[QUOTE="The Gentleman Atheist, post: 54081848, member: 257314"] Hullo good people. As you might guess from my moniker, I am an atheist. There is no malice or demonry sewn up in this identifier it is merely a fact that I have never, and likely never will believe in any supernatural being. Perhaps it is a personal shortcoming, perhaps it is not. In any case, I do hope that you will reserve judgment in favour of open, productive conversation. I am hoping that you may help me. I have sought for some time to understand what motivates a person to become a believer. I thought that this might be the best forum to investigate this phenomenon. Wouldn't you? This is not an attempt to harry you good people with inefficacious drivel intended to humiliate or injure. In fact, I am desperate to understand you, because I am in a life-relationship with one of you. :love: I think that you can understand, then, my presence here. Peace through understanding, eh what? And so I am supposing that it would be entirely fruitless to ask of you your reasons for being christians. This would be opening a very subjective box, and neither you nor I can presume that I would understand these notions. Furthermore, I have previewed many of your threads with other atheists on this forum, and really how these things can become wanton silliness so quickly! As I maintain that profundity lies in fact, I hope to be able to keep my questions as objective as possible. Perhaps instead of my asking, "Why are you a christian?" I could instead ask, "What things originally brought you to the christian faith?" Well, [B]what people or events did originally bring you to the christian faith? [/B]I am eager to know. Thank you very much for your time and serious responses. -The Gentleman Atheist [/QUOTE]
