Hi everyone! I am a highschool student from China that lives in Beijing. Philosophy and religion are topics that really interest me and that was the reason why I joined this forum. I look forward to have some interesting and insightful discussions here on this wonderful website!
Sadly, for some unknown reason this website is blocked in China so I have to use a proxy to get on. So sometime I might not be able to reply to your post right away. I hope that I will have a good time here.
And welcome!
It's sad that you have to use a proxy, I heard that Chinese people cannot use

.com either.
Welcome to the forums though, I hope you enjoy it here.!
To skwurll:
I have no idea why this forum is blocked in my country. I can go on to a lot of other foreign web forums just fine. But that is why I have 4 back-up proxies and VPNs!
Welcome! Hope you like it here!
Welcome aboard!
Regards
Chris
