fairy? No? Why? The Tooth Fairy doesn't exist. Neither does god. I'm not even remotely upset with an entity that doesn't exist. The people who think he does, though, are just rude and abusive and offensive.
Now, if you can let god TALK FOR HIMSELF and show up, I might change my mind. Not until then.

$20 says you didn't get this little gem of knowledge from an atheist.

Why would I be angry at something non- existent?

You know, I tried the same thing about 15 years ago at a ex-christian website.
Boy, was I pompous!
I didn't know it then, but I understand it now.
By the way, I have to ask; how do you see yourself as being different from others who visit here? I presume you must see them as not being "a positive voice to Christianity." So, how do you differ?

Welcome.
Interesting you assume atheists are angry at god and the world or left the church over'misunderstandings'. One would have to believe in a god to be angry at him or her (and say you did believe in a mythical sky being, how would you even know which god to be angry at? Was it Zeus or Thor who fucked you over? Who knows!). And I for one don't need a book or the fear of burning for all eternity being to be an overall happy, decent person and contributing member of society.
