There's few, if any, religious message boards that will tolerate an atheist as a member.

They hate dissent with a passion!

From your post it kind of sounds like you expect to be treated with insults and rudeness just because you're a Christian on an atheist website. We don't really swing that way. We show everyone the same respect that they show us, but we don't respect false arguments, baseless assertions, or preaching. So as long as you don't do any of those you should get along OK here.

lets just say I've been arguing with atheists for a while, so I kind of know what to expect. we'll just see how this goes.

I see.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

first, you assume the story is irrational. second, just because someone believes something that seems unreasonable or something that is not true doesn't mean they're irrational in that belief. someone is rational when they can use reason or logic to justify their beliefs. the logic itself does not prove the proposition true but it makes it rational to believe the proposition.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.

Welcome Big Grin

The way you are treated depends on the way you carry yourself around this place. If you are as respectful as you say you are, I should hope you get the same in return. If not, expect anything. I hope you enjoy it here and stick around.
