Everyone's welcome here.
If you're genuinely not a troll you have nothing to worry about.
Thank you - tell me about you, though, where are you from and what's your background with all of this stuff?
Also, I think I figured it out - for those who are interested in the problem of evil's existence in the world with a holy God, go to Moderator Notice

LOL. Right. We're going to go watch witch-doctor preachy crap on YouTube. And then we'll post all sorts of questions, because the preachy crap spewed the same preachy crap theists have posted here thousands of times already. Funny troll.

Just here to spam your poxy tubeface vids then? No, I'm not interested, fuckoff.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Sorry, troll. Not buying it.
Hahaha I've not gotten this one yet, that genuinely made me laugh. For clarification sake, what part are you not buying? You not buying that I was an atheist? That I am a Christian? Do you think I'm trolling you?

Why did you become atheist?
Why did you go back to being Christian?
The churches that I'm most connected to (at home and near school) aren't really denominational, but they're basically somewhere in the Presbyterian-Mission denomination. I don't know nearly enough about denominations to give a strong answer as to where they fall under because some denominations cover a wide variety of churches, and I don't fully understand that because it's not a big priority in my mind.
I was having angst issues growing up and didn't understand a lot when it came to God, so when I asked my mom, she wasn't able to give me a satisfactory answer, and neither was anyone at the excuse for a church I went to. So I left, and it caused a big stir.
A few years went by, and I realized atheism didn't make sense to me - it didn't make sense that we came from nothing, or that the universe formed itself. There has to be a higher power involved in all this beauty, and as I started to seek God, I found the answers to the questions I had, just not in the church I had been in when I was younger.
Thank you for answering.
On the OP you said you used to be a Christian Scientist, and then you said "blech."
What is a Christian scientist and why is it blech?
You can't post links until you've been here for 30 days.
So your links got deleted. Can you tell me your YouTube name so I can look you up?

Hello new guy. I tend to take people on their word until they give me reason to doubt them. That doesn't mean I'll take it on your word that gawd exists, mind you. Empirical claims require evidence. But I do believe that you believe in something you're calling a god. May not be what everyone would call a god, but if you say so, I'll believe that you believe in what you think a god is. Got it.
I also believe you thought you might be an atheist when you realized just how bad the kool aid was in the church you were raised in. I think you thought you were an atheist for the same reason so many theists assume to be our reason, that you were angry at god. That might have been true for you, and it might be true for some others who currently think they're atheists. But certainly is not the reason for me or for the vast majority of the folks here on this site.
Now you're a believer again. Happy for you if it makes you happy. Why not? It's your life, have it your way. But we've had so many apologist missionaries come through here claiming to have been an atheist before becoming saved. It gets tiresome. But you're still in your grace period with me. If you say you were, you were. What's next? Still interested in posting here if you can't advertise your youtube channel? If so, let me know and if you really want me to tell you something about me, I will.

How did you suffer brain damage, that you left atheism for an obvious fantasy?

The staff already made a warning post here about following the rule to be nice in intro threads.

And we're serious about that.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
