Well, it's not quite a bunny (it's Mokona!), but yeah, bunnies can fly!

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

RE: Hello
Welcome, agape, I hope you like it here. You early posts are promising. It sounds like you won't have a lot of the misconceptions about atheists that some Christian visitors bring with them. It's not atypical for someone to visit and say they used to be an atheists and have the same ideas about us as a typical fundamentalist. Some of them think claiming to have been an atheist gives them some kind of 'street cred' others apparently think that anyone who hasn't been 'saved' or drinks beer is an atheist and so honestly believe they were one. These are probably the folks who identify as atheists on surveys and also check that they believe in God.

Anyway, I have a feeling that you're the exception to that rule.

Agape love means, uh... the "O" face, I guess. In context, anyway.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I appreciate it. Smile Having been on both sides of the fence, I can understand why atheists get frustrated with Christians and vice versa. Anyhow, it's nice to meet you and I look forward to talking with you more in the forum.

lol it's good over here just take a peek it won't hurt you Tongue

well agape love is unconditional love which is not so common these days, but it comes in essence from esteeming the other person as better than yourself.
