hello athiests :)
i believe in God but do not believe in religion . I had a very convincing experience about 9 years ago and since then have had a continuous relationship with God . I was raised by athiests and never had much respect for religion and even less now that i believe in God . I enjoy debating on a variety of different topics so i just wanted to say hi Shy

Hello other Jenny Smile Welcome
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

Hello. Welcome to the forums!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Tell us about your experience 9 years ago.

earlier in the day i witnessed a strange sight in my yard and discovered that it was snow that was falling on one side of my yard and not snowing on the other side in a straight line and i noticed after staring at it for some time that not 1 flake passed across the line that went straight down my yard and continued down my neighbors yard , so that scared me because it wasnt natural or made sense since there was not complete absence of moving air and so flakes of snow should have randomly passed over the line though did not , so that observation was more alarming than the line itself . so i was really scared and believed for several hours that it was some kind of man made disaster but then later i became convinced it was God because i started having new thoughts that i didnt recognize and inspiration that i recognized as very different than my own thoughts and a feeling of certainty that it was from God although i didnt consider the possibility that it was from God the came into my mind and i just had a feeling of being very sure without a doubt without considering it . if that makes sense lol and no i wasnt smoking anything when this happened .
