Hello, everyone

[Rolls]

Hi there. I'm a Christian, but I'm here just to listen and learn about your perspectives. I'm interested in why and how you came to hold your current beliefs, not to try and counter them, but to hear from real people about their real experiences. I'm going to start with the Converts' Corner. Thanks for having me.

Hi. I suspect you think that atheists have a system of beliefs to which they adhere. Prepare to discover that you are wrong. Have at it.

I don't know that I would describe it as a system of beliefs. I would think all atheists would agree with the proposition that there is no god and, as a result, probably affirm some version of materialism... but the reasons why could vary widely from person to person. Other than that, I wouldn't assume there's much of anything that needs to be agreed upon (like some set of doctrines or anything). But, if I'm wrong about all that, it's a big reason why I would prefer to hear it directly from someone like you here. So, am I fairly close or way off the mark in my understanding?
