Hello members of this forum. I just joined here, as you can all see. But unlike most here, I am an atheist. But don't worry everyone, I'm not here to bash your faith, or convert any of you, I'm here to educate people about atheism, and to see what it's like being a member of a christian forum. I hope you all can accept me as a member of your forum for awhile, and we can all get along.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

hmm, I very much doubt you'll get along with many of site's users here...
lots of them are very close-minded people, who'd just report your posts because you're an atheist.
Goodluck anyways
hit me up if you wanna have a chat some timeoh and NEVER try giving advice, trust me. Friendly and Good advice from an atheist here will just be seen as Satan in desguise, trying to corrupt these pure christian souls...

im not saying all of them are that way, but some of them are, as I've noticed
I could give you tons of examples but I prefer not to do so, I'd rather keep this thread a peacefull one

Of course they're not, which is evident by the fact Thomas the Atheist is still here. Even if such events were to occur, well, that's what our moderating team are for.
If you dislike it that much, why are you still here in the new members forums perpetuating myths? I mean, surely you have better things to spend your time doing than staying on a forum where everyone seemingly hates you?

I once made a thread in which me and some of my (christian) friends could have a very friendly and polite conversation, but without any rules.
we could talk about whatever we wanted and adress anything about eachother's religion / lifestyle. All of those who participated really liked it and checked the thread daily because it kept getting updated that much
suddenly, a user of this site which I shall not name, decided that this had to stop. He didn't even talk to me about this thread once. He just posted one message saying that the thread was blasphemy and that he'd get a mod to close it. I messaged him back saying that I had already spoke to a mod about this thread, and that he agreed with it as long as our "debate" didn't turn into something ugly.
Anyways, what happened was that this one user decided to get all his friends and started reporting all of my posts made there...
the thread got closed, I asked the mod what happened, and he said he'd received so much reports, he had to shut it down.
at the time I couldn't really believe it... just because someone (who didn't even participate in our thread) decided to teach the atheist scumbag I am a lesson, got my thread closed and my account banned...
I'm not really sure, but isn't this like against ALOT of the christian values?
Not everybody hates me
and I'm glad about that. Some people have been hating me for as long as I can remember just because I'm an atheist, but on the other hand, I've made lots of friends here and that's why I'm still here, because of all the friendly people and because of all the people who actually need, care for and are grateful of my advice. Really, I've helped some people a great lot here, and that matters to me more than all of the close-minded people who prefer not even to consider what I write, but who just press the REPORT symbol as soon as they see i'm an atheist.

Glad to have you here, and I'm looking forward to your posts!!!

As a Catholic christian, my Church allows the option of interpreting Scripture either literally or symbolically, or both at the same time. The Catholic Church has always in its 2,000 years of history, considered itself to be the Church of reason. So, theistic (not atheistic) evolution is compatible with our faith.

Hello and a warm welcome to CF! 
I'm sure you'll be able to have some decent discussion here even though some of us can tolerate less, which of course saddens many of us. I hope you'll enjoy your time here and get some new friends! Have a nice rest of a weekend.
