Hey, the name's Tyler, and as you can see from me posting in this forum, I'm pretty much new here.
As long as I can remember in my ~16 years of life, I've always pretty much been a 'radical atheist' who'd pretty much been opposed or offended by anything to do with religion, especially Christianity (which is pretty big in my home state of Queensland). I won't go into to much detail over how 'radical' I became (looking back on it, all I can say is that it was pretty bad), but in recent years I've slowly began to soften my stance on faith and over the last year I've actively began to look more deeply into matters of theology and the teachings of Christ.
As it stands right now; I don't really feel comfortable enough to go and visit church for the first time in my life (something I've been looking at doing for the past few months). Soon, I feel, I'm probably going to completely abandon my former atheism and accept the word of God as a guiding force in my life. Until that day however, all I'd like to say is hello, and I hope we all have a good time on the forum.
