Many moons ago, I think I joined because I had an obsession with Forums and Messageboards at the time, so the idea of actually finding a Christian one was appealing. I remember I used to enjoy the discussions and actively participated in them, finding it very refreshing to be surrounded by people who actually give a crap about godly things. That forum luster faded away though as the years went on; life got more demanding as it tends to do. This is my first post here since well over a year ago. Since I'm not sure if I can get into a forum flow again, so there's no telling when my next post will be after this one. *shrug*

I came here because of a post on a Bicycling board (politics and religion forum) about stupid things Christians say.

I decided to dig a bit deeper and not just assume the selected posts were representative.

Sadly on some boards they were, at least for the board.

Here was where I found some of the most thoughtful posts.

It was only after I joined that I realized many of those were written by non-Christians. Many but not all. There are a lot of very reasonable and thoughtful Christians here. Sadly in the debate/discussion area it seems Christian jerks are over represented.

My browser and Google.

I initially came here after being kicked out of a conservative church. I tried to be agnostic, but I couldn't reject my belief in God, so I was looking for a large place with a lot of different denominations so I could get a view on how others worshipped and saw God and the Bible, so I could make a reasonably intelligent choice on where to go from there.


Stan it was the same to me with the google ;)
Speculative glad you did not give up on Christianity! :clap:

Hey Keith I have seen you around. You are right to say that some are indeed annoying etc. that is human nature and one needs to work with oneself to change christian or not! I am happy you enjoy the site :)
I originally signed up to comfort a girl I felt was being unfairly attacked. She never responded to me, so I just decided to stay still, lol.
Glad you are still around! Hope you are having a great summer :)
Someone I used to work with mentioned it.

Hi JayJayS :thumbsup:
