I came to this forum hoping to have good serious curious philosophical debates with serious people (unlike the childish rants between atheists and theists on reddit and in my school etc..).I don't know THAT many atheists in real life since I live majority Hindu and Muslim country.
I am an ex- ex- Christian (meaning I was a Christian, then Is stopped being a Christian, then I finally went back to believing again in Christianity 2 years back). What first drew me away was the sheer hypocrisy of Christians around me. And during my time as a non-believer (not fully atheist non-believer, just kind of an agnostic non-believer "I don't care" kind a person) I became more interested in differing worldviews. I became involved in different religions and ideologies which are mostly occultic in nature.
But for some long story-load of reasons, I resettled back in Christianity and I am convinced (out of deep profound intuition, not of direct observance arationalization) that every word of the Bible is true........ (In other words, feel free to say I'm stupid, irrational, faithy and crazy)
So if you have questions or challenges about Christianity, Occultic Satanism, New Age philosophy, Fringe Physics, Theology and Hinduism & Eastern thought, or even my personal experience of atheism, I can help.
Though I appear like a close-minded bible-bag, I promise you I will try my best to stay as open minded and objective as my (bigoted, irrational, narrow-minded, Jesus-freaky) mind can let me.
Any questions?
P.S. Please please pleasr smile and be kind to me bcz I feel nervous and little scared that you might yell at me.

Best advice I can give is don't preach, be open-minded and treat everyone as people first and not their beliefs and all will be well. There are some great folks around here and a lot of variety.

How big? How bad? Do you have exploits we should hear about? Quite. My big bad exploits were usually on the lines of regurgitated conservative clichès like "you god-hatin atheistard leftist communist gay piece of shit". So I don't blame you or anyone for disliking Christians.
Well then join the club. Most of us are getting over one set of issues or another engendered by god belief, past or present. Even that shooter who had the christers stand up before shooting them was obviously unhinged by religion. Lets hope we all make enough progress to never become that guy.

The only legitimate argument I've ever heard against evolution is:
"There is no such thing as the Theory of Evolution. There are only those species that Chuck Norris has allowed to survive." I was a formerly staunch Kent-Hovind idolizing Evolution denier (which is PLAIN stupid). Then I was full blown staunch Evolution advocate (which I also think maybe a little stupid).
Currently, I'm a Reverse Evolution and Creative Abiogensis advocate (this is rarely debated on so maybe a stupid idea too who knows) I am just an inexperienced teen with no scientific credentials so you might as well school me on my misconceptions on Evolution when I debate.

The good news is you certainly consider everything. Open-minded? Check!
Really the only way we can grow in our knowledge is to listen to both sides of the argument, consider all possibilities and it's ultimately your decision in what you choose to believe.

It did not spin because Chuck Norris is always going to come up as the right answer anyway, so why bother? Did any one else notice that Chuck Norris is the only white tile?

A fortunate coincidence - it just so happens that I am a very serious peop and often say curious things. So fire away - what would you like to debate?

If we make a slight alteration to your phrase: "you god-hatin atheistard leftist communist gay piece of shit" then you will have something that accurately describes some of us. For me, we would have to alter it a bit more, but it isn't all wrong for me either.
Also, whether "god-hatin" would need to be crossed out or not would depend on how literal one was. The character in that fictional book known as "The Bible" that is there called "God" is a character that many of us hate. But not being real, to say that we hate it requires clarification. Also, I don't hate Dionysus, so it depends on what god we are discussing.

Welcome young person!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
