Hey

[Gabriel Syme]

Hi there

I am new to the forum. I am a British (Scottish) Catholic, I am 35, married and I am employed as a professional engineer.

I am attracted to the forum for the range of topics it covers; as well as atheist/theist discussion, there is stuff about the arts, science etc.

I enjoy talking with people who have a different belief or world view from me. I find it stimulating to hear others point of view, and to learn in what way they mentally approach topics like morality, or theism, or how to cook an excellent burger, or who is going to win the next superbowl, or whatever.

I guess I seek discussion and debate, but in a positive, constructive fashion, where we can share ideas and agree-to-disagree at times. I am not here to try to convert people, patronise people or to intentionally piss anyone off.

I form my opinion of people based on the content of their character, how they conduct themselves and how they treat others - not based on if they are religious or not - so look forward to meeting some of you on the forums!

Cheers
GS
