Title: Greetings to HAF

YO

A big hello to those here. I am new to your forum and wish to lay out a greeting so that you know I am not a troll just causing trouble.

I look forward to many enlightening conversations! As you can see in the list >, I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian of the Antiochian persuasion.

What is new in the land of materialists?

Based on your name my first impression was that you were likely an atheist.  Discovering you are Christian was a happy surprise.  There are not enough of you here.

Welcome!

Thank you! My choice of name is a probably failed attempt at being clever, and is a homage to the rather unusual path I took to my Tradition. I was a lifelong Agnostic.

Thank you for the welcome! I will have a look around and get my bearings here before I jump in too much. I think it important to be involved where one does not readily fit. Struggle and resistance breeds growth, and as a "sheep among wolves," I shall certainly find some here!   :D

Howdy Baal! Please note that not everyone here is a materialist. There are pantheists of sorts. Anyway, welcome!
