Raised as a Christian - looking for discussion

[robvalue]

Hey Griffin Hunter, welcome to the forum!

You've already shown yourself to be more thoughtful than most theists we get through here. Generally in their first post they write a load of religious stuff out as fact, and then tell all of us what we believe and why we are stupid. Since you're approaching things in a much more respectful and honest way, I think you will get the same back from most members here
