The soul hardly ever realizes it, but whether he is a believer or not, his loneliness is realy a homesickness for God. -Hubert van Zeller

Greetings everyone, SkepticalOne here. I'm an atheist from the Internet Infidels board who heard about your site and decided to check in. Look forward to meeting you.

Welcome, SkepticalOne, to Christian Forums, the little project of Dr. Erwin Loh that has grown into quite a fascinating and large community. Congratulations on making it this far. Perhaps you’ve been lurking for a while and have already figured out a bit here and there, like what all those buttons do on the navigation bar at the top, who ChrisBot is, and those particularly ‘dangerous’ forums that always garner so much attention and ‘trouble’ (heavy moderation and tempestuous debates). But in case you haven’t, now might be a good time to take a peek here: FAQ . These FAQs will explain a lot (though not all) of the somewhat confusing things in the eye-feast of overwhelming CF thingies.
You probably read the Terms of Service you agreed to when joining, but in case you did not it’s a good idea to attempt to read the rules listed here: Rules. I know they’re long and drawn out, may be a bit confusing and subject to various interpretations, but it may help to make your journey smoother to familiarize yourself with them. CF is a huge place and try as we may to be a gentle bunch, I’ve noticed that sometimes it doesn’t take much for trouble to put a ‘kick me’ sign on ones back, and no one wants to see that for people of good intent. I know it might take most of your day, week, month, or year(s) to become thoroughly familiar with everything; but you should at the very least skim the FAQ outline and be aware of certain limitations like where you can talk about what (especially in the “Christian Only” forums when compared with those “Open to all members”, or those otherwise specifically designated as “open”); when and how you can post pictures/images or post in certain restricted forums; when and where to post e-mail links; those ever important faith icons (of which you’ve already had to choose); how to chunk up on blessings for pets, CF characters and ‘armor’, or games, quizzes, and such; the Private Message system that might pop up on your screen any moment now; what to do with a rogue member or (eek!) moderator; what some of the pesky abbreviations mean that you’re sure to come across (like OP, OSAS, IMHO, TTYL, DTTBOWTBW (don’t throw the baby out with the bath water)), etc.

You’ll notice we have an Intro Sticky by the lovely AngelAmidala: http://www.christianforums.com/t1110956-please-read-the-rules-before-posting-thanks.html , that most forms have other ‘Sticky’ introductions that can often be important to read before posting in that forum, and that some of the more popular threads have little numbers beside them (like “Welcome to all new members (4)”) which means they’ve been continued in further incarnations after reaching a 1000 post limit.

I don’t mean to take up all of the space in your very own Intro thread, so have a happy journey here at CF, and here’s just a few forums that might be helpful in starting:
CF Announcements (what’s going on around here, what’s not working and why)
Report Bugs (not the crawly ones)
Questions about CF (a jumble of interrogatories bordering on talking with the divine)
Staff Praise (public sharing of lots of good stuff)
Staff Appeals (mostly private sharing of smidgens of pepper and/or pepper spray, and the eye-rinse that follows)
How to become a site supporter
Help with IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
Chatting with individual Staff members
Face the Board (which is ‘open’ to all members)
Friendship Court (no pretzelizing allowed)
Help with creating a CF Homepage

Feel free to contact the New Member Intro forum moderators (the orange “s” people) with any questions.
To see a full list of forums click on "Christian Forums" in upper left hand corner.
Be blessed and happy trails,
