Not at all unwelcoming (it's a fair question). I was previously a participant in a very good Christian forum. It had a number of good intelligent people, and there where a number of good discussions. While many of the discussions where between various forms of other theists, there was a few atheists who came in. The owner of that forum, started to decide that disagreeing with someone wasn't very loving, and that love was the answer, so people started to be banned and censored (theists mind you... not atheists). Many of the good people for a discussion if they where not being banned, started leaving. So long story short, I was banned (although later claimed that it was a mistake), and I started looking for a new place for discussion.
After looking at a number of atheists forums and a few Christian forums, I ended up here. I'm interested in discussion and I was interested in ideas beyond the new atheists movement, and those few atheist who I had talked to in the previous forum. I'm here to examine other ideas, and to evaluate them for myself. And perhaps clear up some misconeptions or offer another Christian POV in some areas that people are not familiar with.
