Hi Ped,
I'm hoping to have found a good spot to post, as well.  I've been lurking about recently too, on a variety of forums, trying to find a new home -- rather like Christians, I suppose, trying out new churches.  :)  

When you spoke of going through different phases were you referring to episodes of doubt -- ie. questioning your belief in God and/or questioning your atheism?  If that's what you mean I once did a lot of that myself.

Hi ped

Welcome aboard.

Chris

Hi Cycel. no not episodes of doubt, just various degrees of militantism and all that.

thanks all for the warm welcomes!!
