Hi all, I'm new and I believe in God. Don't worry, I wont start preaching at you Wink

I have lots of questions to ask atheists and I hope we can learn form each other.

Unfortunately I got off to a bad start with some of your members on the 'Chat'. I understand atheists may be somewhat hostile to theists as you must be sick of people telling you how much Jesus loves you or that you will burn in hell. However I am always polite and respectful, so please don't be mean to me.

All the best!

Welcome! I'm hoping we can discuss in a civilised manner soon enough, as I'm always open to new ideas and ways of seeing something. If the reasons for believing it aren't there... Well that's a whole different story but it doesn't mean I won't listen!

Welcome, JesusLover.

I'm hoping you can throw off my first impressions of you from the IRC.

Fresh fish!
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

Hi there! Welcome to AF! ^_^
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

Welcome.

In the spirit of learning from each other. I have a question for you.

I assume that your nickname, JesusLover is not a joke and that you actually do indeed love Jesus Christ. Love of course, is an extremely powerful word and is often misused.
I would like to know why you love Jesus?

I love Jesus because I believe he sacrificed himself for the human race and that he loves me and everyone else. I believe that he is the most perfect, loving being in existence and through accepting his love I can better myself and be closer to him and God.

And why do you believe that is true and not just mythology?
