This would be my first post. My name's Mike, and I'm from Kalamazoo, Michigan. I'm an atheist, but I like posting on Christian forums because it gives me someone to debate with and I tend to not agree with most atheists on atheist message boards. They're very into philosophy, and I'm not, and they believe that none of the Bible is true and that even Jesus didn't exist, and they tend to get very irritable when you try and argue with them about it, no matter what evidence you show them. I also post on heavenlysanctuary.com. I am hoping to find a lot of nice Christians here to chat with as well as some atheists that I might share some opinions with.

Nice to meet you all.

Welcome Mike. You sound very reasonable and I for one wouldn't mind debating you at all. And now, even though you don't belive in Him:

Here’s a little something put together to help you out,

Maybe you’re an old-hand at Internet discussion boards, but in case you’re somewhat overwhelmed, now might be a good time to take a peek at the FAQ which will explain a lot of things here at CF.
You probably read the Terms of Service you agreed to when joining, but now might also be a good time to read through the Rules. They might seem long, but it may help make your stay smoother to somewhat familiarize yourself with them. They’ll tell you where and when one can post what, like, posting images (after 100 posts), restrictions on some particular forums (by age, gender and such), how to get or earn blessings (sort of our CF money) for a CF character or pet, ‘armor’ (clothes for your character), games and such, the Private Message (PM) system. You require a 5-post-count before your allowed to Private Message. If someone messages you or sends you blessings you can reply however. More on Blessings near the bottom CF is a huge place and we want you to feel welcomed and enjoy us.



Here are just a few forums that might be helpful in starting to explore the place. Just click on the links and find a place you like:


CF Announcements (what’s going on around here)
Report Bugs (not the crawly ones)
CF How-To (Mostly technical questions on site usage)
CF Welcome Angels (CF helpers)
Regional forums – Where are you from?
Congregations and Faith Groups– What church you go to?
Chatting with individual Staff members (usually in informal ways of friendship)
Friendship Court (for meeting friends)
Face the Board (which is ‘open’ to all members to ask YOU questions)
Recovery (non-professional help with particular life struggles)
Outreach to non-Christians by Christians, seeker prayers and help from Christians, etc.
Edification (Christians Only) Blogs, Prayers, Testimonies, Advice


And if you are looking for things to do besides posting, you can ...


To see a full list of forums click on "Christian Forums" in upper left hand corner. I hope these links are helpful to you.


About Blessings:
Blessings are used here to do things like get a character, and getting "armor" Clothing for your character, even a Pet, and to buy the pet food to feed it daily. Blessings are used like money here.

Every time you post you get blessings as well.

Same with the "Bank" you can put blessings in the bank and go once a month to collect interest. Each time you deposit or withdraw blessings the timer gets reset for another week.

There is a fun area here called Blessing Exchange, where people play different games to earn more blessings in larger amounts.


Have a happy journey here at CF and feel free to contact the New Member Intro forum moderators or other Staff, or the CF Angels with any questions. We are volunteers here and may not always have ready answers, but are filled with patience and kindness and will usually point you in the right direction and are intent on being helpful to your concerns.


Welcome To CF!

Thank you for all the info. I did have one question though that I didn't see in the FAQ. I tried to reply to a thread in either the apologetics or Bible History forum, but it told me I needed 100 posts to post there. I was wondering where I can post to build up my post count, and what specific forums have that type of restriction.

does mean atheist that no belive in the saint of nicolas?

Do you mean Christmas? If so, I see no reason not to celebrate it. Much of society is based around values not our own, we cannot simply cast away all those we don't agree with simply for the sake of ideological consistency.
