I came to this forum hoping to have good serious curious philosophical debates with serious people (unlike the childish rants between atheists and theists on reddit and in my school etc..).I don't know THAT many atheists in real life since I live majority Hindu and Muslim country.
I am an ex- ex- Christian (meaning I was a Christian, then Is stopped being a Christian, then I finally went back to believing again in Christianity 2 years back). What first drew me away was the sheer hypocrisy of Christians around me. And during my time as a non-believer (not fully atheist non-believer, just kind of an agnostic non-believer "I don't care" kind a person) I became more interested in differing worldviews. I became involved in different religions and ideologies which are mostly occultic in nature.
But for some long story-load of reasons, I resettled back in Christianity and I am convinced (out of deep profound intuition, not of direct observance arationalization) that every word of the Bible is true........ (In other words, feel free to say I'm stupid, irrational, faithy and crazy)
So if you have questions or challenges about Christianity, Occultic Satanism, New Age philosophy, Fringe Physics, Theology and Hinduism & Eastern thought, or even my personal experience of atheism, I can help.
Though I appear like a close-minded bible-bag, I promise you I will try my best to stay as open minded and objective as my (bigoted, irrational, narrow-minded, Jesus-freaky) mind can let me.
Any questions?
P.S. Please please pleasr smile and be kind to me bcz I feel nervous and little scared that you might yell at me.

Best advice I can give is don't preach, be open-minded and treat everyone as people first and not their beliefs and all will be well. There are some great folks around here and a lot of variety.
