Hello,

I was raised in the Seventh Day Adventist church, and although I am not worthy to be called one, I cannot deny what I have learned from their resources. 

I am familiar with all of their doctrines, and I would like to say that they are unique to the rest of Christendom, despite the amalgamation of many of their sectors into common religions.
By coming to an atheist forum, you would think that I want to be eaten by lions, but I am able to answer any queries about SDA's, and why their standing puts them into opposition with the rest of the world's religions.

Besides that, I am interested in talking with Atheists, because I am an Atheist by nature, and I feel that in many cases they are not given the credit for their logic, by the professed believers in God.
However, I am also ready to challenge some of Atheist thinking, because I have had to face similar questions in order to accept some of the answers.

Am I here to advertise the religion? It is invariably part of me, so yes I would be, but not intentionally.

I am not going to share anything, unless you ask a direct question, and I'll give a short answer, but I am more interested in your experiences and views.

Welcome, from sunny Portugal!

First question, what is a "Seventh Day Adventist church"?
Why should I care about it enough to ask questions?

Welcome Woof.

The answer is in the name - the "seventh day" of the week - Saturday is a day of rest from work, to be kept sacred, and "adventist" means looking for the "advent" of Christ coming to earth and taking them to his world.
What a nice place you live in.
