Hello all.  I'm a Christian.  I've been lurking around for a few days taking in some of the topics in the religion section.  Thought I may add some thoughts.  Looking forward to sharing thoughts and ideas.

The Magic Pudding

Welcome Dirt.
I'm not going to ask if you approve of the Pope's dirt kissing.
It could be seen as inappropriate and unwelcoming.
He probably only kisses artificially formed surfaces anyway.

I've been in fox holes, I'm still an atheist -Me-

God is a cake, and we all know what the cake is.

(my spelling, grammer, and punctuation suck, I know, but regardless of how much I read they haven't improved much since grade school. It's actually a bit of a family joke.

Howdy! I hope you're ready for a scourging. Intellectual scourging that is. But it's ok if you prefer masturbation. :D

Welcome to HaF =P
I ask theists if God is omnipotent. They say yes.
I ask theists if God loves us. They say yes.
I read the news paper or look on the web or remember other people's sad stories or remember things that happened to me...and I see that no omnipotent entity loves us.
I ask theists if they can prove their god. They can't.
So, I have excellent reason to

If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.
"Religion is a culture of faith; science is a culture of doubt." ― Richard P. Feynman
'It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.' - Terry Pratchett
Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

I don't have the intelect needed to change anyone's mind, but am willing to throw my feeble opinion(s) in the mix and am fully ready for the "intellectual scourging" coming my way.  My hope is I'd like to be able to dialog with others of opposite mind and gain some insight and maybe share some.  Atheist or Christian, neither has absolute proof.

:)  Thx once again.

Welcome!  Glad to have a different perspective.  Hopefully you like it here and decide to hang out a bit.

So far I do.  Thanks.  However I'm finding it already difficult to be one among many asking questions and making points, trying to sort them all out and answer fairly to my best ability.
I endeavor to do my best.  :)
