New user. Thanks for letting me into your group.

Hello everyone
Obvious that I am a follower of Christ among a forum of atheists, but let me thank you for letting me into your discussions.

I wasn't going to stop you... though I don't know how 'obvious' it is. For all I know: you could be lying.

Took a long time to formally introduce myself but in the mean time I have been reading a lot of your posts.

Oh good. Find anything enlightening within my psychobabble?

The reason that I am here is because recently I have been connected to several Christian chat rooms and forums and have found them redundant and boring.

Probably more than one reason then... as there was surely a reason or sixteen that you went to those chat rooms and forums in the first place?

I myself have been a Christian believer all my life and have never known or understood anything beyond an intelligent Creator.

I've known and understood many things beyond an 'intelligent Creator' (Larry wasn't actually all that bright...)

Basic mathematics, for instance

I have had lots of discussions with atheists and I am very curious to know the thoughts and reasons driving the belief of an atheist.

Which belief? I have many. More thoughts and reasons to support my beliefs than I've beliefs... but then that's how it normally is.

If asked I am quite happy to express my beliefs as well.

Happiness is good, but I'm not about to ask. I'm rather apathetic towards all things religious

I do love to express how I feel as well as giving audience to others allowing them to express their views.

I don't love to express how I feel... that's depressing. On the other hand: I love to express silliness and sometimes happiness if it makes even one person smile a little

I never try to tear anyone down or try to change them but be forewarned that I do like to ask questions, lots of questions.
By the way, I like paragraphs.

Please use those paragraphs more often

Many of us have no reservations when it comes to tearing down something stupid. Some of us see religion as stupid. I'm as ready to mock anyone and anything as I am to drink water as I am to laugh.

Also a special thanks to Shell B who has helped farmiliarize me with the proceedings allowing me to finally introduce myself.

You met Shell B and weren't turned to stone?!
