Hi everyone, I'm new here, and as far as I can tell, it looks pretty cool. I am a Christian, with many questions about Atheism, so be ready. ;) My username is Ransom, after the famous Dr. Ransom out of C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy (great books, I might add). See ya' around.

I'll try not to hold that against you.  :)

Welcome, Ransom.  When you've done your 10 posts we'll have a big argument over whether those books are really describing a theology / supernatural situation that mainstream christianity would recognise. Meanwhile, have fun!

EDIT: Try not to get the Pudding held against you - he's soggy.

Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Oh that's just lovely.
Just when I was thinking your avatar is the Niechian Uber Avatar, and then you go warning of sogginess.
What chance of surprise now?

Only kidding, Mr Pudding Sir.  Honest. Just a little joke.  ;D

Looking forward to it. :)

Hello and welcome to HAF, Ransom. I read that trilogy a loong time ago, when I was about 13, and remember enjoying it quite a lot. I'm not sure I'd be willing to re-read it, though that might be an interesting experience. At the time, I had only been an infidel for a couple of years, and I read the story purely as light entertainment, not paying any attention to Lewis's unsubtle religious themes. Thanks for reminding me of it.

I hope you enjoy your time reading and posting here.
