1. I found that there are many interesting topics being discussed here (both religious and non-religious).
2. I post here mainly to make people understand my religion better, since I know that there is almost a zero chance that anyone is going to actually convert (although such a thing is not impossible either). Either way, I have nothing to lose by staying here, do I? At least I can learn more about atheism and other religions as well as science, philosophy, and other topics of my interest.
3. I think that I'm fairly intelligent and a creative thinker - and I haven't talked about some of my other crazier ideas - which means that I have more threads to make (on topics like the soul, afterlife, the nature of God, and stuff like this). You'll see them as time goes on and that's why I'm still here. I don't want to keep all these ideas to myself. So, I like to share them with others because it gets more interesting that way.
4. Sometimes, I come here to pass the time when I have nothing else to do at home. I'm also a member of an Islamic forum (where I'm a moderator as well), but I also like to talk to people with opposing views as well, hence I joined this forum.
5. I can talk to members who have a variety of beliefs (atheists, deists, agnostics, Christians, etc). Some also have interesting personalities, some are witty and intelligent, and some are crazy enough to declare themselves as gods or goddesses and rulers of the universe and even write their own book of laws. (By the way, I was an atheist myself one time, which I also said in my intro thread, so I pretty much know why atheists are atheists).
On the other hand, I know that there's going to be a lot of mockery, hatred, and bitterness in this forum no matter what. But, the good this is that I get over these things very quickly. They don't bother me. Sometimes, I even laugh at comments which other Muslims might get very angry reading them.
Those are some of the reasons that I come to this forum which I wrote in an earlier (and similar) thread, at the link below:
