Welcome aboard progressive xtian person.
If you don't mind a clarifying question so soon upon your arrival, I have one. I'm not going to ask for justification for your belief in god nor challenge your criteria. But I would like to know how you relate to the god you believe in, if in fact you do. I assume you were raised in a way that fostered belief in a god. Nothing wrong with that, I was too. But I guess I wonder what it is that sustains that belief now.

Welcome! And, prepare yourself for being told by our more vehement Christians that you're not a "true" Christian.

Hello Denny
If anyone gives you trouble, I'll vouch for your True Christianity©
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Bill Maher is not totally right when he says that getting rid of religion would fix global violence, but he's really close. If somehow an absolutely undebiable major contradiction could be proven (to these people that's a literal miracle then maybe this needless attitude of, "I know I'm right because the Bible/Quran says [insert archaic parable]," could be gotten rid of. ..
The closer one gets to the sun, the more one is affected by it. Not just the heat and light but many many other effects too, like gravity waves, time dilations, and loss of wifi.
There is no way that an object very close to the sun could be confused with a similar object far from the sun, it's too heavily affected by the sun's qualities.
Similarly, there is no way a christian could have an intimate relationship with an all perfect, knowing, loving and powerful being whose affective infinite qualities of good are purported to outshine the finite properties of a sun without the effects being blindingly obvious, let alone statistically significant.
Yet no religion has made better men, only more petty, jealous and violent men. That is your undeniable proof.
Find the cure for Fundementia!

Hi Dennyg, welcome to AF, as Nope said, this forum seems to attract the extreme Christians. (who else would be a part of this?)
Based on that, you will be a good fit.
