Hi everyone, its me Ervin. I closed of my account recently. I actually did that with all of the forums, for reasons better not discussed. For thosewho don't know me I believe in an interventionist God. I believe that there is devine justice and that for instance those who do evil til death will I believe be punished somehow. My assumption of the punishment would be eternal death. Maybe its karma that does it, eather way I believe that what goes around comes around. I also believe negative forces/spiritual beings. I believe that parts of the theistic books contain wisdom and truth and parts are not true or are to be understood metaforicaly. I believe in doing good. In deciding what's good I use reason and faith. I am looking forward to some interesting discussions. I understand that my views are not going to be liked by some but I asure you that I don't dislike someone for being an atheist. Thanks.

Hi everyone

Do you have any "evidence" or are you just a run-of-the-mill theist?
Hi there.
Trudging through endless religion one step at a time.
I might think your notions are hillariously silly, but that doesn't mean that I should despise you right away. So, hi and hello, welcome (back?) to the forums.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
Well, welcome.
I agree with Min, let's see some evidence.

I'm just new here myself, so please take my comment with a grain of salt, but why do theists join atheist forums? I understand you feel the need to spread the good news, but on an atheist forum? Seriously? Even as a Christian, I never felt compelled to join an atheist forum. Now an atheist, I feel no need to join a Christian one. Personally, I think proselytizing is a form of low self-esteem. The more people you can get to think the way you do, the better you'll feel about what you believe.
Unless of course, I completely wrong, and theists join sites like these because they are on the fence themselves. RE: Hi everyone

(not saying that's what this guy is doing, just implying it). It gets old and sad real quick.
