Hello everyone,
I'm a South African from a conservative Christian family. I realized that I had stopped believing in Christian ideas about three years ago. Naturally, I want to be able to tell my story, as it were. I also want to know why other people believe what they believe and think like they think. But I am an excitable person - even when I'm not speaking to people I'm close to, I find myself getting side-tracked and sometimes emotional when discussing religion or atheism. I've joined the site because it seems like a good place to see how other people order their ideas about religion and atheism and how meaningful conversations about these things can look.
