Love this forum already.

Obviously, atheists don't look to the Bible as a divinely sanctioned and authoritative source for moral instruction. But there is nothing preventing atheists taking inspiration from its pages and pursuing justice for the downtrodden, extending mercy and forgiveness, or trying to live according to the "Golden Rule". There is nothing inherently theistic about that, and many atheists were first introduced to such ideas through Bible stories.

In my case, there are several episodes in the Bible that have informed my moral outlook.

Should I make a thread or post on a thread that is there already ?

Make one if you wish. It would be a bit odd to introduce yourself by piggy-backing onto someone else’s introduction thread.

 Your referring to it as theory tells me you do know there's no proof for evolution and you would be right.

So if I referred to the theory of gravity, that would tell you that I do know there's no evidence for gravity?

But still you can use it to substract( i don't knwo if the term exists, i'm not a native english speaker) good ideas . From my point of view , you never know from where will come the piece of information that you are missing .

The Parable of the Good Samaritan is one I'm fond of.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
